Many Faces of Winning

The Olympics, Politics, and the Commodification of (Almost?) Everything

NOTE: I love sports in general and the Olympic Games in particular. What follows is an observation of both, and not a criticism of either. This podcast and writing became a bit unwieldy for me as it (and I) emerged. Thanks for your indulgence.

Manizha Talash, Olympic Refugee Team, Breaking
Mohammed Dwedar, Palestine, 800m
Kinzang Lhamo, Bhutan, Marathon

Recommendation: If you didn’t see any of the Olympics, search for videos about some of the folks mentioned in the first paragraph under Current Olympics above.

Something to Consider: What are your thoughts on the commodification of (almost?) everything? Do I overstate it here? Understate it?
