[NU Sports] No Olympics for Chicago in 2016

[MHRJGScott at aol.com]

One of the major reasons the USA did not get the Olympics is that we do not 
 make visitors feel welcome. From the insane visa requirements to the 
massive  lines to get fingerprinted etc. most people said why bother?

A bit  stunned by the news (though as mentioned, surviving that first round 
was key)  and sad. Chicago would have made a spectacular host. 

It certainly has  that world-class beauty that most Olympic cities in 
recent years (Athens,  Barcelona, Sydney, etc.) had with the gorgeous Lake 
Michigan waterfront and  skyline. And it's about as big of a sports town as you 
can get!

Kind of  odd when you look at the US cities who have hosted (LA, Atlanta 
and St. Louis)  and how they really have neither of those qualities. Heck, 
even among the  other US cities vying to host recently (New York and San 
Francisco) - CHicago  may be equalled in world-class beauty and status, but the 
Windy City is far  more of a sports town.

Oh well, it will be nice to see an Olympics in  South America and Rio 
certainly has that grand beauty and love of sport. Just  kind of bummed to see 
Chicago passed over so quickly.

GO  CATS!!!
