Sorry Chicago, Rio de Janeiro is better

America has lost the war on olympics, it would appear. Of course, is it really that big of a surprise?

It's true, see here

Meh, Oympics has gotten exceedingly boring, rarely (if ever) watch it on the tele as is.

I wish they would get rid of all the nonsense garbage like Oluympic snow boarding, bicycling, walking and just go back to the basics, like the Greeks had.

So why are the conservatives celebrating this as a victory considering the US just lost $20,000,000,000 in revenue?

The second question is why they would want to host the Olympics in a city so dangerous that many rich people and businessmen choose to commute by helicopter?

At least for women's beach volleyball, it will be on a real beach. And I think the contestants actually have real boobs, too.

Like all things sports somebody wins, somebody loses...eh. Personally i don't care. It's kinda a bummer about the lost revenue but it is what it is.

Having to both Rio(albiet many years ago) and Chicago I think Rio is a far more exciting place.

In regards to conservative 'victory,' could be that they think 'Well, Obama is from there... and the Olympics are not happening there... so HAHA.'

Rio has become a very dangerous place itself in recent years. So much so it has severely impacted tourism in a very negative way.

Because they hate Obama.

I was talking about Rio. If I was talking about Chicago I would have peppered that with a fat joke, don'tcha know.

It's true, see here

A war to get the olympics? aren't the olympics about bringing the whole world together to take part in a common interest: sportsmanship and competition and not about bickering about whom should rightfully host it..

Wars divide, the Olympics unite. Who cares what city or country it's in.

And i mean war meaning the kind your talking about. The insignificant kind. Notheless it's still a war. A divider.

Some people (and places) just need to get over themselves.
