Official 2014 Putin Olympics Discussion

The most potentially horrifying Olympics since '72!

- Games that cost 20 billion dollars, ten times more than the average game
- Bunch of dead workers
- Potential Ukrainian civil war on the left
- Tschechen terrorists on the right
- Horrific accomodations (http://deadspin.com/staying-in-sochi-is-a-hilarious-adventure-1515722114)
- Terrible infrastructure
- Athletes getting death threats
- And last, but certainly not least, no gay... propaganda... stuff (law is too vague???)

But remember, participating is more important than human rights winning.

I've been pretty surprised by Russia, I thought they'd come further away from the 1930s than they clearly have.

I forgot to mention Russia expanding their territory and putting tanks in Georgia and the resulting Georgian terrorists... also in the east.

Also the games cost 50 billion, not 20 billion.

I find it funny that the thing journalists are choosing to get up in arms about are the accommodations.

Oh well, it'll probably be better than Brazil anyway.

there should be a "In Russia, blablabla" in here somewhere.

Do you mean Soviet Russia reversals?

yes.

They had to drug that bear for him to show up.

This is what $50 billion looks like:

I'm very disappointed that the bear wasn't real and Putin wasn't riding it.

A friend of mine from school is in the men's moguls finals, you should all be supporting Australia.

Too bad for your friend.

Britain got a bronze in snowboarding and you'd think it was the first time we'd ever won anything (not that a bronze counts as winning). Apparently it's the only medal we've ever got in a snow event.
