Olympian2004 511 Report post Posted November 7, 2010 I've shown my support now, too. Great idea! Especially the quite many supporters the bid has also in the northern part of Germany already. That shows that this is really a national bid for which the traditional animosities between Bavaria and the rest of Germany have to stand back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nolympia 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 There is no reason to support Olympic games in Munich. Quite the contrary, nearly half of the german population refuse Olympic games! When the Wintergames will come to Munich, there will be huge mass-demonstation, typical for germany. The opposition is increasing day by day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citius Altius Fortius 560 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 you are still trying to create the feeling of uncertaintity after the defeat in the Nolmypia referundum in Garmisch-Partenkirchen You haven't recognised yet, that this is a forum from people who support Olympic Games in general Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nolympia 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 1. I want to prevent the IOC, not to make a big error! The surface of the Olympic Bid of Munich is very well looking, but behind it, there are a lot of huge problems. The biggest problem in my opinion is the actual change of the public meaning against Olympic games combined with the possibility of mass-demonstrations like in Stuttgart. Here f.e. an anti-games article in the former games-friendly newspaper muenchner -merkur. The number of that anti-Olympic games articles increase. 2. This "Underforum" is for olympic supporters, that's right, but the title of the forum above is: "Discuss the 2018 Winter Olympic Games bid of Munich, Germany" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gangwon 259 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 I am not a Munich supporter, but I think you should just enjoy the Games if Munich gets it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nolympia 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 For me, it'not possible to enjoy the games, because they want to build for the games right in a green park of Munich 17 huge Skyscrapers, chop 2000 trees, destroy green areas of the size of 50 soccer-fields and burn Billions of Euros (=taxes). That's too much for only 18 days sportsparty! Beside that: We just had the soccer World Cup a few years ago in Munich! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citius Altius Fortius 560 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 ..., that is exactly our different approaches - I think hosting Olympic and Paralympic Games is a lot worth - and I think the Munich bid bears a lot of enviromental issues in its mind as good as it possible! I have the impression that you are not very into Olympic or Paralympic Games in general and you don't see their positive effects on a hosting city, country and its people Furthermore the article in the Münchner Merkur isn't as negative as you trying to pretend - yes, there will be trees chopped, but it emphasises, too that many very converstation worthy saved through the plans for the Olympic Village - after all the Olympic Village will become flats for Munich after the Olympics and Paralympics...

Westfale 32 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 Thank you CAF for your statement. I would have written the same, but your English skills are better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nolympia 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 The approach to the games depends on, where your priorities are. In my case, I'm afraid of loosing the green areas in Munich in the next future. I like wintersport but it's not worth to spoil green area of 50 soccerfields in the center of Munich for Olympia 2018. The next sportevent will spoil green area too, and the next sportevent will spoil again. We have a lot sport- and other events here. What remains is grey desert of asphalt.
