That’s Right Nate

I really haven’t been able to figure out how to react to the news that Chicago lost the Olympics.   At first, I was a big proponent of bringing the Olympics to Chicago because I am a big believer in the Olympic spirit of kicking the crap out of the rest of the world to prove that your country is supreme.  I also hoped that it would start a landslide of gentrification through Chicago with the police finally crapping down on homeless vagrants in the poorer parts of the city.  I knew that the city would probably be about $5 billion in debt when the dust cleared, but I’d get to see beach volleyball players up close.

However, as soon as President Obama began to publicly support the Olympics my attitude changed.  I know for one that that anytime Barrack Hussein Obama is involved with an international group like the IOC, it is because he is working on creating a new world order or alternatively apologizing for American domination.  I also don’t see how we really lose out as a city by not getting to see the greatest ping pong players in all of Finland or the greatest cyclists in all of Bulgaria.   Let’s face it what America does best is self-storage and it is unlikely we would really be able to put our prowess on display at the Olympic games.

Now, that we lost to Rio I am outraged.   Didn’t we launch a coup in Brazil and put a puppet government in place in the 50s?   What kind of puppet government is this?   If we had thought Brazil was a real threat we should have let them know that we didn’t approve of them competing with us.   The obvious answer to this slight is for Chicago to hold their old Olympics in 2016 and give athletes a choice to go to either games.  The Olympics give out medals, but we could give out cold hard cash.   Let’s put capitalism to work for us and let the world cry out “U-S-A! U-S-A!”
