NBA players & honor? LOL...
It's a culture of selfish rich boys that look and act like common street thugs, which is worse in some cases because the money they've got.
+1.
And the Olympics is a joke anyway. It was meant to bring amateurs together when restarted in 1896 and was supposed to be a way to have nations get together in a peaceful non-political forum. How has that worked out? It is supremely political and nationalistic and most sports are now represented by highly paid athletes who care more about advertising deals than competing for the glory of it.
And the cost to put them on bankrupts most cities holding them due to the security expenditures to protect against terrorists.
If they ended the Olympics now and never restarted them, most people wouldn't miss it one bit.
