olympics considered harmful. when will the world realize that these 'olympic sprints' to meet goofy expectations for the IOC are ridiculous and damaging on the long term? seriously. almost every visited city is worse-off for years after the games; it's only ever accommodated because of the accompanying rockstar status and the money injection for the in-seat politicians, almost none of which actually sticks around to provide improvements for the city or its' people. it's a gross abuse, it results in gross abuses towards the people, and it fucks up a city for years . Example : What did Rio's new anti-poverty highway walls enable for locals? How did the promised lagoon clean-up go?

How much worse does traffic get in the interim for those living here? Who's going to care enough to listen to complaints during the olympic-cash-season?
