This article is about how the Olympics are not economically friendly to the host country. There is a non-trivial cost of bidding for the games which can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Then the cities must begin to market, plan, and create drawings for the games. Most cities are required to construct a minimum amount of facilities to host some of the events. ]]> 2018-02-27 02:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cjohnson181/lnch3rq169f2/wish/235704463 cjohnson181 https://padlet.com/cjohnson181/lnch3rq169f2/wish/235709717 https://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/magazine/does-hosting-the-olympics-actually-pay-off.html

The New York Times also evaluated the economics of how countries that host the Olympics also host the World Cup. For example, Brazil hosted the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup. The Arena Amazonia cost the country $300 million. The arena was built in a town where the home soccer team had barely 2,000 fans per game. ]]> 2018-02-27 02:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cjohnson181/lnch3rq169f2/wish/235709717 cjohnson181 https://padlet.com/cjohnson181/lnch3rq169f2/wish/235712586 https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/economics-hosting-olympic-games

The cost of the Olympics has been a manageable burden for most host cities but that is because the countries in Europe or the United States, were well developed. Recently, countries have expected to make a profit off of the Olympics because there are television broadcasting deals that can bring in millions of dollars. Most countries before television did not expect to bring in a lot of money or even make a profit at all. ]]> 2018-02-27 02:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cjohnson181/lnch3rq169f2/wish/235712586 cjohnson181 https://padlet.com/cjohnson181/lnch3rq169f2/wish/235715956 https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/streaker-winter-olympics-speed-skating_us_5a912692e4b01e9e56bc0ab4
