They're at it again.
Didn't they go thru this once before-and tell the IOC to stick it where the sun doesn't shine?
The Metro Denver Sports Commission thinks they can bring an Olympics to Denver. Remember the last time Denver was actually awarded the Games, only to have the tree-huggers vote the Games out of town? Innsbruck, Austria saved the day, and in turn, saved the IOC from major embarassment.
I recall a conversation I had with a senior IOC member in regards to a possible Denver bid. He told me it "would be a cold day in hell" before the IOC would ever award another Games to Denver, all because of "what happened the last time."
Sport Accord to be held in Denver next March is sure to have some hot and heavy discussion regarding any Denver bid. My personal opinion is that Denver would best be served if they forgot about the Olympics and tried to lure another major sports event, such as the Super Bowl to Denver, that would have less risk and less chance of failure, due to the amount of public money that is needed to finance a bid versus committing hundreds of millions of public money that in the end might not be successful.
Save your money, Denver. Your citizens will thank you in the end.
