Quote:Jets got smart and jumped on the Olympic bandwagon, something Bloomberg cares about.
For what ever little chance that NY has of getting the Olympics here, that wont happen until 2010 the earliest.
I was reading a book today, discussing how much the world wastes. All of these cities that have World's Fairs and host Olympic games, they build these huge stadia, and then they sit around unused after the games are done, because none of the cities can possibly attract that many people ever again. They cited Lake Placid, for example, and how there are just these winter sports venues that go unused. This is why only real cities that have real interest in sports should host the Olympics, because no one else in the world cares about sports, or could possibly use these new buildings. Cities like Hong Kong, London, Paris, Tokyo, LA, NY, Chicago, Madrid, those are the cities that should host Olympics. Fuck doing it in places like Berlin, Seoul, Athens, and third world countries, like SAREJEVO! WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING? These people have been killing each other for the past century, but let's give them some stadiums, and they'll unite on the footbal field. Hosting any large world event in a third world country is the most wasteful bullshit ever, and the only use stadiums will go to is piling up their dead.
