Amen! It's as if they want to feel more important than the athletes who've spent most of their lives trying to be good enough to be Olympians.

The speed! The precision! That's the kind of thing that gives me, a know-nothing, a glimpse of what lugers love about their sport. The kind of thing that helps me become an informed spectator. It’s maddening that after watching several hours of the sport—men, women, and the ungainly doubles—and listening to the commentary, you'd still have no idea what's going on.

A great piece that I thoroughly enjoyedhttps://www.wired.com/story/rants-and-raves-olympic-commentators/
 
How is snowboarding a Frisbee even a "sport"? In my day, they shot real guns at Olympic events.
