> society is zero sum games

so do you believe the olympics are good or bad? because they're zero sum.

Not OP, but they're clearly a net loss. I would vote against them being hosted in my country.

The current hyper capitalized form of the Olympics may have been demonstrated to be economically harmful to the city that hosts it, but the Olympics have had huge societal value and impact especially in sociological aspects. I mean it's hard to put a price tag on Jesse Owens spitting directly into the eye of white supremacy but it certainly has value.

>>chii+(OP)
Every zero sum game has some side effects people try to focus on.. When I look at the number of children who have been abused for the Olympics, I think there are better ways to have an international convention and to push a healthier level of fitness.
