The Olympics arn't held just for profit. They are a chance for the nations of the world to compeat and show thier pride. As for afordability I have been watching the olympics for 30 years now and it has only cost me cable fees which I pay anyway.
The competition of holding the games is bigger than the games themselves is just proof that it is benificial to a city.
Some people here would say the money spent would be better put to use Feeding the Poor but Ask yourselves What kind of Guitar you play Or Car you drive and tell me you have spent that kind of money on charity ( a better use of your money)
It's very Fashonable to say that the government blows money That can be put to better use And often true but are we following the same standards that we expect from them?
