Olympics Bankruptcy

YES!  I've been a fan of this idea for a long, long time:


It’s time for a radical change in the way the Olympic world picks its host cities.

It’s time for the sports world to tell the International Olympic Committee that it can no longer bankrupt cities in the name of hosting the Olympics.

It’s time for a rotation of cities that have already successfully put on the Olympics and have venues already in place to host the Winter and Summer Games, with a new site thrown in every fourth Olympiad.

An Olympic Games begins in celebration and often ends in frustration, disorganization and red ink. Cities, even countries, are plunged into debt. White elephants dot the landscape as once-glistening venues fall into weed-infested disrepair. 


It's stunning stupidity to spend millions and millions and millions on stadiums, venues, tracks, pools and gymnasiums and then seen those facilities vandalized, vacated, torn down, etc.
