cancel the friggin' olympics
 

they're over - the Olympics jumped the shark decades ago, nobody really cares about them and they are now a political powder keg. it's also obscene the money countries waste hosting them - does anybody think about Athens better today because they hosted an Olympics? Sydney? Los Angeles? I had to go to Google to even remember that Athens had them 4 years ago.

keep the Winter Olympics - they're peaceful and only the nice countries are involved in those.

I could not disagree more, but carry on.

Let's see what others say.

I think picking china they must of had rocks in their heads.

they are smoking crack

yeah who were the smart people who said...hey! lets do it there!

$$$$$$$$$$$

Olympics is meant to be about sports!

Athletes showing off their talent. Entertainment for the public.

I don't understand why all these morons make it a political!

There won't be an Olympics. I think John Titor said so.

The Olympics have been political for decades. And I also didn't remember they were in Greece four years ago probably because I didn't watch one minute of coverage. I agree with Mutt, dump the Olympics... and let's have the World Cup every two years instead.

The Olympics lost credibility when the started allowing professional athletes to partake...
Tennis and basketball are 2 examples.

Or maybe they are really smart and knew that it would give them a shitload of media attention. Not many people watched the last Olympics, I bet a hell of a lot more will be watching this year.
