LA’s Rolls-Royce logo was also good for 2028.

Budapest has been out of the race for some time... fortunately.

Eh. I saw an article about how LA is cool with Paris getting 2024 since Paris also had it in 1924. LA is all but guaranteed 2028, because the Olympic committee does recognize it has most of the buildings already to go. It also gives LA more time to get their public transit up to the challenge.

Not gonna lie, for a second I thought “it would be a decent logo except for that green check. What the hell is that even for?”

So they gave it to a country that has a functional economy for the first time in two decades. That’s probably a good thing.

Ever tried going around LA/California without a car? Tons of fun! Now imagine when millions of people from all around the world have to take this non-existing public transport multiple times a day to attend competition.. yeah... Nope.

Well, at least LA gets it in 2028. I’ll be 28 by then.
