Is it any surprise that the Greeks are facing one of the worlds largest financial collapses? 6 years ago when they hosted the Olympics, skeptics were already commenting on the astronomical debt that they accumulated from the games. A simple Google search directs you to multiple BBC articles from 2004 detailing the troubles ahead. Ridiculous how many countries use the games as an excuse to overspend on soon to be empty stadiums and Olympic villages. You do have to applaud Vancouver for keeping the games somewhat manageable but even ESPN had something to say about them.
Something needs to be done about the Olympics. The Olympic committee needs to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.. because honestly.. who even watches the games anymore?
