How do you like the Olympic movement now?
Four days after attending the Olympic closing ceremonies, Putin invades part of the Ukraine.
This is another terrible event in a long line of terrible events associated with the Olympics. (Hitler's Olympics, the killing in Munich, the Atlanta bombing, the 1980 Olympics while Russia had occupied Afghanistan, the 2002 Olympics in Utah while America was at war in Afghanistan and preparing for war in Iraq, the stripping of medals from two African American athletes in the Mexico games and the shatttered shell of the Olympic stadium in the former Yugoslavia. And let's not forget the debt, especially the debt that help sink Greece.)
Yeah, we shouldn't boycott the homophobe's Olympics because the athletes have worked sooooo hard. Their "protest" against the poor treatment of gays in Russia was so passive that no one saw it. What a joke. Maybe our pampered athletes were in too big of a rush to get back to New York to cash in on their success.
Next time, we can disregard the pampered athletes and boycott the Olympics. Homophobe Putin's Olympics joins the list.

That's pretty funny coming from somebody talking about 'world peace'.
ROFL! 
And since you are locked out, I'll guess your answer: "what about taxes?"
From Wiki: "Unlike most other nations, the USOC does not receive direct government funding for Olympic programs (except for select Paralympic military programs)." Even if it did, the measly amount that would go to that would pale in comparison to what is spent on a single bomber or warship. I think sports is a worthy investment.
PS. The whole everyone who disagrees with me is a tea bagger or republican is kind of dense. Good luck with the getting a handle on things..
I thought you might get hungry waiting for an answer.
