SAN DIEGO MAYOR: CHANGE RULES TO ALLOW JOINT U.S.-MEXICO CROSS-BORDER OLYMPICS BID

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner said he wanted to pursue a joint Olympics bid with Mexico even after he was informed by the United States Olympic Committee that international rules prevent the two countries from doing so.

The Associated Press reported the bid "appeared dead before arrival Tuesday" because the "U.S. Olympic Committee said international rules don't allow two countries to mount a joint candidacy."

Filner, a Democrat who was a former Congressman, seems intent on still going forward with the bid with Tijuana. A San Diego-Tijuana Olympics would also cause massive border security problems and create many hurdles for law enforcement officials as well.

According to USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky, Christopher Sullivan, the USOC's chief of protocol and bids, informed Filner's team that the "International Olympic Committee charter doesn't allow for bordering countries to host Summer Games."

Even though the USOC spokesman said, "there's no opportunity for them to bid together," Filner said he was "undaunted."

Nope.

I pray y’all get it.

Precisely.

Place the olympics PERMANENTLY in Greece.

Cheaper, and in keeping with the rules. And no corruption.

[Uncle Chip]

Will taco bending be the new event in those San Diego Olympics???

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

The demonstration sport could be a border-crossing themed triathlon: swim and wade across a river; climb over, duck under, or crawl through various border “fences”; x-country run through desert and ranch lands.

LOL.
No corruption?

Greece sure needs the money.

[onyx]

LOL and UGH.

[Hardraade]

Not the bigtime corruption traditionally brought by the Olympic Committee. Take back the games.

Bob Filner becoming the mayor of San Diego was a powerful signal that America is over.

What’s Filner’s rush about being part of Mexico? Isn’t the Anschluss happening soon enough for him?

[Revolting cat!]

What’s not to like, all the sports events will take place in San Diego, while sporting will happen in Tijuana, where the hookers are cheaper!

[novascotianative]

Believe it. I left San Diego when this douche bag got elected.
