I’m actually excited about LA. We are using a lot of old facilities, and I have family that lives close by. Gonna take my eight year old son to see the opening ceremony and some games, I think it will be a great experience.

Very insightful observation.

Except… it’s not Always good for the locals… like when countries bulldoze neighborhoods to build stadiums… that’s not always the case. But it’s not super rare either.

Proteas and semi-finals

Tourists in Mexico already are protected. While attacks do happen they almost always involve the tourist putting themselves in a dangerous position and pissing off the cartels. Millions of tourists visit Mexico every year completely safely. Which again the cartels are perfectly happy with as they are directly profiting from this.

That’s an interesting point, so I will remove my comments about cartels kidnapping.

But in your opinion, why do you think the government would be able to protect the tourist? And why is it that they don’t already protect the tourist?

Not even the poll vaulters?

Neither LA nor Brisbane are building much new and neither are building anything that doesn’t have a long time permanent use (other than temporary stands for things like sand volleyball). Cities will continue to bid, but I think it will mostly be cities with existing facilities.

They’re going to host it in Sinaloa, and El Chapo’s kids are going to fund the stadiums construction.

Okay troll, whatever makes you feel holier than thou.

Next time, simply dont lie.

South Africa and chasing records Name a better combo

Nice cherry picking, and with intentional omission, no less. You should get into politics.

I said, "SOME of the worst air quality imaginable."

Next time, simply don't alter a quote to give yourself a non-issue to respond to.

It helps when the pitch is a road and square boundaries are 60m.

That's incredible

Ask the cartel permission

"No; she played them of her own accord"

Accurate.
