@chicagoguy19 True, but the pitch as similar to the IOC, and this video was certainly out there and available as an international pitch.

I remember listening on radio to the vote and the local announcer's disbelief over Chicago being kicked out first. The politics of the process makes it unlikely a major U.S. city will make a serious bid again for several rounds. The Europe-dominated IOC is heavily biased against the U.S. and Daley lost serious cred over the wasted time and resources.

@DFDalton1962 this waas not to the IOC this was to the USOC when chicago was competing against Los angeles for the right to represent the USA

What a lame pitch. No wonder Chicago lost. As if the IOC cared about architecture or about some fire in 1871? And what about the inclusion of images of a cold, snowy, desolate park as the site for a SUMMER olympic stadium?

This was awful.
