crooked accounting

Crooked accounting is what the Olympics are all about!

How much is paid for the broadcasting and media rights?

How much for Juan Antonio Samaranch & family?

Does the IOC pay for anything?

I talked to a guy who was involved with the SLC games. He said they were passing out Browning shotguns like candy when they were trying to win the games.

DFW area has a lot of stadiums and hotels, they’d need to add very little to host a summer olympics.

Winter? Don’t look at me.

Although the best bet to make a profit at the winter Olympics will be South Korea in 2018, if they can’t do it nobody could. lol

I was going to post the same idea regarding permanent venues. Put the winter games in Svalbard, Norway and the Summer games in Greece. Same place every time.
