Between the expense of illegals and that every city that’s ever hosted the games loses money, LA just put itself on the fast track to financial ruin.
Great news for Dallas.
by 2024 it will be owned by mexico with the blessing of the democrap party and RINOs
2024...by then Sandra Fluke should be Governor.
It's modernized Biathlon.
.
Are they going to allow gangbangers to enter the shooting events?
Might as well add drug-smuggling, drug-selling, and organized gang rapes to the events.
LA = Los Assholes
1984 was in another century...
Is that when a CNN anchor seemed in disbelief and stunned by the vote?
“Chicago has developed a large pool of participants. This could put them over the top for the event.”
But doesn’t the odd “sideways style” of shooting negatively affect accuracy?
“LA has world class facilities, held the Olympics in 1984 with excellence.”
That was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. If you think THAT was a great event, you should have seen Chicago’s Colombian Exposition. Now THAT was an event.
“1984 was in another century...”
And the LA Olympics in 1984 were excellent.
There was no need to spend taxpayer money, for world class facilities were already there. In fact they had a choice between multiple sites.
Coliseum, Sports Arena, Dodger stadium, USC, UCLA to name a few.
Ronald Reagan opened the games.

Best part of the 1984 Games? No roided up Commies.
ElLay and the State of CA are both drowning in debt already.
How does anyone on the USOC possibly believe they can afford $3 billion, when they are close to being bankrupt?
Great news for Dallas.

Yep. Great that Dallas wasn’t even contending!
In late ‘80s or early ‘90s, I was a Mgr. at a major defense contractor in DFW. All in Mgt. positions had to attend two big meetings pushing the DFW Metro area (Dallas, Fort Worth, Denton) for a Summer Olympics. ...There were Mayors, major current and past pro sports figures, State and Federal politicians pushing the idea to us, using lots of computer graphics showing the “Olympic Village” and all the venues.
Fortunately, Texans refused to buy-in to the scheme because they knew it would be nothing more than a MONEY PIT!
Well, you may be right that Dallas was never a contender, but they were trying for the 2024 olympics.
“Five Rings, One World Class City”
The big drawback to Dallas was the weather. Just too hot. Although, unlike Atlanta, it’s not nearly as humid. But all the facilities are there.
