Way back when, the greeks even had to temporarily stop their wars because of the Olympic Games so that they could all enjoy it. So why would we ruin it?

The greeks were damn right! The Olympic Games stand above politics, not below it. Even if you don't enjoy them, be happy about the fact that no piece conferance in the world can tie the masses together the way the Olympic Games can.

Stop ruining it. You can go protest against whatever you want but you damn well better leave the Games alone. They've done nothing to deserve this treatment.
