I don't know what to say about protesters. I guess that if the events are run in a free country, protests will come with the territory.
Nothing against the city itself but you can't say +11 plus rain is where the games should be held. Vancouver would be a better Summer games city IMO but it wouldn't sell like Hockey will.

I also don't enjoy having to pay off something for the next 40 years so we can party for two weeks.
