That tells me that they've received much more negative feedback than positive. I'm both surprised and delighted that so many people recognize that the Olympics is a bad idea if we don't get a sweetheart deal (and there's nothing to indicate Nenshi or the IOC would give us favourable terms to host).
I guess there could be a longshot idea that this is all part of a bluff to see if the IOC will come begging, but I doubt it.

It was simple to see when they didn't want to do a plebicite.
