Give it to some poverty-stricken area, that can easily default once the "Olympic Committee" (thieves that they are) screws the place blue and extracts all their bribes.

Fuck the Olympics! Hold it in GREECE every year--at least the summer games. They could use the money, and it's their damned idea!

We could build beautiful, permanent facilities there--it's silly to try and gild the lily.

If they HAD to get "diverse" then pick one or two sports to be given "the treatment" elsewhere. Every Olympics, they could pick a separate country for two or three sports, and leave the rest where they belong--in GREECE, where the damn concept began.


It's just so RIDICULOUS!!
