Just cut every way in which Olympics get any money from our taxes and TV fees and economical investments and transportation budgets and... and... and... and then to hell with it, let it run if people want it - but make sure that it lives only by money directly made from private donations of people intentionally donating. None of my already high TV fees being used to broadcast some champions Leagues finale. No cent being used from my taxes for the National Olympic committee. No taxes to pay ridiculously high TV rights for live broadcasting such things - the cost-effect-bilance calculates terribly bad. Make sure in every way that the whole hypocritical madness gets payed exclusively by those people only who want to see it. no direct and no indirect subsidies for such commercial shows that are big business only that uses "sports!" as a fig leaf to hide behind. then we even must not worry about doping anymore, and can leave it to the athletes alone.

The idea of the Olympic spirit is dead as dead can be. Commerce has shot, stabbed, poisoned, hanged, beheaded and driven over it. And sporting results being decided by 1/100 second only, decisions that need hightech to be made and are beyond the unarmed human perception capability, are simply ridiculous and against the spirit of sport.

the German flag carrier of the terror games 1972 in Munich, a woman, wrote two weeks ago in two German newspapers (i sum up both articles in content), with regard to Tibet as well as the overboarding commercial interests, that today she would not consider to participate in the Olympics again, that there is no honour in it anymore, and that the Games lost their innocence when 1972 they said after the Palestinian terror: "the Games must go on". This was when commerce took over. She also said she would refuse to carry Germany's flag into the Beijing stadium today, and would consider it to be an offence both for her and for Germany as a nation and a people being abused in that propaganda stunt, to ask her today or even take that into account, and she says that by all means of the original Olympic spirit, the games must be boycotted. She also directly compared to the British football team in 1936 that entered the stadium and raised their right arms for the Hitler greeting. she is a successful doctor in her 50s and wrote history by having been the first female flag carrier here. she hardly needs to speak by reasons of having been unsuccessful and disappointed by life.
