The Olympics are nothing more than an exercise in the crony capitalist endeavors usually touted by politicians and their corporatist hangers-on as "public/private partnerships," i.e., what in times past would gone under the heading "corruption."
If cities, states, or nations want these kinds of activities then they should be privately funded by businesses and/or by contributions from donors. That would include all professional sports teams, as well. Without subsidies in the form of taxpayer-built stadiums, these teams would not exist as they do today.
