The Social, Political and Professional Olympic Games

February 25, 2026- Wednesday

The 2026 Olympic Games will be finished tomorrow. I am happy about this.

I should not be surprised but the international competition has become like our society. There has been too much personal drama as far as I'm concerned.

First came the Olympian who confessed to sleeping with a woman different from the woman he had been in a relationship. He came before the international media and confessed of his dalliance and proceeded to prevail upon the first girlfriend to take him back. He failed.

Next came the American women's skater who fell very short of expectations and reference people on social media because she is a lesbian. Do we really need to know who she wants to have sex with? No. It seems the only people who want to make a public issue of who they have sex with are homosexuals.

Then there is Eileen Gu who lives in the United States and goes to school in the United States but skis for China. Gu's mom is Chinese but why compete for a country different from your own? For millions of dollars. China paid millions of dollars for Gu to be Chinese. China gets a gold medal but more than that, and worth the millions of dollars they paid, an Olympic traitor.

Now I will be able to return to watching minor league and major league basketball, the colleges and the pros. I can follow that with professional baseball where the team with the most money wins. (See the Los Angeles Dodgers). Maybe I should start watching professional curling.
