I remember what my Daddy told me when 9/11 happened: "Those fuckers had it coming, son. Those towers were like two big middle fingers pointed at the third world." I feel kind of the same way about the modern Olympics. It has become such a symbol of globalization. Also, as Baya has pointed out, it doesn't help the locals: http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/07/05/should-we-abolish-the-olympics/
