I'm waiting until we get the final numbers after today rather than the tweet length reactions. But in general I agree that before today there wasn't good value in hosting the Olympics and nothing that has came out has changed that. I just don't think your characterization of the people organizing the bid is fair.
I missed where the back door flames arena was eliminated as a possibility. Without that announcement before the bid this thing was dead in the water from the start.
