Will Salt Lake City host the 2014 Winter Games? Almost certainly not. But could the Utah capital, logistically, host the 2014 Games?
The answers range from no doubt to no chance.
A grass-roots movement is afoot to boycott the Sochi Winter Olympics or move them to another city after Russian President Vladimir Putin in June signed a law banning "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" and giving the government seemingly broad powers to discriminate against gays.
Salt Lake City is on the short list of places that could conceivably host a modern-scale Winter Olympics on a moment's notice.....

Which Islamic country could host the winter Olympics?
Correct!
I’m no fan of the militant gay agenda. I’m also not a fan of infringement on free speech. These laws are not a good thing.
The Olympics, summer and winter, are full of homos and lesbians.
Obvious Gay Olympic Event: Two Man Luge.
Texas could definitely host it. Does Mount Houston have snow? Where is Mount Houston? Heck they have a road called Mount Houston, there has to be a mountain somewhere named Houston.
Uzbekistan, I believe - if they had the infrastructure.
Or in about 10 years, England.
If they move it from Russia nobody will want the games in the future and the Olympics dies.
It isn’t going anywhere.
Liberals are all about respecting cultural differences until they encounter a different culture.
Where ya gonna hold the bobsled and alpine ski events?
Boycotting the Olympics is so “Carter,” kind of reminds you the libs only ideas have to do with “recycle.”
The exit from I 45 marked “ MT. HOUSTON “
Which Islamic country could host the winter Olympics?
Sarajevo, Bosnia.
If that happens, I guess I’ll have to boycott the US Olympics. We need to get our noses out of other countries’ business. Like Ben Franklin said.
We’re throwing huge money and arms at countries with national religions and huge destructive agendas, meanwhile punishing those who don’t threaten us.
These poofters are wasting their time. It is too late to change the venue.
Why would Utah WANT to hold the Winter Olympics? The Olympics always are a money pit for whoever hosts them — and the debts the locals incur live on long after the Olympics are over.
Well actually, it is, almost anywhere is less hostile to homos than Russia and pro-gay propaganda is legal under the first amendment.
Salt Lake City itself is run by liberals who are very pro-gay.
Highly amusing.
I find myself in unfamiliar territory being on Russia’s side on something.
Texas could but why would we? It’s always a financial disaster to the host city/country.
We’d have to make the snow and somehow keep it frozen but how about a snow boarding obstacle course down Congress Ave. in Austin dodging and jumping over weirdos. Maybe cross country skiing to everywhere Sheila indignantly asked, “Don’t you know who I am?!?” Speed skating through Oak Cliff in Dallas, the East side of I-35 in Austin, or where the low lifes reside in Houston. The luge would have lots of fans in Dallas. Being as it’s Texas and temps reached 110 this week, throw in some summer events such as swimming in Lake Travis that’s 1/3 full what with the drought. Weight lifting nekkid sunbathers out at Hippie Hollow although the cameras would have to severely edit that event. Or cycling along Highway 130 during rush hour with posted speeds at 85 mph. I’d love to see a Run for the Border triathelon event to clear out the illegals.
Its starts off saying that no way will this happen.
Dems are comparing Russia’santi-homo laws to Hitlers cool reception of that black track-and-field star Jesse Owens 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.
Gays are the new blacks its sounds like.
Grass roots? More like ass roots.
