OK, as a London-loving Paris fan who likes New York (and has nothing against the other places), I'll weigh in and say I don't give an Olympic fuck where they hold the Games.

If just part of the money spent on campaigning, planning, and finally building lavish sports complexes, etc, were spread around on amateur sports facilities all over the countries concerned, that would do a lot more for sport, and public health, and society in general, than the great four-yearly dope-fest on TV that the Olympics have become.
