In fact, it was the first city to be eliminated...

You beat me to it.

Too bad for Chicago. It's not the end of the world but on CNN they act like it's the worst thing that ever happened.:rolleyes:

I'm glad it won't be here, but I'm a little surprised that we were out in the first round of voting.

To be completely honest, I thought Tokyo would be out first.

Here's hoping!

I'm kind of hoping for Madrid.:D

I'm kinda sad about it, it would have been cool to have it here...but oh well! I am very surprised we went out so early, though...

I hope so!

Is this why people FB status' are all about Chicago and how they are sorry for the people or "thinking" of the people of Chicago?

To all my FB friends, it's not the end of the world. Chicago and the people in it will live to see another day.

NBA season is coming soon.

Welp, guess I won't be going to the Olympics in 2016, then.

CNBC was calling it to be between Rio and Chicago this morning. I guess they should stick to reporting only to business.

I think it probably will be Rio for the reason already stated. And the article made a couple of interesting points about some of the things that could have effected the chances of Chicago getting it. Also there is the fact that the United States has held 8 Olympics, far more then any other country.

OMG for serious...Everyone on Facebook was acting like this was the worst thing that has ever happened to them...big deal!!

And congrats to Rio! (NinjaPoodle, I LOVE those little animations!!!)
