Over the past few years we’ve written about why hosting another Olympics may not be a good idea. We cited an Outside magazine article that referenced the Olympic’s environmental damage, cost overruns, and money spent that could be used for other purposes. We’ve talked about Denver and why it rejected the games over traffic congestion …
