After a recent International Olympic Committee fact-finding investigation went well, Los Angeles officials are extremely confident that California’s largest city will host a Summer Olympics for a third time after previous turns in 1932 and 1984. They just don’t know if it will be in 2024 or 2028.
The other city that’s a finalist for the 2024 games – Paris – has also impressed IOC evaluators. And with it increasingly difficult to find new cities and nations willing to spend billions of dollars to prepare for the games – Los Angeles and Paris were the only serious competitors for 2024 – the IOC will begin formally considering the idea to simultaneously award both the 2024 and 2028 games at a committee hearing next month. IOC President Thomas Bach appears supportive of picking both cities and bringing the 2028 selection process to an abrupt end.
A final decision is expected on Sept. 13 at a meeting of the full IOC board in Lima, Peru. But with the financial disaster of the 2016 Summer Olympics fresh in memory – the $12 billion tab bankrupted the Rio de Janeiro state government – the attraction of picking and locking down cities with most or all of the needed infrastructure in place is obvious.
SNIP: Could you imagine the new games that will be invented if LA were to be picked?
Good. L.A. and the Olympics deserve each other.
I know we are all still in awe and impressed at how God Emperor Obama brought the Olympics to Chicago.
Might as well as it will save on travel costs as the world has already moved there!
Hahaha LA doesn’t stand a chance. They’re going to try to punish Trump–and us–by giving it to Paris melodramatic spectacle out of it. In fact, PDT could kill LA’s chances with one tweet in support. Do it, please, PDT.
Riots are being planned as we speak.
New sport for the LA olympics: The Marxist Douchbagathon. The first leg of the race starts across the border in Mexico. The contestants must sneak across the boarder and race to the nearest sanctuary city where the next stages take place including, random gang murdering, armed robbery, and rape. Then in the final stage they must rush to complete their applications for welfare, food stamps, and Obamacare.
In Paris by 2024 they will have the Jihadi Gauntlet and goat roping for men and the 100 step burka race as the only event for women….
To add to my comment above:
When the sneak across the boarder they must be carrying bags of illegal drugs.
Also after completing all the other steps the last thing they must do is submit their absentee ballot for which ever democrat is running for President that year.
They are meeting to see who is offering the biggest bribe, hence the outcome is still under consideration.
Well if it’s in L.A. in 2024 then Trump will still be president but the Left will be getting violent over the prospect of Pence as president. If it’s in 2028 then it will just be Pence up for re-election so less volatile.
Although the national economy will be fantastic I don’t know about CA, with the new single payer healthcare proposal I think everyone may have to leave or be taxed to death.

LA would have to repair a lot of roads in order to have an Olympic event. They’re probably scratching their heads saying, “What’s a road?”
I think it might just be me but it seems that lately the only time a city bids for a summer Olympics is when the State or Federal government is liberal. To be fair though LA is the only Summer Olympic to actually make money much less break even in memory. The one thing Hollywood knows how to do is sell a dream, notwithstanding Hillary. However 1984 was a lot different then today and I wonder whether people living in California realize just how much more financial peril a successful bid would put them in.
the stands would be filled with fans wearing the colors of Mexico, as usual for L.A.
Car-jacking relay marathon: 26.2 mile course where teams of car-jackers have to take a new car every 4 miles while avoiding stop sticks and road blocks.
In honor of B. Hussein Obama, they could have a gun running marathon from LA to Mexico City and back making sure that they fire at border agents each way!
It will be interesting to see how much longer CA lasts, now that they have vowed to uphold the Paris accord after Trump rescued us from it.
They deserve each other.
Mexico won’t be able to field a team. All the Mexicans who can run, jump, or swim are already in the U.S.
Severed head soccer, bring back history!!
