Going for Gold: Controversies surrounding summer Olympics

10,500 Athletes from all over the globe will gather to compete in the SUMMER OLYMPICS in Paris, France. However, frustration at the National Government is due to at all of their tax dollars being spent on the Games and not on helping the needy or the poor areas within the City. Parisians' anger is channeling into the River Seine with their human waste at the exact moment President Macron and French mayor Anne Hidalgo are supposed to swim in the River in honor of the games.
