LOL, this is an awesome article from the "Red Eye," this newspaper in Chicago thats a branch of the Chicago Tribune aimed towards the younger agegroup (college students). In many aspects, its better than the Tribune, and funnier. Anyway, today they published an article in their "Chicago" section called "Da Games" which talks about what would happen if the 2016 Summer Olympics came to chicago. Its awesome, except the fact that the writer is a Sox fan and bashes the cubbies :angry: Rankin might see the hidden irony in this. Here's the article word for word:
Venues
Shooting: Site of St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Lincoln Park, and named in honor of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Baseball: All games played at U.S. Cellular field. Wrigley Field was torn down in 2011 after the Cubs realized Chicago had become a Sox town and moved to Las Vegas.
Basketball and Boxing: An exact replica of old Chicago Stadium is built where Wrigley Field used to sit. The neighborhood goes berserk.
Table Tennis: Held in the garden apartment of a couple of guys who live in Lincoln Park.
Olympic Village: All athletes will be housed with a Chicago resident from their native country. Either that, or they can stay in the Trump Tower.
