Summer Games should be held in L.A. on permanent basis, and Winter Games in an alpine setting with no need to make snow
The question not only would tease Hercule Poirot’s abundant little gray cells, but also the few I haven’t killed off: Which of our major sporting events will be gone come 2096?
I use 2096 because it would mark the 200th anniversary of the Thoroughly Modern Olympics. It’s a birthday I can see without a cake, candles and wishes.In their present form, operated by greedy fools and mortared with explosive drug scandals, they can’t survive.The Olympics were meant to unify nations by the true definition of fair competition.
To survive this century, the IOC has to stop selling its product to the highest bidder, bankrupting cities and states, and settle down. The Summer Games should be permanently held in L.A. — where basically nothing has to be built — and the Winters in an alpine setting with no need to make snow and doesn’t look like Chernobyl.Baseball, which now has moved back into labor unrest to join mystifying analytics only seamheads can relate to, is tobogganing.
