USA will get another Summer Olympics in the 2020's, probably 2024 or 28. By then, attitudes may have changed here regarding Olympics funding. However, the US is a big federation dominated by parochial attitudes, you can't expect the Fed to fund the olympics here. The country is not united, and the South hates the Northern cities. Really, USA is a failing union. I mean, there are people cheering with glee b/c ''evil northern liberal Chicago" failed and are using it here as a weapon against Obama. The only time this country seems to unite and come together is when a major catastrophe occurs.

The US has had quite a few games recently, but so has Europe. Although Europe isn't one country, it still should not have so many games in such a short period of time. I hope Europe doesn't get the games until at least 2028. Barcelona, Athens, Torino, London, Sochi.... no way Rome or Madrid gets it in 2020. I'm shocked that 2012 went back to europe so soon after Athens.

Europe seems to think it should get the games every 2 times or so, when Asia is far more populated. I predict 2020 will go to Asia but probably not India (not ready) and China will get the 2018 games. Africa will have to wait until after we see how Rio goes.

The World Cup would be far more valuable for the US then the olympics...a 2022 World cup for the US would be fantastic... thats 28 years between cups, which doesn't seem like a huge issue.
