English Language Pedantry

Olympic "Movement?" What the fuck makes this bullshit a "movement?" Not exactly like the civil rights movement.

Did the people have to rise as one & march in the streets to demand their televised bread & circuses from the power structure? No, they didn't. Said "movement" was a bunch of literal aristocrats, whose concept of amateurism was wealthy weasels who could spend all their spare time running around naked or whatever it is that goes on at these events, as opposed to working people who might have run around or what-have-you for a shilling or two.

    I think they mean "the bits that aren't making money for said aristocrats."

    Like the actual competition.
