What do you think the odds are that Eric Garcetti can sign the agreement now? It's the agreement, or a US Olympics. The IOC can't have both.
Should be zero chance of LA committing to a bid that hasn't received much if any public scrutiny, but I am not familiar with the level of public corruption in LA.
That certainly takes the pressure off Governor Baker quite a bit.
USOC and IOC are losing a lot of credibility in this process and undermining any potential US bid for 2024 or even 2028. Especially if they vote to switch horses at the 11th hour and go with the "safe" bid.
Why should any city spend even this much time and effort on a bid when the process is so uncertain.
I know the USOC has been burned by Chicago and New York's bids falling apart in the recent past, but the issues there were nearly the same as they are here in Boston. At some point you have to stop blaming the Cities and take a hard look at the USOC and the IOC process.
