| Are the Olympics even relevant anymore? When I was a kid, I can remember people getting excited about the Olympics. People would sit glued to their TV screens, it would be a big deal. Now it just seems meh, like people have more pressing things to worry about. The story seems the same for every country that hosts it: - Yay we got the Olympics! - <insert controversy here> - Oh no! They most certainly AREN'T going to be ready for the Olympics! - <insert controversy here> - <insert sudden turnaround here> - These Olympics were a fantastic success! - <insert years of debt here> It's a shame too. Maybe having them in one place would take away a lot of the distraction. |
