Aside from the fact that Stephanie Hightower and Max Siegel are in bed with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, for international political reasons the Arabs and Muslims are guaranteed to knock down any US attempt at hosting the Summer Games or FIFA World Cup.

Each NFL team has received free public funds to build stadiums and pay players so why shouldn't USOC receive a few hundred billion dollars for free from public coiffers.
Why do we still put up with the NFL?
Bread and Circuses!
LA is the only one with a realistic chance. Boston and SF are too cramped and don't have an in city stadium or room for one and DC is a complete dump.
LA doesn't have a stadium either, but they could easily build one.

The SoCal troll. Needs to go away.

I will pretend that you didn't write that last line of your post. I will pretend that you actually know what is going on.
But L.A. already has had two spectacular Summer Olympic Games and continuously is the world destination of hundreds of international championships sports events. USC and UCLA are already the #1 and #2 Olympics medal schools. San Franciso already hosted several Olympics sports during the L.A. games. Plus Stanford and California are the #3 and #4 Olympics medal schools. I think we should give Washington, D.C. and Boston a chance at expanding horizons for the U.S.O.C. bid. It's only fair to spread the love around.
It really doesn't matter, it's going to Istanbul, they are next in line for quite some time now. Then South Africa and India will be next after that.

Randy Miyazaki. He's the Track and Field Photo guy and a notorious Letsrun troll.
Anytime there's a thread about Los Angeles, Olympic Fat Cats, Hamas/CIA/Z*onism/Palestine, Navy SEALS/Special Forces, Unix (although he's been quiet on this one lately), and a few other subjects, you can bet he started it.
Once you recognize his style (lists separated by commas in the thread title, sensationial postings, pretending to be a college student asking baited questions, etc.), you can see his favorite themes. He's pretty much harmless, but he's relentless.
Anyone who says DC is a dump has never been to DC - or at least not in the past 10 years.
DC is the richest city in the United States per capita, 2nd most educated, one of the fast growing, and probably the newest in terms of all of the recent construction -- DC looks like a real city, but is new.
It absolutely crushes those other cities. The only knock on DC is that is terribly small - but the public transportation system is great.
In 1984, USC and UCLA hosted thousands of officials and athletes in their dorms.
Olympic Foundations organize national events in LA with thousands of volunteers to reduce costs.

Also Mongol Hordes invading Europe, us all being Africans descended from the rift valley, Iranian nuclear scientists, Defense money in SoCal Universities, Oregon being tracktown, etc.
He is the worst poster on these whole boards.

Don't forget Shanghai Rankings!
I've been to DC twice in the past three years and it was gross. I couldn't wait to leave.
In Vanishing Point, I covered the story of a guy named Kowalski who almost made it from Denver to Frisco in 15 hours. And he called it Frisco.

No-one in the Bay Area would ever call it Frisco.
Steve Prefontaine, winner of 3 Olympic Gold Medals, would want the 2024 Summer Olympics in Seattle, world reknowned as the USA Rift Valley of Distance Running.

DC is none of those things, in fact they are dead last in most of those categories.
It is one gigantic crime infested ghetto. Hell on Earth.
