I would be all on board for an Olympics bid, infrastructure, costs, the mayhem around Calgary, etc. all included. But I can't get past the shadiness of the IOC. There are the brib.. err incentives from the bidding process, to the winning city paying quite a bit to host IOC members and their families during the games, everything paid for, tickets to all events, etc. One of their senior members was arrested the other day in his bath robe for scalping high value tickets. I'd rather we not spend any money on them
