[NU Sports] No Olympics for Chicago in 2016

[Roy Lamberton]

Steve

We sent the wrong team to close on the Olympics.

THEY don't care how much it will help the host city, THEY care that it will
be a good show.

Plus HOW MUCH MONEY will you show us.

Listen to our pitch using the audio feeds available, and tell me if you'd
give us the Olympics.?

Whatever the reasons, it's just kind of sad that so many Americans were
hoping against Chicago winning and so delighted when it went out in the
first round. There wasn't a big rallying around New York in the last process
either (yet we showcase LA and Atlanta -- perhaps along with Miami and
Houston the absolute worst sports cities in America -- to the world ...
Chicago's transit woes at least are on par or better than those two places
and it has far more color/culture and world-class sights to see).

Kind of embarrassing that we'd be so bitter at each other to screw our own
chances of hosting a global event like this and then gloating that we lost.
It could have been a rallying point for national pride. Could have also been
a nice showcase for NU in one event at least and brought an economic boost
to the Windy City.

Oh well, I'm more of a winter olympics guy anyway -- at least we've done a
nice job hosting and showcasing those and I expect another wonderful two
weeks of sights with Vancouver next year. The scenery alone should be
spectacular! Looks like that's the closest they'll be to the U.S. in the
near future at least and perhaps longer than that until the IOC gets their
act together and the American people decide to leave political differences
out of some things and display some national unity.

GO CATS!!!
