Speaking of Siegel, USATF still hasn't responded to my request for comment...
I just laughed out loud. Seriously, rojo, you're a joke. Why on earth would he respond to you?

Why on earth? Maybe because almost anyone seriously interested in the sport reads Letsrun and part of your responsibility as CEO is to be in touch with people who are involved in the sport.
The TV views for Olympic T&F and Olympics Marathons are 1,000 times the WC 2017 London, NYC Marathon, WC 2013 Moscow, Berlin Marathon, WC 2015 Beijing, etc.
Los Angeles has sunshine 52 weeks each year
The IOC should build in Los Angeles permanent venues to host each and every year, quarterly Olympic Games in the sun and warmth of Southern California
1) January: Winter Track and Field
2) April: Marathon, 1/2 Marathon, Ekiden.
3) July: Summer Track and Field
4) November: Cross Country
The IOC should then use the savings on wasteful one-shot construction costs as prize money for the Olympians

Robbie’s not the only one who’s ridiculously out of touch.

The big ideas from USATF are finally happening! Max is truly earning his salary with this one!! Breaking news from an email I received just a few minutes ago:
"USATF Infrastructure Upgrade On Friday, August 5, 2022, USATF will be installing a new enterprise wide telephone system. As we migrate telephone numbers from one service provider to another and test, there will be periods of downtime during which our customer service and staff will be unable to be contacted by telephone. The customer service numbers and staff contacts will remain the same. We fully anticipate that our telephone service will be fully functional on Monday, August 8 at 8:30 am ET. We ask for your patience during this time."

LA is a joke. Nobody went to the pro meet that was held at Carson in the 90s. Attendance was abysmal. Outside of the Olympics, no one cares. The Mt. Sac fan attendance is weak. The LA Marathon is a 3rd tier race whose numbers grow smaller every year. Santa Monica kicked them out because they didn't want to deal with it. Multiple indoor meets have all disappeared. Weather may be nice along the coast, even with all the smog and air pollution, but people don't go to pro track meets in LA either.

L.A. is the best place in history for Olympics Track and Field. L.A. sold 1,000,000 tickets for each of the 1932 and 1984 Olympics Track and Field at the Coliseum. 2028 Olympics Track and Field will be no different.
Lanana and Goe live in small, isolated. low value, unimportant, flyover areas of the US. They have no influence on the $trillion dollar L.A./Hollywood TV sports industry.
