I quit watching years ago. However, it’s an insult to Americans that America hating, national anthem sitting LeBron James was the one selected to carry the American flag.

Back in the early 90's I worked for a company that was an Olympic sponsor and I was on the company's Olympic team setting up events, buying Olympic themed swag, and as such, spent time at the USOC HQ in Colorado Springs dealing with their folks in charge of sponsorships. The one big take away from that experience was that the USOC's (and, no doubt the IOC's) biggest concern was wringing as much money out the sponsors as they could. I was totally disillusioned by the whole experience and have, for the most part ignored the Olympics ever since. BTW, having LeBron as the U.S team flag bearer is like having Lizzo as a sponsor for Jenny Craig.

The Olympics has always been just another global money laundering scheme.
Lebrun is a hypocrite.
He won the gold for being racist prick to a young fan....so messed up.
