A real flame, but not one ignited by the sun in Greece. (Or wherever it is started)

What reason would they have for protesting the Olympics?

The Olympic flame relay is a tradition started by the Nazis during the 1936 olympic games, the protest was to show dissatisfaction with keeping the tradition alive.

These days, I doubt anyone makes the same connection.

Sounds like the one actually not fucked up thing the Nazis started. Should we stop doing fun, harmless things just because a Nazi did them too?
