Seeing what Cox and officials agreed to in order to get games is disgraceful.

I haven't been excited about the Olympics anyway, but after reading about all the details and sliminess, there is absolutely no way I can support this.

For those who hadn't seen, they agreed to pressure the FBI to drop an investigation against Chinese swimmers or else the IOC will retract their offer:

As expected, Salt Lake City will be an Olympics host again after the IOC formally awarded the 2034 Winter Games to the United States bid.

Not surprised... it doesn't work for most cities. But it's great for SLC

They are not asking to build everything new... the exact opposite actually.
