There is a fair share of people against the Olympics and infact there is more now then ever. I know allot of people who are out allot of money and losing out on work and their not happy, lot of people are finding out right now how disrupted their life will be. Infact where I work I cant name you one person that has a positive view of the Olympics, not one, and im talking about a few hundred people. None of these people will protest because they have families to support and busy schedules, but none of them are happy.
I had a slightly positive view of the Olympics but that has now changed as I see what they are doing and thats putting thousands of people out of work with no compensations. And disrupting the lives of thousands more. Sure there are benefits in the long run but those benefits dont make up for what these middle class people are losing. Frankly I dont see why the Olympics need to be this disruptive, if they were more considerate of the people who actually live in this city then I could see a much more positive attitude towards the games.
