Do any of you have a plan in place for how to tune into the 2024 Paris Olympics? I’ve got a good Jellyfin ecosystem set up to watch my video files and listen to my music, but I haven’t explored many ways to watch live sports content yet. What is the best way to tune in to the events at the Paris Olympics this summer? They’re split across several TV channels. Smooth UX would be my priority - I’m willing to spend a little money if need be. So I was considering going for a Youtube TV free trial during the event, but is there a better method?

        I think it’s to send a message that many people feel disinterested in the olympics for whatever reason.

        For me, I am disgusted that the the olympics have turned into a corporate money making machine. Hosting countries will pick a huge chunk of land to “terraform” into a games site, with little regard to the people who live there or nearby. They’ll displace residents, make people build the infrastructure for low wages and in poor conditions. They’ll spend billions to try and make snow where snow doesn’t naturally occur. The ecological impact alone is massive. There’s also the issue of the housing for the Olympians being substandard and dangerous. I’m not claiming that this happens every time in every country, but it’s certainly a problem and I don’t want to be part of it.

        There’s also the issue of banning trans athletes from competing, which continues to be rooted in ignorance and hypocritical disagreements around what we define as fair. (Bring on the downvotes, I don’t care.)

        I debated posting this at all because it’s off topic, but the question was asked so I gave my perspective.
