Chicago is out of the running.

(Meh....the olympics suck anyway. I don't know why Canada keeps hosting them......3 times in my lifetime...

The US....it's been what....Lake Placid, LA, Atlanta, Salt Lake City....

They were held in Chicago because all the athletes would get shot.

 

[jasride]

It would have been cool to see US BMX making it's home debut but......

here come the right winging banter!!!!!!

 

[moff_quigley]

Olympics Committee probably thought that dirty Chicago politics would stain their pristine and spotless organization.

I was born in 1970. In MY lifetime....

And it's in Rio.

Anyone see SNL last night with Dennis Franz and John Malkkovich?

Plenty of free child labor just waiting to be tapped.

You typed a 9 instead of an 8 by accident.

After the bitterness of an Obama loss, Chicago does not seem like a very international city. Rio does.

Plus when was the last South American Olympics?

There's been talk about that ever since I've lived here (10 years)


I'd say I'd run for the hills but I'm already in the hills. It's supposed to be safe here!

This place can't support a modern olympics event.

The two Australian ones were the only time the Olympics were held in the southern hemisphere. Chicago was never gonna win with Rio in it, the TV rights favoured Rio as much as the politics did.

Wow, I would never have considered that NSFW. That was found via google image search with safe = on. My bad for those who are easily turned on and stuff.

 

[kidwoo]

You just caused a whole room full of ryndian capitalists to inadvertantly poke the joker in the back as they walk by his desk.

How about work instead of surfing the RM?

Republican's path to political dominance: Denigrate the US and cheer in its failures...

WTF? I was no fan of GWB, but I can't imagine cheering and laughing if Houston had been denied the chance to host the Olympics.

When was the last time is was summer in the South America during the summer Olympics?

 

[JohnE]

First time for S. America...couldnt think of a better place. Who ever heard of a chick getting a Chicagoan wax job?


Besides, just means the rest of the world remains ignorant of Portillos. More for me!

Once again, they prove that they aren't focused on real issues.

 

[Jim Mac]

Rio is one of the deadliest cities, something like 2500 murders last year. I'd like to see how they pull this off without some form of Marshall Law.

COME ON, JON! You know yourself that patriotism is just a front for raw power.
