Could have been Chicongo this week! Dilma/Rahm, same/same. One pack of crooks is the same as another.
Peter Uberoth showed everyone how it’s done.
If they choose to use the Montreal method...
...sucks to be them.
The host city loses lots of money. A bunch of “connected” people make LOTS of money. It’s how things go.
I only care about the opening ceremonies, and a few obscure sports like archery, and curling.
This year I want to see if all of Rio will turn into an Olympic caldron at some point.
I will always be proud of Denver for being the first city to reject an Olympic games.
I’ve long thought the games should be held at one permanent location. Such a waste of money, a new city each time...
I have not kept up with the Olympics for many years.
It has deteriorated just like everything else. If I happen to know the mens sprints and hurdles are on, I will watch that. Nothing else.
I visited the 1936 Winter Olympics facilities in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany in June this year. The Winter Olympics stadium was extremely modest by modern standards. There are high school football teams playing in nicer stadiums. Hockey and figure skating events were on a modest pond (the Riessersee).
The Olympics doesn’t need to be about prestige and money. But it is. I hate the TV coverage.
Like the NBA, MLB and the NFL, the Olympics are dead to me.
