[ Read Responses | Post a New Response | Return to the Index ] Posted by Peter Rosa on Wed May 19 10:07:15 2004, in response to Re: Olympics (was Re: Times Square), What bothers me about New York's bid is that some of its advocates (though not all) have been raising the recovery-from-9/11 issue, saying that since the city suffered so terribly back then it deserves the Games more than the other candidates. Begging for the Olympian equivalent of a pity f*** is both demeaning and not likely to be effective. Sure, the 2012 Games would be terrific - especially if they are a way of getting the 7 extended - but not at the price of the city's dignity. Responses
