Reuters ^ | 07/31/2016

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).

With “transgender” being the current trend, the men’s basketball team will also be the women’s basketball team except they’ll be wearing long hair wigs...

By then LA will probably have a mexican name.

Oh, joy! We’ll be able to ride the high speed choo-choo from here in the Bay Area to the games in 2 hours. Or, I could hop a high-speed airplane and be there in 50 minutes.

More likely, the train will get me as far as Visalia and I can walk the rest of the way.

Building the new venues will probably cost another $4 billion we don’t have. The return on all Olympics games is negative. Why countries host these things is beyond me.

Please run the marathon through Compton.

Look, this is the Olympics we're talking about, not The Running Man.

The bribe regime may be going away since there were only two cities left bidding for the 2024 games and they both got them. I think the IOC saw the writing on the wall that a lot of cities are beginning to realize the financial costs are prohibitive and this move avoids a situation where no city would want the 2028 games. If the current situation regarding costs and hassle hosting the games continues look for them to go the permanent site route.

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.


YES!!! LA will end up worse off than Rio and I will cheer with loud schadenfreude!!

Transgenderism will be the downfall of international sports.

Here’s why: at the rate it is deteriorating Paristan won’t exist in 2028 so give the dumb bastards the 24 Olympics while they still exist.
