[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 610966, member: 7666"] A blessing for the people of Chicago and Illinois, one of the most corrupt cities and states in the USA. The IOC didn't need to hear Richie Daley talking about how the Olympics will create jobs and help the city, nor did they need to hear that Barack, Michelle and their 2 girls can walk to the venue for opening and closing ceremonies. Their presentation was all about them, not the benefits to the athletes of the world. Now Rio had the right idea, have a map of Olympics previously held, and none in South America, it was their turn, plain and simple. Rio is hosting the World Soccer Cup in 2012 and will have a lot of structure in place. The city of Chicago pledged 4 billion to building the venues, Rio pledged 14 billion and Bejing spent 50 billion, and what a venue they had. No way would Chicago stay to a budget of 4 billion, as they can't manage the city budget, much less a budget 7 years out. And the USA boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics, due to the war in Afghanistan with Russia, and now we are there fighting a war, go figure JMO [/QUOTE]
