“In London during the 2012 Games, we saw how Olympic sport united communities and revitalized neighborhoods," Leonsis said in a statement. "We believe our bid for the games will serve as a powerful catalyst for community and economic development already underway across the region.”
A Summer Olympics would finally put D.C. on par with Chicago, Boston, NYC and Los Angeles.
I've been to Boston several times and it's really not that great of a place especially if you're a Black person. Chicago and LA are fine, but Boston... Give me a break!!

Lol Boston maybe the odd ball there. Respectable and historic American city, but I would say the only cities DC has to "chase" or "catch up to par" are NYC, LA, CHI, arguable SF.
The Olympics often brings no benefits, and often big budgetary problems to the city that does host. Never mind the complete nightmare in terms of traffic and the metro.
No thanks.

Please, no Olympics.
Besides, I like it when they are in exotic locales.
