my unpopular opinion is that they are a waste of time and effort.

    Hmm, an interesting take. The Olympics, being an international multinational event, being in a singular location could cause political tension between countries. It would have to be on neutral land for such a thing to work. Maybe some of that unclaimed land In Africa?

      That would mean a private company becoming the owner of land that isn’t part of a country, would be kind of weird wouldn’t it?

      They’re already registered in Switzerland so let them deal with it, countries should refuse to host them considering the cost and the fact that there’s no return on investment in the end.

        I mean that could work from my American perspective, I’m unsure about other parts of the world. Perhaps we shouldn’t care about those sort of silly high school level drama between nations? I don’t think I have enough understanding to know. But Switzerland is pretty so I’m down with it.
