The answer my friend is blowing in the wind....

Canceling the Olympics...

Is there any chance in the world that the Olympics would be canceled either because of too many protests/riots or because of environmental concerns?  Is there any way at this point that the games could be moved to a less-controversial location?

Unfortunately the Chinese maintain tight control over everything going on in China so protests within China are quickly put down. China has invested enormous amounts of money and resources for the Olympic games and will do everything in its power to see them conducted with no interference. Athletes have also invested immense amounts of time and effort ans almost nothing will stop their participation. One only has to remember the Munich games where after Israeli athletes were murdered by Arab terrorists the games continued as if nothing had happened.

i think we can't stop people by doing something by force.. if you are concerning about environmental issues, first thing of all cars,  motorcycle, factories… about Olympics… I think if few people think it has environmental issues, think Again.. all the money, time spend by every individual… I m not saying people should stop playing, but starts thinking….
