Also agree that if they Olympics faded into obscurity, I wouldn't miss them terribly. Admittedly, never been a fan of that "amateur" spirit they are desperately clinging to.
I do personally wish they would make permanent location for the competitions, or maybe two or three, and rotate them. What an utter waste of cash assembling grand assemblies that nobody wants afterwards. From an investment perspective, they hardly look lucrative, what with the plethora of pools and fields that are abundant in some of the other cities, and already sate the demand for said places.Ladino, Guatemalan, Hispanic, and Latin, but foremostly, Christian.

They should host them on Antarctica once in awhile, too. Presumably the Winter Games."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.
