I honestly doubt some sports have any value to the masses at all, such as bobsleigh. The Olympics increasingly operates like a corporation and is used as political tool.

Haven’t you ever seen Cool Runnings? Bobsled is the ONLY sport I’ll watch.

I personally find it the most boring one, it doesn't seem accessible to the masses, therefore runs afoul of the very ideals of the Olympic Games. The Philippine team has to train in Canada. I'm OK with it as a sport, but I don't think it should be put into the Olympics.
