You actually didn't spell it out. You said it was an opinion piece, not an informational article.
If anything it sums up the information provided to council and provides an opinion on that.
The only person who has actually responded to why it is an opinio piece is GGG:
I have issues with his statements and whether or not they would appear slanted to one side (for instance, focusing on the pieces of infrastructure into included isn't a slant if that was the general expectation many of us have on what the Olympics would do for the city)
You're argument is the title is slanted - which is fine, but usually writers don't make the title.
In terms of the slant in general, of course the article is talking about all the issues with funding, cost, benefits etc. but why does that mean it should be ignored outright? because you disagree with the premise.

By definition, opinion pieces are
slanted to sway the reader to agree with the opinion of the writer. It's extremely self explanatory, even for someone with poor reading comprehension such as yourself.
You'd be a fool to base your opinion on what is a biased summary of a report that will be hundreds of pages in length.
