Where would you rather have Women's Beach Volleyball?
Where would you rather be in the summer of 2016 - Chicago or Rio?
Yes, the Obamas presentation was me me me I I I but to me Rio was a no-brainer all along. The first South American Olympics in one of the most enchanting places in the world. I bet all the committee needed to know was that Rio could develop the infrastructure to make it happen.
I doubt the video of the honor student being beaten to death in the streets of Chicago helped either.
That’s a no brainer — Rio or Chicago — RIO wins hands down.
Chicago proposed reusing Soldier Field and then running folks about from here to there on buses.
Hmmm.
Indianapolis beat Chicago out for the 1987 Pan Am Games. Rio de Plata beat Chicago out for the 2003 Pan Am Games.
Rio de Plata? Who?!

I agree. For many people, the coverage of a large spectacle event such as the Olympics lets us see another city that we probably would never see. I am all for the Olympics in Rio, a friend of mine has visited and said it was an awesome place. Sure, it needs some work, but hosting the Olympics will resolve many problems with greatly needed infrastructure and technology improvements.
As a TV viewer I would be much more inclined to tune in to Rio coverage over Chicago coverage. I have been to Chicago, sure its nice, but I would much rather see Rio.
