Many thanks for posting this article, William, which I’ll now proceed to read.
You may be overly pessimistic. The last thing I read about the Tokyo Olympics is that only foreigners will be banned, but the Japanese are encouraged to attend, and it is expected that turnout by Japanese attendees may be unusually large for that reason alone (they are a patriotic lot, and the price of attendance will probably exceptionally lowered). The only sport I watch religiously on TV is figure skating. Last winter, the pre-olympic competitions (which determine who will be sent to the Olympics) were held without live audiences, at least in western countries. They were cleverly done, and were… Read more »
I was wrong. Just now read the following: “July 2021: Tokyo fans barred Spectators are banned from Olympic venues in Tokyo and three surrounding regions because of a virus state of emergency imposed in the capital as cases rebound, including the more infectious delta strain.

No Russia, no fans & men allowed to compete in woman’s sports. I think that’s what they call a shitshow.

Yet 60,000+ were allowed to watch England play at Wembley last night and goodness knows how many more were milling about outside. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. The pandemic is only in the minds of the MSM now.
I agree: Why Bother. Personally I have always been against spending money on sporting events. Especially with all the political correctness and virtue signaling and Political Chauvinism, which goes against the very spirit of what The games are supposed to be for. I despise them. Hopefully this will be the Death Nell of this bloated international charade. Japan will get exactly what they deserve a big fat Bill that they cant pay. Tune in Next week for more Japanese foolishness when they try to defend Taiwan. China will have a chance to pay them back with some well deserved atrocities.
