Ban them for cheating.

Banning them for political reasons is the antithesis of the games. And war is politics.

OTOH, Germany and Japan were not invited to the 1948 games in London. Since then there have been constant little fights, and the Olympics carry on...

OTOH, I can't stand the Olympics anymore. American broadcast TV has made them horrible to watch, and trying to watch online is just one big spoiler. Sport only matters when it's live.

How many hands you got?

Could read it as "On the one hand" and "On the other hand"

I hear it as Tevye regardless.

Yeas I stopped watching also. It’s just montages of whichever athlete has the “best” story. It just turns into a documentary about a few athletes and doesn’t focus on the sporting events.

You need HULU if you want to watch the olympics live and have a good experience.

Hard to just call the war only "politics" when would-be athletes are being killed because of Russia's unprovoked invasion.
