Jack Linshi has a
Time article about a
ridiculously expensive idea:
The United States Olympics Committee (USOC) has unanimously approved a bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympic Games.
The four possible bid cities are Boston, Massachusetts, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco and Los Angeles in California, whose representatives gave pitches to the committee recently, according to a USOC statement. A selection for the bid will be made in January of 2015, and the International Olympic Committee will select a host city in 2017, after reviewing all submitted bids.
The organization’s last decision to bid to host the Olympics was for the 2016 Games, which was awarded to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil instead of Chicago, Illinois. The USOC had decided not to bid for the 2020 Olympics, which will take place in Tokyo, Japan.
The last Summer Olympics to be held in the US were the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Georgia.
Rico says it's
your tax dollars that are gonna pay for this...
