Peter Uberoth showed everyone how it’s done.

If they choose to use the Montreal method...

...sucks to be them.

Uberroth got a break, because in 1984 security costs were only a few hundred million, a fraction of total costs.

Now, security runs over $2 billion each Games (getting closer to 3), and unlike spending on facilities - where at least you got something to keep & use after the games - you never get any of that back.

And guess who gets to pick up the tab for this expensive 2-week elitist party? The poor taxpayers in whatever city is stupid enough to get stuck with it. Oh, but they get to boast that their city is now “world-class”!

Olympics are a ripoff.
