The massive spending projects that only hurt the taxpayers and locals needs to end.

Cities/States/Nations are free to turn it down.

I believe Denver, CO is thus far the only city to be awarded the games and then turn it down.

I want to at least wait til they include Billiards.Every other sport or activity is an Olympic event now.

It wouldn't bother me.I need reminding that the Olympic Games are coming up or I wouldn't notice.

So far, it's fricked Rio and it did a hell of a job fricking Greece's economy, not like they weren't doing other things to screw it up.


Yeah.....I was about to say, I lived in Greece during the run-up to the 04 Games (csb), and that country was headed towards financial ruin whether they hosted the games or not
