"The race for the 2016 Olympics has came down to just Rio de Janeiro and Madrid, with the International Olympic Committee eliminating Chicago in a stunning first round of voting"

Rio, Madrid still in race for 2016 Olympics - Yahoo! News

This is too bad, Chicago would have been a great place for the Olympics. I hope Madrid gets it now, I would like to go there more than Brazil and the Olympics would be a great excuse to spend the money.
 
I guess my date with Ethereal for the Chicago Olympics is off. :(

Don't feel bad for Chicago, the Cubs are going to win the world series in 2016.








I'm kidding.
 
I was rooting for Rio from the beginning.
They deserve it, there were no Olympics in Latin America so far.

I think Rio's going to get them, myself.

I'm pissed off about how much of my tax money went into this failed bid but I'm actually a little relieved that we didn't get them otherwise. That **** would have ****ed the grass up at soldier field and screwed it up for football season.

I was not aware of that, so I hope it happens this time. I guess Rio would not be so bad, I have friends in that area of Brazil (San Paulo).
 
Does Rio count as "latin America"?

Did you have any qualms with Bush attending the last Olympics on your taxpayer dime?

I think a president attempting to seek to help America get some dough and open jobs can be seen only as a good thing. But that's me....

My comment had nothing to do with Obama. I could care less about that ****.

I'm from Chicago. I reside here. We spent 48 million on a waste of time in a town where a ton of the inner city schools are literally falling apart.

Yes, but the Olympics would have been a nice distraction for you all from the Cubs failing again.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. I understand now. I can't blame you for being pissed off.

Oops. :3oops: Forgive me, you SOB. ;)
 
Rio just won(3 seconds ago). :mrgreen:

Thou art forgiven. :2razz:

I despise Daley and his thugs with every ounce of my being. It's not because they are Democrats, it's because they are corrupt pieces of ****. This whole thing was a ploy so that prick could get richer off of kickbacks from no-bid contracts for the construction.

Minus the standard Chicago corruption "fees", getting the games would have probably cost us billions.
 
If Rio gets the 2016 Olympic knod, look out! Talk about partying 'til the break of dawn!! :shock:
One heck of a carnival is expected in 2016. :2razz:
I'll definitely attend that one.
 
I'm a Sox fan. The Cubs failing is pleasurable for me.

Ok, replace Cubs with Sox then. Works out almost the same. Will be a rainout tonight for the Sox by the way.
