Not only are Olympics no longer the festival of human achievement but lets have commercial interest dictate when they should take place, even if it makes no sense for the host country. Perfect.
(Anyone who visited Japan at that time of year will tell you the weatjer is pretty brutal, with very high temperateure and high 90%+ humidity.)
- Ididntdothis 7y agoThe Olympics these days are mainly a moneymaker for the IOC so it makes sense that the highest paying parties will have a say.
- thelean12 7y agoWhy the negativity? Would you prefer to ignore entertainment context and only think of the weather in the host country? Commercial interest has a direct correlation to the number of people who tune in. Even if money wasn't a factor, the number of people watching should be a core metric.
