More accessible article for 'beginners'
Hi there,
I came here looking for something written at a grade 8 reading level (the target level for public education documents - minimal use of words over 3 sylables & jargon, and mainly short, declarative sentences) that summarizes the evidence about the value/value myths of the Olympic to host cities. Ideally a point form version of the story in a less academic writing style: "a beginners guide to the social impacts of the olympics". Anyone know of a good, short summary of the major criticisms, with evidence (not just assertions) for a general audience?
Thanks.
