It's a wealth transfer for the politically connected, same as anything else.
Why should we care who the fastest runner on the planet is? Or the fastest cyclist? In what way does it enhance the lives of the great majority of people?
- gumby 7y agoAlthough I don't see the point of professional sport I don't deny that some people rely like it. My point is that bidding your city to host the olympics, or other such activities, usually ends up not making anybody happy.
