I agree that the Olympics are becoming less "important" but I disagree with the writer as to why.
I think it is more that in today's world, international athletes compete against each other all the time. A long time ago, the only time you got to see athletes from other countries was at the Olympics. Now, all the major sports leagues have a pretty good % of foreign athletes.
The Olympics are just not unique any more.

It's just sport. Honestly, if a Brit invented cold fusion I'd get really patriotic. Winning at rowing - meh.

I've found the Olympics less interesting since they started introducing a bunch of sports that get wall-to-wall coverage elsewhere.
Olympic Golf, FFS. Isn't the world awful enough already?
I was only joking

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

That being said, I would fully support combining Olympic Golf with archery or shooting or maybe even lawn-mower racing.

Nah, try golf + bull-riding. Both bulls and golf belong in a pasture.
