I would adamantly protest any attempt by Detroit to host the Olympics. Dumping tens of billions of dollars into something that LITERALLY gives you nothing in return except 2 weeks of pride and panoramic aircraft pictures is the biggest crock of shit ever. Boston is obviously a smart city for looking at the financial picture and backing out.

Oh wait, I forgot, you also get hulking empty stadiums that generate no revenue and abandoned sporting venues that start looking like the east side of Detroit. How about putting the billions spent on the Olympics and updating our shit infrastructure, failing school system, or tearing down every vacant building in the city? Don't those sound like better ways to spend cash?
