He referred to the Olympics as a "no margin" business.

Well, maybe he shouldn't have bid $200 million more than he had to then. Or maybe he should lose his job if he was the one responsible.

Or maybe that's a $200 million write-off and taxpayers are paying part of the debit.

I'm not sure I'd believe anything said by anyone in the entertainment business about losses.
