A lot of petty people on the 'yes' side.
Retrospective research/analysis has shown little economic or tourism benefit from hosting. I would have loved to have the Olympics, but this bid wasn't even up to those prior standards. We would be eating the costs without an appreciable upgrade in infrastructure.
And I watch the Olympics every hour I'm awake when it's on. Gotta vote with your head, not your heart.
