re: #322 non obama mama

I don’t get why people don’t see the net positive for the USA and Chicago in NOT having the games.

Who needs such a money drainer?

And why should anyone be kissing the ass of the IOC, which has yet to do a proper vigil for the Israeli athletes who died in Munich/1972?

The IOC is the sporting world equivalent of the UN.

Its a question of timing. Or better said, the timing of the criticism is questionable. Who knew so many were against hosting the Olympics. Its as if they’ve been stewing all these years and just so happened to blow now. voice their long-standing objections to hosting now.
