But just think how much more modern slavery, worker deaths and human rights abuses could be committed in the build up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the main issue for me. Countries that rely on slave labour shouldn't even be considered for prestige events like the Olympics or World Cup.

Yeah I wasn't shocked by them getting the world cup given the state Fifa was/is in but the Olympics should be nowhere near them. Quick read speculates Queensland, joint North/South Korea and India as other bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
