First of all, you're as insane as anyone else on this planet. You're human; you were doomed to be crazy the moment you were conceived.
That aside, the Olympics in and of themselves aren't a bad thing; it's meant for the world to come together and be nice to each other while engaging in friendly competition. Doesn't stop a lot of people at home from using it as an excuse to be a bunch of fucking assholes to people in other countries - again, we're human, and thus inevitably suck, so more often than not it's just a lot of penis-waving about who's better than everyone else, and the internet has just made that easier for such behavior - but the Olympics in and of themselves have a fine intent.
As for on the whole sports, I don't care for them either, but I don't see the need to piss all over everyone else's parade about it. I do think most professional athletes are ridiculously overpaid, though.
