        @andrewrsorkin Short term losses, yes. But millions of future travelers may visit. Infrastructure is fixed or built. Other wins.

        I'd bitterly oppose #NewOrleans being host to the corrupt games for that reason; don't have $ to lose - WCQ is different matter

        They need to take the opportunity to incorporate all those new buildings and infrastructure for future growth of host cities.

        @andrewrsorkin depends on how you define profit. An infrastructure to use for decades to come is somewhat profit too.

        Only profitable for those sweet deals to build structures that will be abandoned and never used again. Fleecing taxpayers.

        kickbacks and bribes take a larger cut nowadays than in 84 to get it in a city.

        @andrewrsorkin It's far more than just the profit; the legacy left on the city is far more valuable. I always loved to play sport.
