Should Poor Countries Stop Hosting Major Sports Events?

A Talk on BBC really caught my eye, After South Africa hosting the world Cup and India Hosting the Commonwealth games, China Hosting the Olympics a headline that has had alot of discussion in the past has once again risen, should poor countries host major events? Spend all that money for these events while there are a lot of more things that could've been other than that. Schools would have been built, charities would have been paid, roads would have been constructed, lots of development plans.

Can 2008 - the African Cup of Nations - which Ghana staged from late January to early February 2008,BBC programme makers sent around Ghana, seemed to have only one aim: To ask poor Ghanaians whether they would not rather have their government spend the money being used to build stadiums on them.They said South Africa couldn't host the world cup and gave us a thousand reasons why.There were all kinds reports all over the place. But they did host it in a grand style, and now South Africa, in terms of development, is being compared to some developed nations in the west. 
I think that effort should be honored same goes to India, Hosting these events should not be a  plight! Just my opinion. 

I don't think it is wise nor prudent to seclude our "so called" poor countries from hosting big global events. Firstly,Rich nations first criticize poor nations for not participating in sports and poor facilities provided to sportsmen and Hosting big sports events we must agree unifies people of all nations in one area, in one country true poor nations there are problems there are lots of things to be done but we should give them a chance to show they can do it also, Its not fair to cut them out because they are 'poor'  Think about it,

 It really goes beyond India hosting Commonwealth Games. China was host for Olympics, Brazil will soon be hosting it. South Africa was host for World Cup football, Brazil will soon do the same. India was host for Commonwealth and wants to bid for Olympics. Never in the history have developing nations been host for major sporting events for such continuous period.I think what the media should stop doing is showing bad coverage and being biased about these Major events and instead show support.

Yes there is a great deal of money spent and yes that money could be spent on development plans,building school or the like but do they not highlight the plight of the poorer areas of those developing nations. Do they not remind us that humanity has a long way to go? That despite the cushy lifestyle in the developed nations, there are others who live on less and need our help? What these sorts of events also show is that despite the problems being faced by these "third world nations" they also show the ability, hope and pride of countries often written of by the 1st world. They open eyes of the world to some of the best aspects of a nations that otherwise would never have the chance to show off their culture, beauty and unique contribution to the world.
