Pardon me if I don't share the panic over this fight between the U.S. Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee over television rights to the 2016 Games.
If anything, it reveals just how crass the Olympics have become.
Billions of dollars are ultimately at stake over who controls the
television rights, belying all that
baloney about the "true spirit of
the Olympics." Why else is Mayor Richard M. Daley so desperate to bring
the Olympics to Chicago? Is he motivated by the Games" "true spirit" or
by the fact that would be the biggest jobs and contracts pot of gold
for the Chicago Machine since the goofy plan to expand O'Hare Airport.
How silly to even ask the question.
