What are the chances of that ever happening 
We can host mardi gras and the Essence Fest, so the Olympics could be a breeze lol.

It's certainly logistically possible, and I'd love to see it one day, but the leadership in New Orleans is just way too incompetent and corrupt to handle it.

New Orleans would have a better chance then a lot are laughing about, in this thread. It is already an extremely popular sporting event destination (super bowl, college bowl games, final 4s). Very popular tourism. The city being redone for the Olympics could be seen as a big positive and could be a way to get the city back where it was before the Hurricane. I agree that the leadership in the city is the big problem and would never be able to handle the responsibility that came along with it. I don't know if the U.S. government could just take over all of that.

Even if we could pull it off, I would think that the Olympics being during hurricane season would mean we'd never even be considered.

Funny or not?
WOW, what a Question? The answer is yes, with the right Dream Team....and the city that hosts the olympics gets a big hunk of change from the feds to do it....New Orleans would do well with it...

Only if crack smoking and tourist killing were admitted as a sport
