Isn’t the sea level going to be too high by then?
Greg Lou Gayness should be happy if the diving is held in San FranCisco.
Ugh.... can you imagine? I can see several nations boycotting such a spectacle. The homos would turn it into ‘their event’. Might as well be Sodom 2024.
No, even Baghdad would be better than SanFran.
However if there’s a shoulder-mounted missile launcher competition, we have a chance at the gold with Leland Yee
SF would be a joke. They have no real venues. Contestants would be shipped to the Sierras, down to Monterey, To Berkley....all over just to compete. They have NO SPACE to build a village for the athletes.
Talk about stupid....I guess that means it will happen
I don’t even root for the USA in the Olympics anymore. What kind of numbskull WANTS to pay for this????
Better San Fran than Boston. Boston really *doesn’t* have room to build venues. If there was a way to use existing sites for the events, it might work, but even then, traffic would be an absolute nightmare.
On the other hand, it would be kind of neat to see the rowing events held in the Charles Basin, and the marathon can use the traditional Boston Marathon route, which is one of the better world-class routes.
Keep your eyes on the World Cup in Rio de Janerio and the political turmoil around it. Now, project and magnify that turmoil for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janerio. These 2 events could well provide a peak into the future for a Summer Olympics in the U.S.
Well, pole vaulting and high jumping will lead in popularity among the local tourists, that's for sure.

They should consider giving it to a city in the so called Rust Belt. People in that region of the country still have their dreams too. The temporary building boost would help the economy for a couple years at least. You people will laugh at me, but I say “What about Detroit?”, or somewhere in Ohio. With all the newly cleared acreage now free of burnt down buildings, there should be room enough for an Olympic Village. Our neighbor to the north, my Canadian brothers in Windsor would also love it. Just be ready to spend a lot on security, come down fast and hard on any flies in the ointment.
They wouldn’t build a new stadium for the football team and they will build one for tennis and volleyball?
What’s interesting is that we, like Brazil, might find ourselves hosting a World Cup and The Olympics within a few years of each other, if FIFA takes away the 2022 WC from Qatar
I seriously doubt that we’ll last that long, as fast as we’re swirling down the toilet.
I am a fan of SF Bay Area pro sports teams. Having stated that I could
not support the Olympic Games being held in SF assuming they
could find the space. Contemplation of the likely opening and closing
ceremonies alone makes me sick. Many other Niner and SF Giant
fans think the same way.
