The Olympics Is a Racket
- handmodel 5y ago>The Olympics are a prime example of what Boykoff calls “celebration capitalism.” I can't take Jacobin seriously when it frames everything in this way. The next olympics are in China and are bankrolled by the government. This seems relevant when making the framing that the problem are caused by capitalism - and not by bureaucratic corruption which seems to fit the problems listed in the article more clearly.
