I also wonder why Olympics aren't held in Greece permanently.

The whimsical side of me calls for the erecting of obstacle courses in the path of the invaders, I mean, refugees. Just imagine, the long jump [over a trench full of pig guts], the electric fence pole vault [100,000 volts], mud wrestling [in quicksand], relay races across the 100 yard target shooting event. Fun for the whole family, and think of the ticket revenues! ;)

Good idea re: Greece; though I can’t see why each continent cannot have ONE local, whomever wishes to compete pays for building/upkeep (the U.S., of course, would REQUIRE voluntary contributions...I see no authority for taxpayer $$).

Least then, there’s a limited, rotating host site. Not sure how that’d work out for the Winter Olympics though...

I’ll gladly volunteer for the bacon eating event!
