Let Someone Else Pay For It
-
In light of people in Calgary voting in a plebiscite against the city making a bid for the 2026 Olympics, and the way so many cities and countries have bowed out of competition for other years' events, have we finally gotten to the point where the majority of people realize that the Olympics are, for most cities and countries, a money pit, sucking cash and resources from where they can be better spent? Because they are. And if your city doesn't have existing venues and infrastructure and wouldn't have to spend much to host the games, you probably shouldn't bid, lest you end up like Athens or Brazil. (Global News)
