Tourism Dropping

[Charlie Chapulin]

I read with interest Bum Rush’s piece about Canadian tourists cancelling/showing no interest in coming to the good ol’ US of A.
Something I wondered about is the scheduled Olympics in LA. Although I found the hand off featuring Tom Cruise at the end of last summer’s games to be more than lame, I really began to wonder following the election and, more recently, after the fires.
What if we host an Olympics and no one comes? Or, only Russia, China and the other countries under dictatorships show?
Thoughts?

1. I just hope our athletes don't emulate the Russians and get involved in doping

I wonder if Trump will put pressure on the IOC to restore Russia’s right to compete.

4. To continue

to be in Putin's good graces I bet the felon does something to get Russia back to the Olympics.

5. I'd bet money on it

2. I can see that

With his moves on the Kennedy Center and other institutions. He will want to make it an invitation event, with him sending the invitations. And of course his wrestling friends will become the producers.

3. Very good

chance that IOC will change venue if this keeps there will be a boycott, didn't it happen to Russia.
