Reply #28: No way Chicago

[AngryAmish]

First, the Olympics are for second-rate cities trying to make it. Chicago is already there.

Second, do we really need another way to feed money into the pockets of Daley's friends? The Chicago municipal budget functions nicely for that purpose, thankyouverymuch.

Third, Chicago and Illinois are corrupt enough already. The Olympics is possibly the only thing more corrupt than Illinois politics.

Fourth, who needs it? Chicago is not exactly failing as is.


Fifth, the Cubs and White Sox will have to leave town for the duration. I do not want a two week road trip in the middle of a pennant race. Plus, Bears preseason is going on and that must not be interrupted.

Sixth, where the F are you going to put the main stadium? Track and field stadiums are really bad for other sports. (Track means stands are too far from the field and you can't hear the pops in football and we all know how well Olympic stadium in Montreal works for baseball - it sucks balls). They are not going to have it up at Northwestern and there is no other football in Chicago.

Seventh, we just built a football stadium. For HUGE money. A track will not fit.

Keep the Olympics in cow towns like Atlanta. We have a metropolis to run.
