No Olympics?
- The U.S. Olympic Committee is sending a letter to the mayors of the 25
largest cities/metropolitan areas in the United States to gauge interest
in a potential U.S. bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
The last two U.S. bidders, Chicago (2016) and New York (2012), both rejected out-of-hand by International Olympic Committee voters, are on the list.
But Sarah Hamilton, a spokeswoman for Mayor Rahm Emanuel, said Chicago is not interested.
Damn, we had a whole year worth of material all stored up, ready to go, starting with this guy:
Oh well.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaah!
Looks like Chalkie needs a light.
Well, for the first time I agree with 9.5. We still don't need that waste of $$$ here. Fuck those aholes!
So can i get a chalkie t shirt now ???
Well, well, we'll have to wait and see what the Abu Dhabi investors that own those parking meters have to say about this. That's a lot of Olympic parking fee money they're looking at! Ya know?

The International Olympic Committee is going to drop WRESTLING from the list of sports from the 2020 Olympics.
What the hell are they thinking?!?!
That is a sport from the original ancient Olympic Games.
It is also one game which does not require a huge outlay of funds for an athlete to compeat. Some guy from any of the poorest counties in the world can get to the games with little more than a jock strap and wrestling tog compete and win.
Wrestling, I'm surprised Obama, Rahm, Quinn, Polosi, Bloomberg and the rest of the antigun Democrats didn't insist that all shooting sports be elemated.
On a side note what is going on with the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on-line registration? It's all a mess and the announcement says it's gonna take two days to fix it!!
Is it a hack-attack that they do not want published?
Hard to believe that Bank of America doesn't know how to run a website or size a system properly to handle the data.
THey won't have wrestling anyway so I won't be watching. They get rid of the one warrior sport there is at the games. Fuck the Olympics.
OT: How long before the name "Chicago" replaces "Detroit"?
Forget the big comeback; Detroit focuses on what can be saved

Like Rahm "isn't interested" in the presidency?
looks like he's holding a giant golf tee.
I think that this 'insignificant' web site and all it's posters had a hand in saving this City from the economic ruination the Olympics would have brought.
They're still smarting from the humiliating defeat. They're like spoiled brat kids who won't play because they lost. Socialists. What a pack of stupid bastards.
There are a lot of hotels going up!!!!
We're ready to play.
Too bad. It was great seeing Daley get disappointed the last time.
I still wish I had a picture of Daley when the Olympic committee bitch slapped him.
why wouldn't rahmie want to host the olympics here? is it because barry and miche don't want the added congestion near their ghetto neighborhood? this would be a huge revenue generator and we would benefit from this as well.
i suppose rahmie couldn't handle the olympics because rahmie couldn't even handle nato. smart choice rahmie, to know when you're not smart enough to handle the olympics. and this way rahmie knows he won't get the olympics because he has fucked up chicago even more since he started so it looks better to say he is not interested rather than the committee laugh in his face and say how the olympics would never be hosted by a detroit or a chicago, ha.
The Olympic shooting teams could have a target rich enviroment,I like it.
Sorry about that SCC, I'm sure you were counting on the Chalkie memorabilia sales for a little beer money.

The IOC should add Drive-by, holding the gat sideways, and over the shoulder shooting while running, events to the current shooting line up.
If daley had those events added prior to the 2016 vote Chalkiecago would have won the games hands down.

Sorry it is being replaced with ballerina dancing. Yes Ballerina dancing
Ahhh, the Olympics. I have such sweet memories of the Olympics and the selection last time when Chicago was bounced out even before King Daley got to his seat. I'd love to have seen his face when Chicago got tossed. Sweet.
I'd love to see his face if/when he gets indicted. Og baby that would be good!
Heard thr olympics are going in the area of the 7th district?
Oops I mean the carnival.
God forbid we'd still have asshole Rahm anywhere around here in 2024.
Thats why Shortshanks didnt run again after Chgo dint get Olympics Thank GOD. Shanks stole more money from us along with 93 million dollars from our pension. Thak was given to his nephew and his BS partner to redevelop land in the old 2 district. Bid fell thru-Chicago first out of bid-and Shortstuff still hiding and aint sayin shit. Move over JR. Maybe crybaby Short thang can be yall beotch.
Taste of Chicago
hahahahahahahahahaha..
Let's do it again except let's throw $2 million away this time -- like we are all big shots and this is a World-Class City or somethin'
That is all.
I hear the Swiss put up a statue of Daley to commemorate his disapointment. Its at IOC headquarters. Its a statue of Daley with his jaw all the way to the ground and water flowing out of it.
We spent 200 Million trying to get the last Olympics
2024? Ha! That will be several years after I leave shitago and this corrupt state, regardless of what kind of pension I end up with. Screw this shit hole and all the liberal crap.
We can probably get the next Olympics by just publicizing the murders in Rio (many thousands) and declaring "Chicago is safer than Rio, Afghanistan and Syria put together"
Anybody who thinks that the Olympics would be a "huge revenue generator" clearly hasn't read recent history. How could anyone think that this event will do anything but line the back pockets of favored cronies at the public's expense?
The Olympics has been a staggering net loss for the taxpayers of every city in which it has been held. It has lurched billions over budget in London (2012), and Vancouver is still paying for theirs.
Chicago dodged a bullet when it lost the 2016 bid. Let's be glad we're not bidding for 2024. We waste enough taxpapayers' funds on sports venues, for the benefit of mega-rich team owners, as it is.
