"In one sense, however, these Games have been an unqualified success. The Olympics have instilled a sense of pride in the Chinese people, over 80 percent of whom report that they believe the country "is on the right track." An astounding 93 percent of Chinese surveyed by the Pew Research Center thought that the Games would improve the country's image. Certainly the feel-good effect of the Olympics should not be dismissed lightly, but will the positive feeling remain as the Chinese people dig themselves out from under the $40 billion price tag?"
Yeah, sports stadiums and sports are a LOSS LEADER for communities and nations; however, they ARE a SINKHOLE for RICH LOOTERS!!!!
