“Massachusetts just can’t do this kind of thing,” said one major Democratic officeholder who requested anonymity. “I’d say we’re more corrupt than a banana republic, but that wouldn’t be fair to the Third World.”
HAH!
Bostonians threw billions into a Big Dig (big hole in the ground)
I think they’d be PERFECT to host the Olympics.
Massholes.
Well if Assachusetts is going to keep electing children into office which they seem to have been doing since the early 1960s, then I would say forget the Olympics. If not then go for it, but let’s remember that Boston was attacked by terrorists and the drones in Assachusetts once again voted for the Treason party.
Cities should be able to compete for individual events. Skating events in one city, skiing events in another etc. Cities wouldn’t have to lay out billions for Olympic facilities that would then fall into disrepair.
I hate to say it but maybe the time to stop running the Olympics is here. If it can’t be held without bankrupting everyone involved then maybe it’s not worth doing.
The main problem is host cities are required to upgrade public infrastructure, build new stadiums and facilities and undertake a massive amount of preparatory and organizational work.
All of that is expensive and few host cities will make money off the Olympics. The IOC has priced the Games out of the marketplace.
I imagine there are people on the IOC (which actually makes the selection) who can read English.
Brisbane, here we come!
