I’ve been thinking a lot about the recent controversies being reported out of London. The cauldron hasn’t been lit. Nor has the first starting gun been fired. Yet already the London Organizing Committee (LOCOG) is already under heavy criticism from the media, tourists, and London’s own residents. There’s been the threat of strikes from border guards and train operators, the forecast of a very rainy and “soggy” Olympics, the G4S fiasco, and complaints from Londoners regarding logistical issues such as traffic and transportation.
