The Olympics are profitable for every host city (that lies about the numbers)

Yeah, in its current incarnation. I don’t watch. It’s so off-the-charts, overproduced and commercial, it’s like watching someone binge on butter. Nom-nom-nom, down the hatch, one stick after another. I’d favor a back-to-the-athletics movement, using existing venues only.

Harry Shearer’s podcast does a good job taking the piss out of them every week or so. “The Olympics! It’s a movement, and we all need one … every day!”
