Smart. There have been plenty of stories over the years about how the Olympics are a white elephant prestige event that never provides anywhere near positive returns on the investment.
Not to mention the need to bribe the IOC with hookers ...
Probably no money left since what they have is going to take care of refugees.
The committee claims it will cost $8 billion to hosts the games. Given past experience the real costs would have been double or triple that.
As a bonus Greece's economy could use the tourism boost.
Just hold it in one place.
Why is that a terrible idea? Build all of the infrastructure in one go and update it as needed for far less.
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! ;)
A yes answer might have been easier to come by if the Big Government German officials hadn’t started forcing a million undercover terrorists into the country.
The German people may be kind of slow on the uptake here, but they aren’t totally stupid.
That phrase could be referring to Yeb! and the RNC.
How dare the Hoi Polloi have independent thought.
Another example demonstrating the [ruling] mind set of "officials".
Only “officials” would be in shocked that citizens are not interested in hosting the nightmare that is the Olympics in their city.
Who needs the over budget expense
traffic
garbage
crowded streets
potential threats
and abandoned buildings/small cities when the Olympics leaves?
The Olympics has jumped the shark!
