OK, 'Spaw, I'll have to grant you the pre-60's games. So long ago that all the intervening greed & bullshit & drugs & "entrepreneurship" had crowded those memories to the back of what's left of my brain.

Another good idea ruined by rampant capitalism. But I don't think that even in the '60's it was really about the athletes. Since the games moved out of ancient Greece, its always been primarily about the money.
