Bringing the Olympics back to Greece permanently would save other countries so much money and remove the burden of having to build a stadium only for it to rot because you'll never host the Olympics for another 30 years.

Plus, Greece wouldn't have forced us to watch a gay smurf dancing on a table like a bootleg Hindu deity and try to pass it off as Dionysus.

IKR? That was an abomination. Insults all round. the real religion being force on us here is trans man replacing women.

Co-signed! I would have called the smurf thing just one more scene from the loser’s table at the Paris, Las Vegas Adult Film Expo, but “bootleg Hindu deity” works quite well.

Makes a lotta sense! “…GDP is still comparable to the spare change found in a Cleveland payphone.” HAHAHA!!

Thank you! And it could be worse, at least it's not a Detroit payphone :D

Don't you know this is the 2020's, we should move all of this to remote work. Virtual Olympics..would save lots of money.

In all seriousness, I do not care where it is.. but Greece would be cool. It is funny (all debate aside) how they only want us focusing on climate change and not pollution. Many of these places are dirty AF.

If the summer games are destined for Greece, the winter games need a home as well. Norway? Switzerland, Iceland? Lake Tahoe on the Cali side.

What do you think?

I vote for the country with snow, ice and an active volcano.

Great ideas and great suggestions! For my money, Norway would be awesome. Zeus in the summer; Odin in the winter!

I agree. I guess the volcano can wait.

Haha I suppose given a long enough geological time scale in that general region we'll get our volcano *eventually* :D

I like this idea. Greece should always be the location of the Olympics, winter and summer.

It would end a ton of corruption by the people choosing cities and building stadiums.

Why not? Maybe we can ditch these opulent and ridicuous opening ceremonies altogether. Maybe we can have a "Typhon Takes Olympus" King of the Mountain event. I'd pay money to see that, especially if Typhon could breathe fire and was a thousand feet tall.

"I guess these dumb jocks were too busy doing push ups or jumping jacks or whatever they measure at the Olympics to make time for reading comic books like us nerds cool kids, because otherwise they’d know that not only does radiation definitely not make you sick, it actually gives you superpowers!" And THANK YOU, for saying "Zeus's." God, let's get that apostrophe-s back in there!
