I just picture Serious Sam but with a Mexican theme.

I knew a guy named Sasha who was a rower for the Polish team. He at the 1968 Mexico City Games when they killed all those Israeli athletes. He was in the building across and could see right into the window where they were.

That said I thought the US, Canada and Mexico were supposed to apply together? They would not build new but would use existing stadiums (8 in the US, 4 in Mexico and 2 in Canada?, or something like that?)

Those damn trash cans change his life

Should it even be called Mexico at this point. Or just the cartel

The cartel situation its bad In just some states like Zacatecas and tamaulipas, in most cities you ill not see cartels of you aré not looking into illegal stuff, in my almost 30 years i have never experiences any type of violence and i live in central México in a non turístic area

Do you mean the Olympics? There is no need to say summer Olympics, just like horseback riding and eye glasses no need

The mexican army budget is in the billions, they definitely have a lot more firepower than the cartels, the cartels have to ambush little patrol squads when they want to take on the military because otherwise they get completely destroyed 99% of the times, the real problems aré the engagement rules of the army and the inneficient strategy of the current federal government that makes very hard to effectively fight the cartels

I think Jomboy has basically replaced what Sportscenter used to be for where I get my highlights, not just for baseball

Mexico has already hosted the Olympics… in 1968. And they have the infrastructure to support it. Maybe they could expand public transportation but the stadiums for the soccer teams are generally new, in the process of being built, or will be completely renewed by that time.

I think this is something that wouldn’t be a huge problem to host in a city like Monterrey, Mexico City, or Guadalajara. It would most likely be in Monterrey though.

I'm pretty sure by 2040 their country will be part of the Brigand State of Oaxaca. The Olympics will be cancelled when the New Canaan athletes poison the Emirate Union and the new Holy Province of Long Island launches their nukes.

South Africa, choking with zero help for a loooooong time

South Africa and choking world cups

Explain how Mexico isn't run by the cartels currently. I mean Mexico has 7 of the top 10 most violent cities in the world for FFS: https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/the-most-dangerous-cities-in-the-world.html

Too much anti Mexican racism here.I’m out

Care to enlighten me on the geopolitics of Mexico? I’m waiting

:(

As long as the Olympic Committee gets paid they’ll go anywhere.

Who do you think drew up the proposal?

They probably suggested it.

Not only would they provide security, at a literally extortionate rate, but also the building materials, contractors, laborers, vendors, ect ect.

I’m not sure I agree, it’s just difficult when the cartels are bringing in more money in arms than the government has in military and police budgets.

That’s just where the problem starts. The cartel’s also have long infiltrated the police and military. So asking them to move on the cartels presents a problem. There’s not a lot of easy solutions.
