The Olympics is a huge financial drain for any country that hosts it
Los Angeles has made money on the last two times it hosted the Olympics and will probably make money on the third.
Would love to see anything that supports your assertion
It doesn't generally benefit the community
July 16 (Reuters) - The United States is at risk of losing both the 2028 Summer and 2034 Winter Olympics if American law enforcement over reaches in its investigation of Chinese swimmers, said former senior International Olympic Committee (IOC) member Dick Pound.
Hee hee hee.
Giggity
Ok after reading your comment just going to put a comment that probably everyone was thinking after they read it. Dick Pound lol there is a joke to be made there.
That's fine the Olympics are terrible for people, the economy, and the environment anyway.
the one good thing that could've come out of this one was that they fix the paris sewers so the seine isnt an open sewer. but no, not even that.
I always like the premise of Olympics improving public infrastructure: "Yeah we had the money to do this all along but we couldn't be arsed, but now that we're going to host a big TV thing we'll get it done."
The only olympics I have watched and don't know when is when me and a bunch of friends got shitface at a bar and were taking bets on the slow walking sport....may not be called it but I won. Have never watched anything else besides that and plus the Olympics do more damage to society and environment than what they are worth. Even tv networks who sign contracts to televise it always bitch about losing money about a couple weeks after it is over. And they will do it again this year.
Don't threaten us with a good time!
These guys will be thrilled: https://nolympicsla.com/
