Chicago citizens gathering in downtown where shocked when the cities bid was the first of the
four eliminated
The IOC announced on Friday that the 2016 Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Brazil seemed to be a global favorite for hosting the games even though hosting the games in the
South American city will present more obstacles than any other of the four final cities that were
in the running.
So we all know that Rio will be hosting the 2016 Olympics... but the man of the
moment has to be Felipe Andreoli, the host of CQC, a popular TV
show in Latin America and parts of Europe (you may remember this Chilean tipo teasing
players at the Bernabeu).
The Brazilian legend is trying everything he can to get Rio the 2016 Olympics.
How greedy can they be down there right? The 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics?
Pele also had a slip o' the tongue and said 'Michael Jackson' when he meant to say 'Michael
Jordan'.
Ouch.
My apologies to all of you who found this post looking for something else. Sometimes wordplay is
just impossible to resist, even at the expense of my site's spam blockers.
Anyway, if you're still reading this after realizing this isn't what you thought it was, I was
down at Daley Plaza this morning to see if Chicago would get the 2016 Summer Games.
While we never really had a chance to land the 2016 Olympics in Chicago (since we just had the 2002
Winter Games and South America has never held one), its astonishing to see how giddy the
conservatives are that the Windy City was the first one voted out.
Whatever happened to that slogan from the McCain campaign; Country First?

concerning soccer at TCF Bank Stadium
Just this past month we learned that Chicago lost out on a bid to host the 2016 Olympics. The
University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium was on a short list to host Olympic soccer should
Chicago have won that bid.
