You couldn't be more wrong about this one Joe even back in ancient Greek times the Olympics was a huge profitable business. And in fact back then it was the biggest show

They sold tickets, food, water, alcohol, souvenirs etc. Same as with the gladiators. It was always a business model and not just a competition.

[The.This.Them.]

We will always find ways to exploit something/anything that we can for personal gain, period....we have to pay for water, fruit, dirt, etc...these are things that exist naturally right?

It was the year 1936 Berlin Olympics. Nazis spent so much money making it an absolute spectacle, everyone and I mean everyone came away from it talking about how incredible the 1936 Olympics games were

In 1936 Berlin Olympics socialist Germany decided the whole world should see the spectacle of these Olympic competitors, so they televised it. Civil rights icon Jesse Owens was the Olympic hero of the generation. The German officials greeted him and were very cordial to him. Yeah that's right, he was treated better in germany, he even has a street in Berlin named Jesse Owens way, then he was here in the United states. Yes, officials in the United States, the counterparts to the German officials that were so enthrall with Jesse Owens and his accomplishments, we're not moved by his accomplishments to the point where none of them created the Olympic star. Yeah so with the camera eye on the spectacle of the Olympics today do you think Simone biles are any other person would be shunned Away by their own country?
