That’s fine the Olympics are terrible for people, the economy, and the environment anyway.

the one good thing that could’ve come out of this one was that they fix the paris sewers so the seine isnt an open sewer. but no, not even that.

I always like the premise of Olympics improving public infrastructure: “Yeah we had the money to do this all along but we couldn’t be arsed, but now that we’re going to host a big TV thing we’ll get it done.”

The only olympics I have watched and don’t know when is when me and a bunch of friends got shitface at a bar and were taking bets on the slow walking sport…may not be called it but I won. Have never watched anything else besides that and plus the Olympics do more damage to society and environment than what they are worth. Even tv networks who sign contracts to televise it always bitch about losing money about a couple weeks after it is over. And they will do it again this year.
