When I was young, and if I wanted to play with a toy, my little sister would invariably want it too. We would get into an argument, “I want it.” “No, I want it.” “I wanted it first.” “No, I wanted it first.” Our parents would get annoyed and decide the matter for us, typically in her favor because she was younger, and then she didn’t want it anymore, which would annoy our parents even more.
I don’t know her purpose — did she want it? did she just want to keep me from having it? did she only want it because i wanted it?
The US Olympic Committee was looking for a city to bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Four cities were in competition. Boston won. Having won the competition, Boston decided they don’t want to host the Olympics after all. The USOC will probably not have a chance to select another city, and instead will probably not bid for the 2024 Olympics.
Boston effectively prevented the other three cities from even having a chance at hosting the Olympics by insisting on having something it didn’t want. There needs to be sanctions against Boston.
