NYC Olympics

The Olympics should be held in the same city every time, and that city should be New York given that it is the financial, cultural, and sporting capital of the world.

No, fuck you. We're crowded enough with the local sports stadiums. Jew York could never handle the Olympics.

fuck off flyover trash, the aussie is onto something here

fuck off, we're full

fine since I live in the same time zone

Agreed 100%.

Can't wait to see the seething millennials try to argue against this solid logic.

Fuck off, New Jersey scum

I just want to see how cycling/deathmarch would go horribly wrong.

And Afghanistan takes the gold in the twin tower vault.

No way

How would it go wrong in New York compared to anywhere else?

>sporting capital
That would be London, which has Wembley, the home of football (the world's most popular sport), Wimbledon (the most prestigious tennis tournament), Twickenham, and is a two time former Summer Olympic host.

All I want is an Olympic Stadium that can hold the Jests. So yes please.

Hell fucking no

>new york is the sporting capital of the world
I'm glad people finally admit this.

I don't understand the samefagging

You could've had that if they'd built the West Side Stadium

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Side_Stadium

Rockefeller Center for weightlifting and Boxing at the Hammerstein. Imagine it boys...

>Sandnigger decides to cheat and drives a truck into a crowd of cyclists

>3000+ dead, what a record for these first-timers
>BBC sport will update the audience shortly with what is a first in Olympics history

Yes, yes I know. Dolan fucked with everything then.

Okay that would be sweet. But still, no.

>sporting capital of the world
>Literally every team there sucks dick

London is the most important city in the world.

It outperforms New York in every way except jews per capita

>sports
>he city of jest
>the city of niggerbockers
>the city of rags
>the city of mets

>Convert Metlife stadium into a track and field stadium every 4 years.

No thanks.

Forgot to add that New York is also the fashion capital of the world.

No no no, build one in Queens or north Manhattan

Not like the Jets or Giants are doing anything worthwhile with the space.

"no"

not since #BrexitYOLO it won't be

>mfw, the Olympic venues would be built in New Jersey

>Queens
looks like the Islanders are going to get the Willets Point site though
the best place for an nfl stadium would probably be at the nassau coliseum site if nassau didn't have to pay for it

Fuck that. Buy a fucking island and build it up

This actually makes sense. Some island in the Caribbean that can be built up into a tourist destination with a very small population. It would probably cost a fortune though.

can we pool together some funds and buy malta?

>ioc
>wouldn't have the funds for this

They do but why would they when they could just do it in some third world shit hole and spend less?
I was thinking Dominica.

Kek

Honestly if we're picking the best overall city uj the US to hold the olympics every 4 years, San Diego should be the top pick unanimously because of how good the city is especially during August

>Perfect weather
>not crowded as fuck like LA or NY
>availability of good beaches
>very few undesirable slums and ghetto areas
>literally the top summer destination within the US

the only thing lacking is a definitive sports culture because of how mediocre SD sports is and the lack of accomodating areas and venues (which will be fixed once preparation for the first olympics begins)

san diego is the nicest american city ive ever been to

very clean and relatively safe/quiet

that said it's kind of a small city to host the summer olympics

agreed to be honest with you familia

>all those taxes on everything

Athens.

people barely gave a shit about london before and it became 10x more irrelevant after brexit

New York is a humid hellhole in August because it's made of concrete, and concrete are great conductors of heat.

Just today, it was 106 F/41 C with the heat index. Tomorrow, it's going to be hotter.

Host the Olympics in Cleveland and watch the shitstorm.

Other New Yorkers are boring fags. It should definitely come here. We already have the facilities. Just the only problem we have is that we need a main stadium.

But we New Yorkers hate any inconvenience in traveling with our trains and buses. But the US will give us enough money to cover that. Security is already super tight here, lol. And it's the safest big city too. Just don't go to East New York or Brownsville, Brooklyn and you will be fine.

>flyovers think they're being cool and edgy by hating on New York

Nobody hates New York more than people who live there. Then they move out and talk about how great it is

Even is you were going to do that (which would be stupid, IMO, and completely contrary to the Olympic spirit). Los Angeles would be 1000% times more appropriate than New York.

New York is too crowded and lacks venues (as it is, the football teams play in New Jersey), plus outside of the music industry (which is pretty evenly split), the U.S. entertainment industry is largely centered in Los Angeles. It's mostly just the news media that is based in New York.

All you have to do is look at the clusterfuck that was the New York 2012 bid to know that that it's a bad site.

Also
>sporting capital of the world
The fuck are you smoking? Aside from the Yankees, none of the major New York professional teams is even close to being the premiere franchise in its respective sport. The only annual sporting events in New York City which draw even a significant national. let alone international, level of interest are the Belmont Stakes (horse race), the U.S. Open tennis tournament, and the N.Y.C. Marathon (which is bigger, but less prestigious historically, than the Boston Marathon). Of those, only the marathon is held in Manhattan (Flushing Meadows, where the Open is held, is in Queens, and Belmont Park is outside of the city, in Nassau County).

New York has never hosted the Olympics. New Yorkers themselves don't even want the games, which is why the city decided not to bid for 2024.

Los Angeles has hosted twice in the past, and is a finalist for 2024. It already has some of the venues and space to build more, because it isn't built on a densely-packed island with some of the highest-priced real estate in the world. It also has the superior climate. Plus, polls show that the residents actually want to host the 2024 games.

>it's a cuckifornia poofter shit talks New York (aka Heaven on Earth) and talks up Los Plebeles episode

>two time
3 you dolt

>the only problem we have is that we need a main stadium.
Which is a deal-breaker.

And you're not going to get one any time soon, either.

Plus, can anyone really see beach volleyball in NYC? Where are they gonna do that?Coney Island? The Rockaways?

>safest big city
In the U.S., maybe.

>Just don't go to East New York or Brownsville, Brooklyn and you will be fine.
Or East Harlem, or the South Bronx....

East Harlem really ain't dangerous.

Occasional shooting but it's being gentrified as fuck.

Only part of Harlem I do not fuck with in any form or fashion is Polo Grounds.

Also, it can be in both. They probably have it at Rockaway Beach because it's nicer.

Not even from Cali. I'm from New England and in fact, I've never even been west of Missouri. But I have been to New York City many times. It's not a bad place, but it would be a horrible place to hold the Olympics (Boston would have been awful, too). Even Washington or Philadelphia would be a better choice. IMO, if the games ever come back to this part of the world, it really should be to Montreal again.

completely agree

queens here

well he's right that LA is more spread out, it looks like a midget city to some people because it was built horizontally, not vertically.

Polo Grounds is technically Washington Heights, not Harlem.

>financial, cultural, and sporting capital of the world
Financial is arguable. Sporting is a joke. Cultural? Not in my world.

>queens here


WE WUZ QUANS

delete this

That's Chinatown.

Keep that shit out of Philly. They are already taxing soda here to bail out our failing public schools. I don't need to pay even more for 20 facilities they'll only use every 4 years.

The only place with enough room in NYC for it is in Queens. Might be a good excuse to finally fix up the old World's Fair grounds.

You want to ruin the traffic for everyone going and leaving work? FUCK OFF

>Flushing

Might as well have the Olympics in China.

isn't Flushing where the Mets play or something?

Fuck off faggot, city's full and there's not room to make a stadium.

what about Las Vegas?

maybe new york can use the olympics as an excuse to kick out all of their poor people. like beijing and rio

Most of the bigger events will probably be held in New Jersey, but they'll still call it New York like the two football teams lol

jej

the city doesn't have the money, just the casinos.

There's no place for rowing events, Lake Mead looks fucking depressing. There's also not enough stadiums.

Though it would be nice to see all the race walkers die in 110+ F heat.

Would pay to see some heat related deaths desu

Plus they have no water.

>Jersey
Secaucus is not exactly something we want to focus the attention of the entire world on.

It may be dominant in the fields of finance and international diplomacy but a definitive sporting capital it is not.

Take it from me, children.

New York is THE number 1 city on the planet, and absolutely deserves to be the eternal Olympic city.

New York City has no room. That's why their stadiums are in New Jersey.
I'd like to see the Olympics in Australia, why wouldn't you?
As for US cities, I'd go with one of thesw three:
Miami (home to Orange Bowl)
New Orleans (Sugar Bowl)
San Diego (Holiday Bowl)

That would be NYC, London, Paris and Milan

>70258467
>Move to The Isle of Olympia
>Get a job mowing grass or something for the stadiums
>Free attendance to the Olympics for life
Why can't this be my life?

fuck that get aware with your stupid tuorsts and traffic bull shit NOOOO

the residents of NYC literally wouldn't want it

I lived there during the SuperBowl and most people saw it as a pain in the ass inconvenience in an already packed city

that's why they tried to offload as much of it to jersey as possible

Is Gossip Girl an accurate depiction of New York?

its a semi accurate depiction of a very small part of New York

no. Broad City is more accurate or High Maintenance, or Frances HA, or Woody Allen movies.

broad city captures some of the mentality pretty well, the places they go and avoid

dont want to ruin san diego with shitty olympic projects

This is how small the apartments are in New York.

calling new york cultural and sporting capital of the world is absolutely retarded

hah epic upvoted

I think the country that wins the olympics should host the next games

yep, per capita, that is ofc

Fuck man, we're so crowded we can't even bring the New York Jets and Giants into our city and keep them in Jersey.

New York City Pty Ltd.

Please don't remind me... subway platforms are ultra shit, and I always seem to get on the 1 when its not running ac. Plus,

>even more tourists in Manhattan in the summer

pls no

East Harlem gentrifying? No, not really. It's just not as bad as it was 10 years ago. I used to live there, now I'm in regular Harlem with all the french fine dining up Lenox. Shit's hilarious, my dude.

Either do it in California or STFU and let it stay in Greece. We are the only State in the US that Should be top of the list to host any Major Sports Event (Olympics, FIFA World Cup, ETC.

But anons, don't you like the new, fabulous Hudson Yards project? :^)

>North Manhattan

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
m-muh comfy 3 train
