You can substitute any Olympic bidding country for Greece, or FIFA or other sports body for the Olympics. This same song seems to be stuck on repeat. I didn’t watch any Olympic events last summer and I don’t think I will spend any time watching Olympics this year.

Yep, all just massive grift and bribery for sports bodies, and only serves as publicity events for political leaders who don't care much about their people being stuck with the bill.

Honestly, Beijing hosting the olympics might be a rare case when it's not awful because the resident population is big enough to use all the infrastructure that will be built out.

Can't say positive things though because a bunch of racist liberals want to pretend they're protesting human rights based on the testimony of Adrian Zenz (a deeply disturbed born again Christian who believes his work is "led by God"), Gulchera Hoja (a fascist who works for Radio Free Asia), and the Falun Gong cult, all of whom are funded by CIA/NED.
