Why Hosting The Olympics Isn’t Worth It Anymore
10 reasons why no one wants to host the Olympic games anymore.

They’re the pride of hundreds of countries, and the joy of billions of viewers. The Olympics are the best athletic events in international competition, and even the most indifferent sports-viewer is compelled to pay attention – at least a little. Even if one refuses to watch, they would be reluctant to besmirch the Olympics on purely diplomatic grounds. Because hating the Olympics is hating positive global relations, for which the world is desperate. Often the only reconciliation between feuding countries happens at the Olympics, so who would want to criticize such a positive institution of friendly competition? We will. It’s not the Olympics we have a problem with, but the hosting. It’s become clear that host cities can’t provide or sustain the requirements for Olympic competition, and instead of improving the cities’ circumstances, the Olympics tend to leave them worse off than before. Though for two weeks the lucky cities’ are at the top of the world, the residual debt kicks them to the curb. The Olympics run through cities like a gold-digging girlfriend. So, we reasonably ask, should cities continue to bid for Olympic hosting “privileges”? Will all variables considered, we don’t think it’s worth it.
Did you guys remove a video that was posted today. It was something about a US athlete in the Olympics
The Olympics are boring tbh..
134th person to comment and I think the Olympics isn't that great if people are going to be cheating in it
I would hate if the Olympics we're in Chicago..it would be a pain for me to go anywhere
You want a party and don't have a house? I could build you one on my property?
No I'm happy to pay for you, just be a spectacle?
Well just turn up then?
Of course they'll be no poor people ruining your view, you'll find sufficient condoms too?
Thank you so much for sensibly picking our location, we are truly blessed!
And they look down on esports pfft.
London 2012 did ok, most of their venues are still in use today.
Whichever the cities has a stadium for them, instead of destroying the environment, use the stadiums that already hosted before, that is what I say.
Why not have every country competing in the games have to pay. Not a fair split because countries that have to trace to get to the games would be technically renting in a way. But they should chip in some money
I just subscribed but I'm looking forward to this channel!
I'm in Vancouver Canada where the hell the 2010 games and our city still uses the venues
Love you guys my phone has the richest written all over
its only paper, who cares. were humans, just do it
The 2002 Winter Olympics were in my states capital Salt Lake City, and the venues are still up and are still being used! It was amazing to be able to see our capital taken over with huge banners, people from around the world, etc! And the over passes still have all the beautiful drawings and other things! Such a proud time, especially with me marrying my amazing and incredible husband!
i jerked off last night and let me tell you
its healthy

can we just have the olympics in one city every 4 years so they don't have ro waste monet
many Olympic buildings are still in use, the thing you need to do is put them in a area they will be used. for example the Stadium Britain build for the Olympics was easily retrofitted for Football and made the city more money
I may be biased due to this is the city I was born and raised in, but London 2012 was one of the best Olympics hands down.

They should just build an island and host it there everytime no matter what….or, my favorite idea is to just do away with that boring ass shit
Why not use one place or olympic city
100% agree. The Olympics just lost their way.
the Sochi Olympics cost so much because of illegal activities in costs of building and materials so certain companies could make a shit ton of money by charging way more than it really should have
at least u could possibly use some of those creepy ass buildings in horror movies or something
Hosting the Olympics is great, for certain cities. Take Salt Lake City in 2002 for instance. They were very smart. Most of the needed infrastructure to host the Winter Olympics was already in place. They had an existing stadium already in place to host opening/closing ceremonies, it was football stadium on the campus of a university. After the games it still had that use. Most of the skiing/snowboarding events were no problem because of all the ski resorts the city already had. Salt Lake City had build very few venues for the games and found a use for most of them after the games. The city was able to benefit from the influx of tourists. I know that's a city that would love to host again.
The problem recently has been the IOC picking cities that probably weren't as ready to host the games.
No wonder why USA is in dept
Nobody watches tv anymore or cares about sports… All the best places already hosted and the athletes are a disgrace who only go there to get laid.
Fuck humans and fuck the god damn Olympics
This video is freakin amazing
The Olympics are pointless all this just for 2 weeks ! What a waste of money
Our Atlanta games were turned into a joke and it still has impacts on our traffic and other things
Sydney's Olympic Park is still going strong.
I wasn’t born with the Olympics were held in Atlanta…
Wow
us aussies used common sense and used venues we already have 🙂
We've got the money for the military. We've got the money for big pharmaceutical companies. We have the money to fly out into space. We've got the money to build the Olympic games. Though when it comes to the people who are starving on the side of the road we don't have the money. When it comes to people who can't afford to have insurance we can't help them. And with our nation in trillions of dollars in debt nobody is concerned about that but if you owe the government 10 dollars they try to take your house just to set an example. This video is a perfect example of what our nation is most concerned about – exterior. They would rather build exhibits and put themselves into debt rather than saving the lives of millions of Americans.
