July 30th

I do like the Olympics, but the whole commercialism of sport pisses me right off. Many fans have missed out on tickets because sponsors have lapped up loads. I don’t really see a trickle down of wealth coming down to your average worker or independent trader as the money seems to have corralled by some key corporations.

I wonder what the Olympics would be like if we reverted to the Ancient format of the games, with Chariot racing for instance. I’m not that keen on naked running / wrestling, but hey, if it makes it authentic, why not. (other people competing, not me!).

As I watched the games, I took this photo from our living room window.
