Some things are such bad ideas, I don't know how they even come to fruition.
File this one under "what are they thinking?"
This one's a stinker.
There is going to be a decision made sometime in December as to wheather or not Munich will put itself forward as a candidate city for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. Local officials have already put up a high six-figure amount of money to study the feasbility of such a bid. It's roughly the equivelent of USD $700,000.
The German NOC must have a really short memory as to what happened when their country last hosted the Olympics.
This is really a sore point with me. As someone who knew one of the relatives who's cousin was murdered, I find it highly offensive that the German NOC can just go on it's merry way and act as if nothing has happened. They haven't cleaned up the mess from 1972 and in no way, shape or form even deserve to bid for ANY Olympics, Winter, Summer or Youth.
Germany needs to come clean about what really happened that fateful day. And just who else was involved besides Arafat's robbing crew. He had help, and he wasn't alone.
I've lived with this story for 35 years. Eaten, breathed, watched. If something was written about Munich, chances are I've read it. This time, it's personal.
Germany, you can run, but this time you won't be able to hide.
I guarentee it.
