Otherwise I can take it or leave it.
Whilst it can bring economic development, I do think that it is obscene and bloated.
The counter argument was put that Greece should have a permanent Olympic venue. Why not.

Much smaller as a world wide event, the Common Wealth Games may well have run its course due to high operating/funding/building costs - Victoria/Aus has pulled out - There has been talk of Glasgow stepping in - Without looking into it further, as it stands I don't think 2026 is going to happen - We all know what a mess Brum cancel is in - Not saying it is down to the games alone - And not all funding was required to come from Birmingham - There is talk that it actually made a profit
The games is now bigger than ever - With more and more sports, countries, competitors taking part
LA have signed up for 2028 and Brisbane for 2032
Actually, I feel a bit conspiracy-theorist about these kinds of mass razzmatazz human events - the World Cup, Christmas, Valentine's Day, summer travel, etc.. I think they serve as valuable distractions from thought and quiet contemplation. When the pandemic struck, I wondered if the biggest worry for governing bodies was less the actual health impact on populations, and more the impact on their levels of fundamental contentment with their lot in life. Constantly busy, constantly moving, and constantly entertained people have little time for critical thought about their own lives and the conditions which are dealt to them by higher authorities.
Sorry, that was just a side thought. As you were!
The cynic in me says mummy or daddy took the video and knew the full score - But Tabitha has not been selected for team GB and the family are pee'd off, hence the release of an old video
Argentina v Morocco and a football game marred by crowd trouble
The Olympics is about peace, togetherness, friendship, competition
Football doesn't need the Olympics and the Olympics doesn't need this, or football - Drop football at least in this format - Maybe bring in say Five a side and U21 only with no first team players allowed
Being entirely honest, when I meet people who actively dislike the Olympics I tend to see it as a bedsheet sized red flag in the "we've got a wrong'un here" stakes.
Must be a nightmare logistically, and will have been impossible to have rehearsed properly.
Also a lot of speculation over the performers. Lady Gaga and Celine Dion both been spotted in Paris in recent days, and Aya Nakamura seems nailed on to be in there somewhere.
You would think in this day and age we could have digital channels for Olympics, Wimbledon, Euros,etc, and not suspend all normal programming. Plenty of people who still rely on curated television and have Pointless, The One Show, etc, as part of their routines.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
