2012 Olympics – disaster year or national pride?
With Olympic tickets going on sale this week TellYouGov users have been making their views heard and the Olympics continues to demonstrate its ability to divide opinion.
The majority of people have been expressing negative opinions with the overall ‘score’ for ‘2012 Olympics’ registering a drop of 62 in its score over the past 48 hours. Concerns have centred on the cost of hosting the games in the UK, with one user commenting ‘What the bankers missed in bankrupting the country, the Olympics will certainly finish the job’, as well as the cost of tickets.
A number of people have also been questioning the UK’s ability to actually host the games with one user commenting ‘can’t even get the time right … god help us’ in reference to the countdown clock disater in Trafalgar Square!
However, another user’s post, that ‘Most countries (would be) proud to hold (the Olympics) in their country. Not sad old Britain-When did we stop taking a pride in our country and its many achievements?’ demonstrates a strong reaction to the doom and gloom and highlights the views of many other TellYouGov users who are excited and proud about the opportunity the UK has to host this international event.
