Olympics
Should the U.S. government or any government for that matter, fund the Olympics?
Although I enjoy watching the Olympics every two years (both summer and winter), I recognize that it serves nothing more than pitting Nations and their temporarily nationalized [patriotized] citizens at odds against their fellow global neighbors. The Olympics have never served their purpose of bringing the world together.
Wall Street Journal's Kyle Smith proposes we should end the Olympics all together.
Here's a little info about the Host City and Federal Funds for the Olympics in American cities.
A GAO report on the Funding.
A History of the Olympic games from Athens.
A propsal to stop the Olympics completely!
