Boston's Olympic Dreams Remembered

New mayor torpedoes bid. Probably best in the long run. Not a destination city.

 

[YAWN!]

Shame. Wanted to see Ben Affleck light the torch.

Never had a real chance anyway

 

[YAWN!]

CoP needs to step up and host this.

No problem. Everything else comes here.

It would be the flashmob capital of the world once again.

See what the CoP is doing for the pope visit? Basically completely shutting down the city for an entire weekend. A dignitary is visiting for literally 24 hours and the city has no clue how to handle it. Cities like NY and LA must laugh their asses off when they see this. I saw a map that is basically showing how a fence will be built around center city to keep people at bay. Even Septa can't sell special Pope passes for mass transit without their site crashing.

5th tier city and it's not even close.

Speaking of LA, is it too late for them to put in a bid for these Olympics? Seems like it'd be really easy to pull off there, venues are in place, it's a better destination, they've done big events (including the olympics) before.

seems like a slam dunk

Perfect. And Caitlyn can light the torch while people gush about the courageousness of it all.

 

[tkuder007]

yeah, because that's all that LA has going for it as an olympic host...
