Why Chicago Didn't Win the Olympic Bid
Despite First Lady Obama's efforts to impress the IOC, Chicago was not be awarded the 2016 Olympic Summer Games. "Why" you ask? Consider the following reasons:
  • Can you imagine a more exotic place that Chicago? How about Madrid, Tokyo or Rio de Janeiro.
  • Exposure to deep dish pizza will cause Chinese gymnasts to grow to their normal size.
  • Chicago legend Mike Ditka has already endorsed Tokyo.
  • IOC members eager to include new events featured on crazy Japanese TV game shows.
  • Former IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch once vowed Chicago could host the games when the Cubs won the World Series.
  • Due to economic collapse, US steroids are now just unrefined horse urine.
  • Theme of Chicago opening ceremonies: What Are You Lookin' At?
  • Spanish Royal Family has promised to supply all the horses for equestrian events. If you ask nicely, maybe they will let the athletes keep them.
  • One name: Steve Bartman.
  • The wind in the "Windy City" will be good for sailing events, but will tangle up the ribbons for rhythmic gymnastics, and everyone knows rhythmic gymnastics rule the games.
  • The Committee is unable to think clearly because still too upset that Winnipeg was not in the running.
  • Tokyo now declared a Tom Cruise-Free Zone.
  • After watching Rene Zellweger squint her way through "Chicago", no movie fan could ever support the city.
