To a logical person this makes the most sense to host a sporting event like that.
But what you're not understanding is it's not a sporting event, it's a grift. And hosting it in one place doesn't benefit the Olympic committee at all. Why would you host something in one space and be responsible for it when you can have cities beg and throw money at you to host in their city then leave and make them deal with cleaning it up after.
- pg_bot 4y agoNo, I understand that. It's just that even countries that are despotic are no longer bidding for the Olympics. I think if 5-10 major countries are willing to collude they could tip the scales in their favor. Say France, USA, Japan, Brazil, and Australia want to host the summer Olympics and Canada, Norway, Austria, Italy, and the USA want to host the winter Olympics for the next 100 years and will not bid against one another, who else is going to host the games? Countries are already withdrawing their bids. Brisbane was the only city vying for the games in 2032.
