Los Angeles will host the 2028 Summer Olympics after reaching a deal with Olympic organizers, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday, citing an unnamed source close to the negotiation.

The agreement also paves the way for the 2024 Summer Games to be awarded to Paris. An announcement from the International Olympic Committee was expected later on Monday.

Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's office said he and other proponents of the city's bid for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games would make an announcement to the news media at 5 p.m. PDT (0000 GMT).

Prediction: the is no Los Angeles in 2028.

It will be the second time Mexico has hosted the Games.

No thanks, and not just because of our domestic enemies in Californiastan.

I lost interest when the United States screwed over Jim Thorpe (again) in 1992.

>>Uberroth saved the games..i was there in 1984- it was great<<

I was only 1/2 joking. He figured out how to monetize and economize like no body’s business.

I was there too. Traffic was never better, before or after.

Best of all, no doped-up Commie athletes.

[God luvs America]

Thorpe’s medals and victory was restored in 1982

Not many Americans will go to Olympics in an oppressive State.

[God luvs America]

yup...i stayed in Ventura and drove in every day and was pre warned about the traffic...and every day i would say “what the hell are they talking about” as i glided through town

[BruinX66]

Was here for the 1984 Olympics as a kid, a truly amazing experience. Those who left town thinking it would be a traffic nightmare really missed out. LA is one of the few cities that is well built for the Olympics.

The Sanctuary City Games.

Well, .... So much for the Olympic games.

BY 2018? L.A., - will be what Detroit is Today!

Caitlyn Jenner can wear his golf miniskirt and light the Olympic flame.....

Please run the marathon through Compton.

I bet that would result in numerous records:
Fastest Olympic Marathon, EVER!
Most Number of Marathon Runners SHOT!
Which would lead to Most Number of Participants NOT Completing the Race!
Most Number of Marathoners Mugged in a Single Event!

I could go on, but WHY? Even the idiots in Mexifornia know to NOT send out-of-towners to Compton or Watts or any part of South Central! LOL!

The Olympics were great when it was us vs them during the Cold War.

Now, the Olympics are an anachronism, run my corrupt, globalists that feature sports no one gives a shit about.

You beat me to it.

[hoosiermama]

First thing I thought of. A stick in 0 eye!

[Hotlanta Mike]

While living in SoCal I attended the men’s volleyball (Long Beach St) and men’s basketball (The Forum in Inglewood) games. The events were spread out throughout the area so aside from attending these games involving national teams there was not really a sense of experiencing an Olympic venue.

[tumblindice]

"Please run the marathon through Compton." "Boys, did you see those monkeys run!?"

[treetopsandroofs]

(I knew that)

Yeah, almost in time to sway opinion and get the professionals into the Olympics, but drat it all (/s), they had to wait until 1992.

Jim Thorpe died in 1953.

Nope, no sale, Olympics.

[dfwgator]

Especially now when most of the athletes competing for other countries practically live and train here in the US.

[lodi90]

Nobody else wanted it. Too expensive and too big a terrorist target.
