Topics
Bailey Sarian 讲述了奥运会的历史,从古代奥运会的残酷和性别歧视,到现代奥运会的商业化和资金问题,以及运动员面临的压力和歧视。她还探讨了奥运会是否仍然具有其最初的团结和激励意义。 她以轻松幽默的风格讲述了奥运会的黑暗面,包括运动员面临的压力、歧视和不公平待遇,以及奥运会举办地所面临的巨额财政负担。她还提到了吉姆·索普和杰西·欧文斯等运动员的经历,以及他们所面临的种族歧视。 她还讨论了奥运会的商业化,以及赞助商和代言对运动员的影响。她指出,奥运会本身并不支付运动员的参赛费用,运动员的收入主要依赖于赞助和代言。 最后,她提出了一个问题:考虑到奥运会的巨额成本和一些负面因素,奥运会是否仍然值得举办? Jim Thorpe 的故事体现了奥运会中的种族歧视和不公平。他作为一名美国原住民运动员,尽管取得了非凡的成就,却因为曾经参与半职业比赛而被剥夺了奖牌,直到多年后才得以恢复。这反映了奥运会历史上存在的种族偏见和不公平对待少数族裔运动员的现象。 Jesse Owens 在1936年纳粹德国举办的奥运会上取得了辉煌的成就,但他却在美国国内受到了种族歧视的待遇。这突显了即使在国际舞台上取得成功,种族歧视依然存在,以及奥运会如何成为政治和社会问题的舞台。 Pierre de Coubertin 作为现代奥运会的创始人,他的理想是让奥运会成为一项全民运动,但现实中奥运会却逐渐商业化,运动员面临着巨大的压力和不公平的待遇。这反映了奥运会理想与现实之间的差距,以及奥运会发展过程中面临的挑战。

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Now, before the Olympics were a thing, it was really just a bunch of Greek competitions about testing physical limits. They had no fancy ass equipment or Nike sponsorships. But since then, a lot of people have been abused, and  cities have been destroyed. And apparently, people like you and I pay for the Olympics to exist!? Are they even uniting and inspiring us? And with such a hefty price tag, are they even worth it?

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
