As has been stated the olympics are to be held in the UK and nothing is going to stop it now. I am in favour of holding it every time in Athens but if it has to be held in another country why not have it in a ****** country. That would end any threat of terrorists would it not. As for sport on the TV well I reckon that we have been conned by the networks over the years. Why spend millions on producing decent intertainment when all you have to do is set up some camera's at a sporting event and then promote it and sit back to watch the money roll in with minimal outlay. Weekend sport was supposed to be for the family man to take his kids to but now it is so expensive that it has to be watched on the box.
That's the way the mop flops.
