How Denver has not hosted a Winter Olympics boggles me

But there is such an anti olympic sentiment among most people now, the dont want the money wasted for their city to host it.

Not to mention it makes the city almost unliveable for the 2 weeks its in town.

The US has probably the best infrastructure for sports yet we could go over two decades without an Olympics. Simply amazing.

Hosting an Olympics has become too counterproductive. Nobody wants a bunch of white elephants.

Atlanta was fine. Not unliveable at all.

Denver originally won the bid for the 1976 Games but voters killed it in a referendum.
