It seems like a lot of money for a two week party.

not if you've ever had the dream to go and talent and ability to compete in the olympics it's not.
I bet you were never a jock, probally bullied and picked on in school by jocks, never pysically able to do many things a lot of kids in school were doing, liked a girl who you didn't get because she liked jocks. Sorry about your sour grapes and sorry life.

It is not a 2 week "party" - it is when the world's best come together to compete, modeled on a thousand-year-old tradition. It is less of a deal now than when I was a kid. It used to be that many athletes had the Olympics as their main dream. Nowadays, more people do their sport for the sake of having fun and fitness and doing local competition, and don't aspire to the Olympics.

I would think that spending the money on a positive, world-uniting event is a good thing. There are so many other things that our world thinks is important that shouldn't be. It also promotes real role models. I don't know if I am getting my point across....it is after midnight, so forgive me. Anyway, I'm pro-Olympics.

Bravo Jack!
I believe that the world-uniting ability of the event makes it worth the money. Role models are very important to our youth. Especially role models with active lifestyles and goals that aren't solely about money. The money is going to be spent anyway, it's better that it's spent on something positive.
