If Chicago hosts the 2016 Summer Olympics, will you buy a ticket to go watch an Olympic event?
Yes 23.7% No 76.3%
Total votes: 615
“And I DEARLY love my Country and am a Patriot too. That’s WHY I am this way about this issue.”
Each to their own, although you sound a bit like a drama queen here. However, I do not like, nor ever have, the mixing of politics with the Olympics. Such as when Carter called it off for our athletes back when, pimping them after years of their investing time and energy to become the best they could be in their sport; and the Carter boycott accomplished nothing in the short run nor in the long run, except for to cheat our athletes out of their one potential shining moment of glory and pride.
So you can stay on your high horse, but I’m behind our athletes, and I’m not behind ruining their chances at the Olympics for your particular political axe to grind nor anyone else’s. It hurts no one but our athletes. So enjoy your personal indignation as I continue to hope we get the Olympics here in the USA.
No, but then I’d most likely not buy a ticket for any location. However I’d bet they’ll fill venues most of the time.

RE your “Drama Queen”, “High Horse” “Personal Indignation” and “your particular political axe to grind” statements:
You just lost your right to courtesy from me. I’ll withdraw my “No Offense, Ma’am”.
Take it any way you want it. And stuff it anywhere you want it.
Have a great day.
Won’t go and won’t watch. If Chicago gets the Olympics it will only be because the US network covering it (NBC) will offer to pay millions more than the other countries. I could just see it now. The O-lympics will be all about O-bama.
Take it any way you want it. And stuff it anywhere you want it.
Have a great day.
I will, thank you, particularly if Chicago wins the Olympics. You hsve a great day too. Toodles, sir.
while youre busy celebrating all the diversity in dear city, and prayin for childs games to watch, we have the very real struggle of FReedom vs tireless commie/islamofascist tyranny and troops dyin in the field...
sorry but I wont consider that toilet to be part of MY country so long as the masters and slaves thereof are more concerned about multiculturalism than assimilating into a free America...
You go ahead and concentrate 24/7 on your issues, and I will be watching the Olympics and cheering our teams on. Each to their own. Geez, drama queens everywhere.
No way, if Obama has anything to do with the Olympics I wont even watch them, besides, the Winter Olympic’s are wear it’s at. I don’t think Chicago is for the Winter Olympics unless mens downhill will ski down the mountain of corruption, at that hill is so big and steep no one would dare try it ...
Hey Gilbo_3!!!
Chicago RINO alert brother.
“No way, if Obama has anything to do with the Olympics I wont even watch them,”
You aren’t even thinking about our athletes, are you. Sad.
Not to mention The Chicago Pentathlon- Two Drivebys and three Escapes from Custody.
Our office in Brentwood was literally ON the marathon route.....wifey and I flew away for vacation during the L.A. Olympics.
I would only go when there is an event with flying pigs.
So let’s pray Cincinnati is not a target. I believe prayer can stop a lot of this. Ask for God’s mercy. I’ll join you.
clueless troll alert...no wonder bambam was so successful in chicago...
By 2016 if the Democrats get their way, and there are enough traitors and fools that vote to ensure that they will, no one but Democrats and their fellow travlers, will have any money. The rest of the population will be confined in camps as their slaves.
flaglady47, 0bozo is methodically destroying our country every day in numerous ways, and bringing the Olympics to Chicago is nothing more than pumping another $5 Billion in payouts & graft to his polilical cronies like Valerie Jarrett & Mayor Daley's Chicago mafia. I have been to and thru Chicago a number of times since I live less than 6 hours away. Yes, there are some good spots, but overall it is a cesspool of crime, corruption, violence, bribery & graft. This is typical 0bozo MO, to payoff his political backers. In fact the proposed site for the Olympic Village in Chicago would enable the builders to tear down the project hellholes that Valerie Jarrett was in charge. See Michelle Maulkin's website for this story. 0bozo is a commie pig usurper and everything he touches turns to graft & corruption.
Speaking of our athletes, I love our athletes. However because of Title IX politically correct bullsH_t restrictions on colleges, our top athletes are being denied the funds & competitive levels that are necessary for them to improve & hone their skills. In the last Olympics our top athletes no longer get that competitive level because of Title IX restrictions. The Olympics themselves are a corrupt socialist venue led by global, anti-American socialists, and giving the 2016 Oympics to Chicago is nothing more than New World Order socialists rewarding now the top socialist-fascist-commie in the world, Baaruk 0bozo 0bama.
I hope & pray that the Chicago Olympic bid is miraculously denied.
“clueless troll alert...no wonder bambam was so successful in chicago...”
Yeah, I’ve been a troll since 1998. And yourself?
Aww, come on...we’re just being “drama queens”...
That could NEVER happen HERE...
Especially with such intelligent citizens like Chicago evidently produces (well, at least ONE, here, today) ...who are so desperate (and dumbassed) for the Olympics that they can’t see the symbolism that FuBO winning it really means.
But hey...”Drama” tag on.
