London OlympicsA waste of fucking money only of interest to the rich, poncey twats that supported the application. The same twats who think that selling off school sports grounds and destroying playing fields to build houses on is a 'Good Thing'(tm).
We could have used that £10billion for something much more worthwhile, but then the money couldn't be siphoned off via tax havens to enrich the rich, poncey twats even more. e.g. selling off the 'Olympic village' below cost. So much for a lasting legacy.
Letting junk food provenders sponsor the games? What? Are the athletes going to be sustained on fizzy pop and grease burgers? But I guess it's OK to promote obesity etc so long as you are raking it in. Hypocritical fuckers.
And football an Olympic sport? With the likes of Giggs playing? 1) Football is a shit game of which we have too much already. 2) Giggs et al should be barred from the games for being professionals.
Seriously. Fuck the games.

I don't hate football, don't like it either.The fact that the teams are made up of mostly people who could barely point out the city on a map before they play for them. Kissing the badge and then moving months later. The massive money market that is the transfer system, Russian oligarchs, US speculators etc. Ripping off people by changing the strip all the time so kids use pester power to extract more cash etc etc.

Football has been part of the Olympics for a long timeBut this is the first time Great Britain has entered a team. This is why it appears like a new sport for the games. The media ignored it until we entered.
