While there are a lot of people here at FR against this i'll say two things: 1) i attended the Olympics four times and had a ball 2) how great is it everyone thought obama's chicago was a shoe-in for the 2016 games and lost in the first round of balloting...meanwhile six months into the Trump presidency the Olympics are handed to the United States!!!! a kick in the gonads to obama!!!

LA is probably the best place for the Games. The facilities are already built for the most part. And the Memorial Coliseum is still one of the best stadiums on the planet.
Paris on the other hand, is going to have a lot of problems with trying to clean up the city from “refugees” for the Games.

which is why I’m surprised 2024 went to Paris and 2028 to LA- not vice versa

The Olympics are pretty 19th Century.
Still, I’m glad LA got it as almost every Olympics is a financial disaster for the host city.
Couldn’t happen to a better place.

Probably just take that long to figure what taxes to raise and what new ones to implement.

>>What could go wrong?<<
Ueberroth is only 80 this year and will only be 91 in 2028. If he is like my FIL, he should be able to do again what he did last time.
I think this time he might sell advertising space on the event names (the Pepto Bismol Biathlon) and athletes themselves (like soccer or NSACAR).

Will the official language of the 2028 Summer Olympics be Spanish or Chinese?

How much more in property taxes will Californians now have to pay to cover the bribes to the IOC?
