Oh my God! Say it isn't so! I can't believe the U.S. Olympic Committee is looking at Philadelphia as a potential site!!

That city is just soooooo nasty.

There have got to be better places!

well at least the European soccer fans will think that the Philly fans aren't brutal. I don't like Philly myself but that place does have a lot to offer, it has great food, it has a lot of sports tradition. It is the most hitoric city in college basketball, it has a lot of American history in it (was the capital before DC), Liberty bell, Rocky stairs, and the people their love their sports, they may not express it in a reasonable manner but they are passionate about their sports teams. I think its fine.

Although I have gone to Philly several times and by no means consider myself a frequent customer, I just find that city to be very dirty and nasty. Aren't there any cleaner cities out there?

Sure, it's rich in history and it has Pat's steaks, but damn....

No.

Never.

I think D.C. has some history in it? Just maybe.

Was the capital before D.C., so what. Liberty Bell, yeah, gotta be proud of a porrly designed old bell. The rocky stairs, as much as I love Rocky, I dont think the fact that those stairs represent Philthy qualifies them as a significant aspect of American history.

I live here, or the burbs and no way in hell it comes here. It's a dumb, not that some other big cities aren't much better, NYC, DC, Chicago, Balt. I doubt seriously it will come here.
