Los Angeles Now the Likely U.S. Olympic Bid for 2016

Submitted by Mike Lambert, Nov 29, 2006 18:13

Although the author makes many valid points, wouldn't it have been a more balanced story if he included the facts that LA1984 and Salt Lake City 2002 turned profits. Just like any other business endeavor there is a right way and a wrong way to pull off a successful and fiscally responsible Olympics. Since Mr. Ueberoroth is widely credited with saving the modern Olympic movement with his stewardship of the last LA Games I think we can trust him to lead the factfining mission for Summer2016.
