Shameless money grabs (well, except for the host country, who is left with the bill and a higher rate of VD), sports no one really cares about, and Bob Costas forcing you to be sad for any competitor that ever knew someone that died? SIGN ME THE EFF UP!

That said, JMU has three alumni in the Games this year: https://jmusports.com/news/2021/7/14/wom...mpics.aspx
One thing I hope for with streaming services is we can get games from start to finish rather than 5 minute snippets with 5 minute "human interest" interviews and 5 minutes of commercials. NBC would do full water polo games on some of their alternate channels and it was actually pretty fun to watch. You wouldn't know if you had a slow part of the game bookended by The Costas Show.
