I used to love the Olympics, but now sadly, with the influx of professional atheletes into the mix, and even the "professional" way almost all of the events are handled makes it unenjoyable. Between the sappy US coverage-focused more on the drama, than the events (why can't we just watch an entire event, maybe something we normally don't get to see on tv?) and the quest for gold by someone who sees it as a moneymaker, rather than a reward for dedication just turns me off.
