I haven't paid much attention to the Summer Olympics for years (and the Winter Olympics only pique my curiosity for hockey and curling), but there's a difference between indifference and contempt, and for me, the London Olympics are more or less morphing from the former to the later. Remember 1972? They'd just as soon you didn't, you know.
Considering how much the International Olympic Committee resembles the United Nations, should we really be surprised at such a spineless organization? ◙
