I sit here in utter disbelief this morning as I read that Toronto could make a bid for the 2015 Pan Am Games.

Who the hell cares about the Pan Am games, and what makes anybody think the city in its current state could even begin to organize something like the Pan American Games.

I was against the Olympics coming here for all the obvious reasons, and I’m even more against something as pointless as the Pan Am games.

Can you image the current city council, which still has three years to run on a current mandate, having anything to do with putting this together? They can’t even pose for a goddamn picture let alone handle millions of taxpayer’s dollars that will probably get sucked down the shit hole.

It’s the exception to the rule to make money off these sporting events. They usually leave the host city licking its wounds as they count their losses while blurting bullshit about how wonderful it was to have the eyes of the world focused on us for two weeks.

Forget it.

The Pan American Games? Instead of looking for ways to host the Pan Am games, the country should be looking for ways to back out of the Beijing Games.
