Correct. I don't watch the Games. I couldn't care less about what happens there, but I'd be pissed if the country I live in decided to organize it.
It's a pure waste of money. It took the people of Montreal 30 years to pay off the debt from the 1976 Games. The 2004 Games in Athens seriously worsened Greece's financial and economic situation. Beijing displaced 1.5 million people to host the 2008 Games. All for some mega vanity project.
