Boston chosen over D.C. as U.S. candidate for 2024 Summer Olympics

DENVER, Colo. (AP) - The U.S. Olympic Committee chose Boston to bid for the 2024 Games in an attempt to bring the Summer Olympics to America after a 28-year gap.

During a daylong meeting at the Denver airport, USOC board members chose Boston over Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, all of which have been lobbying to become the American choice for more than a year.

Boston joins Rome as the only other city that has officially decided to bid. Germany will submit either Hamburg or Berlin, with France and Hungary among those also considering bids. The International Olympic Committee will award the Games in 2017.

    4:55 you have any idea how much money that would have been sucked out of the tax payers for a losing cause? It would not have generated any revenue and all that would have been left is abandoned buildings that the tax payers would have bought.

    That is a blessing not to been "ripped off" more tax dollars in hosting this crap. It has been proving to be a major waste of tax dollars and many of these sites they have to build to host these games in most of the past areas now sit empty and falling apart and not being used and was at taxpayers expense to host and then watch the site"s" go to waste.
