Honestly I could care less where they are held the Olympics are just not that compelling to me. I do get to watch some events like swimming or gymnastics once every four years, and those are good TV. I like the sprint events in track and some good basketball, but otherwise I can watch that stuff originating from Rio just as easily.
Nothing captures my attention as far as TV sports as a long Saturday watching great college football games. As long as those don’t get exported or outsourced I’m cool. So while I am not going to stomp on the Obama/Oprah contingent, it was a FAIL, and I don’t care. I won’t hold it against them.
Also in general I think it’s fair to say the Brazilians wanted it more, and given that they’ve never hosted one in SA, good for them.
