• Opening? Closing? During? Or is it too much media exposure at the expense of other action? Sorry to pepper you with more questions! And thanks for a nice answer, too.

• They should include a wardrobe malfunction in the opening ceremonies to spice things up.

• It's on a technicality they can compete.
  Even though other countries have professional basketball players in their Olympic teams they are inferior to American players and could be easily beaten by an American team with the best college players in the US.
  I believe college players should be given the chance instead of spoiled millionaires !

• I kind of like them. But they're completely bogus-like a reality show.
  
  The athletes are supposed to be amateurs-they aren't.
  
  The event is supposed to bring nations closer together-actually they're fiercely competitative with eachother.
  
  etc, etc, etc.

• Good points. While I do enjoy them, they are no longer amateur athletics by any means.
