Look what happened in Athens.

I personally think the sports are way to out dated.

But it does invite and opportunity for the whole world to get together.

I agreed. They are a waste, with the unfortunate at the extremes.

A lot of not-so-well-off people gain pleasure from things like the FIFA world cup - in a sense games like football are their only hope at a new life.
