Chicago TV Anchors In Disbelief At Chicago’s Elimination

Sandra Rose October 2, 2009

LOL @ the one anchor saying, “What? Did we hear that right?” Yeah, you heard that right!

I don’t know why the Chicago anchors were in disbelief. The decision was between ducking bullets in Chicago or sipping Daiquiris on the beach in Rio. I mean, that’s a no-brainer. I’m sure the Olympic Committee members watched the news this past week from Chicago. They know what’s going on.

I think Barack and Oprah needed this defeat to bring their egos back down to earth.

And again just in case you didn’t catch it…

“For years now, the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro has made just about every short list for the world’s most violent and dangerous cities. Plagued by violent gun crime, assassinations and drug-trafficking, nearly 50,000 people have died of crime-related violence in Rio between 1978 and 2000.

The city’s crime problem was put on display once again this year for the entire world to see during the annual Carnaval celebration in Rio. Despite the deployment of nearly 10,000 police officers, the festivities were still marred by unusally high instances of robbery, assault and violence.”

They’re number six in the WORLD…is chi-town?

Rio huh????

——————————-
well don’t sip too much in rio cause they violent down there too! you might get kidnapped, kilt, messed up…nah skip the dranks and be on your “A game” down there if rio indeed gets the green light.

furthermore i don’t see nathan wrong with them trying to bring the games to chi. alot of what is going on there is gonna need more than coverage and debates to fix. it is gonna need money. more police power. more educational opportunities, etc. all of that requires money. so they were trying to generate a buck for that city. the cities get alot of money upfront to prep for the games. i know atl got alot of folks working during the time the city was preparing for the ’96 games.

omg! this has to be one of the happiest days of my life..lol obama can go sit his gullible self somewhere and “work“ as for oprah she must really be thinking she`s the sh!t..what were they thinking..lmao
flyqtnva

@kcicero…idk..but thats a 20 year span how many for chicago…and being that we ARE THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH…ISNT THIS UNACCEPTABLE period..that jet ride alone could have afforded more officers…and what was obama doing while he was in the Senate for that state…its appalling and another child was beaten last night…im just confused on this issue…

tupac said it best

THEY SAY IT ANIT NO HOPE FOR THE YOUTH BUT THE TRUE IS IS ANIT NO HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

@KWALL

seems like a temp fix to the economy we need something more solid???
kwall

ok so rio got it…oh well

sadly what happened in past years when the games touched down in America is gonna mar the opportunity for them to return back here for a LONG time. my kids prolly gonna be grown by the time another games comes to America…

It is so uncool that Violence is the Rule Of The Land. What is wrong with the Humans?

*and BEFORE a sandrarose grammar/fact correction police officer comes…when i say “America” i do know that rio is America too…South America. please and thanks.

Well African dude yo life must b pretty miserable if this makes u dat happy. I don’t think chicago shld hv gotten it either due to da high crime and yes Rio has high crime also but once u lv da downtown district in da chi there is really nothing else to do. yes they hv shopping and nice restaruants but then what.
kcicero

@ fly they are number six out of all the major cities in the World, that’s saying something. After taking a class on Brazil I realized just how bad it can get, there EVERYONE is in on crime and drugs and there’s nothing covert about it…

I wasn’t salivating for them to come to Chicago but I do think that fair is fair, if crime was an issue then Chicago against Rio is a Cake compared to a burnt biscuit…
african_dude

@luvly

dont worry about my life, yes you`re probably right i`m miserable so please can i savour my temporary happiness??lol, a brotha deserves it
licia

no matter where they go with the games the violence will still be there. violence is universal.

WEll maybe it just has something to do with people are tired of the USA because in that few years we haven’t done too much to be the greatest nation on earth. The War, The Economy collapse, how we treat people, crime, Katrina. Maybe people are just like I am good. Plus the we are pretty much hated in the middle east, so it may not be a good look on the security for any terror attacks

America organized the olympics during the cold war(inform yourself sometimes),
——————————
inform YOURSELF.

a frenchman organized the modern Olympics. since then a committee called the IOC does it.

In the late 19th century, Baron Pierre de Coubertin was inspired by Olympic festivals to revive the Games. For this purpose, he founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, and two years later, the modern Olympic Games were established in Athens. The IOC has since become the governing body of the Olympic Movement, whose structure and actions are defined by the Olympic Charter.

question…i been gone for awhile til this week..when did folks start all of this name calling and just meanness towards one another on this site? i mean it happened before on here if someone came at someone else sideways and they asked for it…(mullet) but now it just runs amok.

Like it or not, Obama’s our president…we needed this superficial victory because we aren’t winning in anything else.

dear ignorant sista, let me school you a little bit. in 1978 the city of los angeles was selected to host the 1984 olympics games( now for a little history to your clueless self, the cold war ran from the end of the second world war in 1945 till 1991 with the collapse of Berlin wall) i bet you dont even know what the “cold war“ was all about..smh@ the so-called college graduates..lol
now back to los angeles, the award of the games was the culmination of decades of efforts by the southern california committee for the olympic games( sccog). The los angeles was widely acclaimed as the most successful help up at the time…….once again inform yourself..ignorance is worse than AIDS
african_dude

“held up“
kwall

America (North South East or West America)….still does not decide WHERE the games are held. the city of LA coulda been working on it since the beginning of TIME and without the final say vote and approval of the IOC it would not have been. not to mention they won the bid by DEFAULT because it was the only city that submitted a bid.

p.s. the official collapse of the berlin wall was 1989 with the official demolition being in june 1990–not 1991.

BAM!

****daydreaming**** remember when you would come to sandra’s site also known as I rhi rhi dot com and have fun, crack jokes, and give your opinion all with intelligent people who kept it clean and interesting without attacking each other; or if they did attack it didn’t get so damn personal….

Hey SR fam!!! I’m going back to work…

I agree with all you the commenters are way out of line now~~I was called so many uncalled for names yesterday it didn’t make sense..All because I said how I felt~this was one of the main reason I liked to come here and post because the crowd could debate and at the end of the day if you couldn’t see eye to eye it was okay. We could still go to the next post and talk about something else~~Ahh the good ole days…

@ Kweezy…….Welcome to the Ghetto…..LOL

african_dude

first you didnt know we(los angeles) hosted the games during the cold war
– you tried to come up with lame excuses for chicago losing the games
-3rd you went all off-topic talking about the french guy who is the father of the modern olympics( even when the discussion had nothing to do with..smh)
-4th you had to finally agree that the berlin wall did indeed collapse which technically means we indeed had the game during the “cold war“
reading comprehension should be mandatory, i wonder how some of you get jobs, because its obvious it took you forever to get a clue

Life is to short to live in the past..& u started the name calling…

#1 said it all in this post for me. I knew Sandra would be somewhere doing a happy dance when Chicago was elimintated and it had nothing to do with Chicago but because she saw it as a loss for Obama. Using violence here is ridiculous when you look at the violence that happens in Rio. I think they are WAY worse off. Oh well, better luck next time.

As far as the recent change in the SR atmosphere I SAID THIS YESTERDAY who in the hell left the gates open because there have been a lot of disrespecting and name calling that I’ve seen this week. That’s why I’ve been on and off of here. I don’t have time. I like to debate and move on not be calling names or labeled for my beliefs because you feel yours is right.

Now you done wrote a fingerful right there. You need therapy if you are upset about what a commentee, who hides behind an avitar, writes about you. Aren’t you on here commenting both negatively and positively about these celebs? Are they not human?? Don’t they have feelings too?

If you want seriousness, then go to Character Corner. Otherwise, take it down a thousand and have some fun on SR.

I THINK ALOT OF TIMES people be reading to fast or something…because that post about MASHONDA did get way out of hand because someone thought that a ? was an assumption…and the end of the day someone said I must let my husband cheat or something..I dont care & i joked about it…and they kept right on trying to get serious…it didnt phase me cuz i know whats going on in my household…i even been replying to kwall and she never says anything back..which leads me to THINK…she upset and she brings it up again today when I was way over & past all that..so I will go ahead and apologize TO ANY ONE ON THIS BLOG WHO FEELS THE HAVE BEEN OFFENDED BY FLYQTNVA!

I don’t get all the surprise about this either. By the time I left for work this morning the news shows were reporting that it was looking like Chicago or Rio would be chosen. So Rio got chosen. Better luck next time.

After reading a couple of comments I had to see what was the big deal today. Looks like African Dude got beside some folks. I personally didn’t see anything wrong with his first comment that set people off. He has the right to be an Obama hater. This is America after all. As for the mean spirited tone the blog has taken in recent weeks/months, I must agree. I pretty much just skim it these days and don’t comment too much. But after 4 years with my girl Sandra Rose I know it’s just a cycle. It will calm down after a while.
Shauny

attorneymom….really….were you not caught up in your feelings when you thought Daisy kept constantly coming at you even though she said she wasnt? You were asking her if her comments were directed at you every other comment she made. You’ve been there.
***********************************************

If someone comes at you of course you can come back just as hard BUT there are some people who DIDN’T come at anyone and they were still name called and insulted. There is a difference between “throwing a lick and taking one back”.

I’ve been posting for quite a while and this is a place where you came to speak your peace, laugh, debate, get made at Sandra..lol..and keep it moving. That’s what made me BEG Sandra to be a poster on here. There was no 1st, 2nd, etc and when chit got outta hand you saw Sandra squash it.

If I go to work on Friday and come back Monday and chit done changed, ummm yeah, I’m going to speak on it if I continue to see it happening by the end of the week so I guess I need therapy too.

@Shauny, did I once cry about anything you, Daisy or anyone else wrote about me?? Hell nawl. I took it to the chin, threw one back at you and kept it moving. That is, I had fun. SMDH

Now, I just gave your azz some attention. Carry on. Have a great weekend.

Chicago can’t host chicago, let alone the whole damn world. After seeing that disgusting bs at Fenger high school with that kid, I’m pleased that they didn’t get the olympics.
Shauny

attorney I never said anything sidesways to you to begin with, just pointing out that your azz addressed when you thought someone was coming at you so don’t act like people are overracting.

From just observing a lot of what you say (both about the post and other things)You can keep your kind of attention to your damn self though. Enjoy yours too.

Well DAMN (in my best GUCCI voice)

I’m happy Brazil is to host the 2016 Olympic. America already been the host for 8 Olympics. (4 summer games and 4 winter games) This is the first time the Olympic games goes to a south american country, so more power to Brazil. Rio is a beautiful city and I’m sure this means a lot to the Brazilians.
