History teaches me that the last thing I would want is for my city to get the Olympics.

Surprised that Paris even got the 2024 games.

Note that with Tokyo in 2020, the IOC seems to be finished with awarding the Games to first-time Cities.

The olympics have been for years big money losers.

Because they kept insisting on holding them in Third-World countries.

Yep. There are a lot of youtube videos of the ex-olympic-site ghost towns that are telling. Plus the raw data regarding actual money lost.

Why would a city want the games? Seriously, I don’t understand.

Actually, Atlanta did pretty good with their facilities after the 96 Games.

Haha... I love it. The steeplechase may be interesting depending on how high the wall is.

Not one federal dollar should be spent on this globalist scam...

Let the Mexicifornians pay for all inevitable overruns.

Just what California needs - more debt. Maybe they pay in pesos.

I am born and raised L.A. native here and I am disappointed! 2024 was what we were shooting for. :(

They HAD to back the Paris Games to 2024 because by 2028 there won’t be a Paris. It will be Parisstan and it’s new management won’t want the games.
