Sponsorship down, ratings down, fewer and fewer cities bidding for a multi billion dollar event. Thank god Toronto staffers have regained some sanity and stopped bidding. Will there be a day without Olympics or will we have a scaled down version at a permanent sire perhaps? Because of the time difference and NHL players staying home, this is the least interesting games in recent memory for me. Great that Canada is doing well, but our claim to fame is winning all of the goofy, made-up sports.
