Hopefully, the games will surpass the problems and bad press they've had in the last few weeks.

Answer 8

Its a shame that the problems of India hosting Commonwealth games are getting so much attention in the press when just 3 months ago, South Africa hosted the world cup, having diverted billions of dollars, from helping those desperately in need, in hospitals, to build big hotels and big stadiums for all the footballers. Many sick people and children have died and will continue to die because of this. This is to say nothing of the thousands of innocent people that were kicked out of their basic shanty town homes by force so that rich tourists wouldnt see what shanty towns look like.

And to top it all off, the man responsible for much of this Sepp Blatter wants a Nobel peace prize for it. If they give it to him i might just start my own non governmental underground organisation.
