Hungarian spokesman Zoltan Kovacs confirmed to the Associated Press (via USA Today) on Wednesday that Budapest was withdrawing its bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics, leaving only Los Angeles and Paris in the running to host the event.

LA and CA are broke. Give it up guys. Let Paris have it
The Muzzies will have taken over Paris by 2024, so head chopping and sabre throwing will be Olympic events.
It seems that in recent years, fewer and fewer cities and countries even want to bid for the Olympics.
So then America and LA have a 50-50 chance of getting the games?? Will the IOC then not be able to play off one city against another, won’t be able to solicit additional bids or money???
What will the IOC do in the future if nobody wants to host the games??
And same concept with the NFL and Super Bowls. I heard that Glendale Arizona lost money on the Super Bowl and may be reluctant to bid for another. What if no NFL city ponied up the big bucks and benefits for the Super Bowl????
Paris will be at least a quarter Muslim so that would be interesting. Los Angeles will be bankrupt by then but they already have the athletic facilities.
Yeah like all those taxpayers would want additional billions added to their taxes. The whole city’s infrastructure is a mess and the politicians want to spend all that money on sports stadium that will fall into ruin after the games are over. Does Rio come to mind? Do all those other Olympic sites that are crumbling into dust come to mind. To them, I guess not.
East Rutherford & Secaucus did not do well either.
What a choice: Muslim gangs in Paris or Black/Brown gangs in LA
Figures - a Mohammedan hell hole or a Mexican hell hole.
Paris! Paris! Paris!
Yep, Paris it is...
Los Angeles is an embarrassment to the nation.
Very excited. I love the Olympics, politics be damned. Very involved in an Olympic sport community and I know what to takes to get there. I would be thrilled to have it here in LA again.
The risk of a terror attack is far higher with the squinchy gendarmes in Paris.
We need tha rail to nowhere so we can host the olympics. Who doesn’t see this one coming?
Too bad it wasn’t Budapest.
LOL
I can hear it now...
Far be it from me to rave about the city of L.A. But there was no gridlock or much traffic during the Olympics before, and gangs weren’t allowed to be active around any venues.
And only one terror attack. (Before the games started, someone mowed down people on sidewalks near the Westwood Olympic village. I don’t remember if he was Muslim? I didn’t think of that stuff.)

It wasn’t a Muslim that time.
Invader v invader.
