and yes i think he does have a point. it's a huge waste of money...so far removed from the original idea of the Olympics.
Nobody i know watches it...and the bits i see just baffle me.
As james says...it's natural to want to celebrate...but surely they could find another way...that's a darn sight cheaper and that doesn't go on for hours!!!
The modern Olympic Games are an obscene waste of money and a travesty of the Olympic ideal. Cut out all the nonsense of nations competing to "win" the games (with all the attendant backhanders) and run an all-amateur games restricted to the original track and field events within a permanent stadium in Greece.
But one moment, there wouldn't be opportunities for infrastructure companies to bleed us dry by building "olympic villages". And what would the "great and good" do with all the time they spend swanning around at public expense? Cynical? You bet!!!
