If there were zero problems at previous Olympics, I would understand the sentiment. But I just can't buy into the negativity and I truly believe a lot has to do with the fact that it is 2010 and the amount of media, blogging and other methods is unprecedented. An Olympics has never been covered like these and naturally will be the most scrutinized. The two go hand in hand.
And all you CP haters of the games should get off your ass and come to Vancouver and tell me that these games suck. The atmosphere will be the legacy of these games in this city. Maybe not worldwide, but the locals are for the most part extremely happy! And this is coming from a guy who NEVER wanted them in the first place. Up until 2 weeks ago, I was loathing them, but I have since bought in.
