Default Re: Olympics....in general.

I agree, i'm sure there's a lot of money coming in from the olympics. On the other hand, I did hear them talking about how there were not people in the stands to actually watch the olympics. At least not as many as there usually is. So that could be a set back (probably not a major one).

Does anyone know if the host country makes any money from the network covering the olympics?

As for what they'll do with the building afterwards. I would imagine that now that they have those buildings they'll be more likely to be in the run to host more international events. That's what I imagine is part of the goal.

It's another night in hell, Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well, Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen
