Well, we all know that had to be the case. I mean, anytime the Jets are trying to get a stadium built that was a huge albatross as a front for the Olympics..and the Brooklyn arena was also part of this swindle...I just can't believe the New York politicians though this thing was going to have legs.
I mean, sentimentally you say "Olympics good" maybe...but the truth is, New York is on the world stage all the time. It doesn't really
need the Olympics games to do that.
