Quaker2001 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Is Oklahoma City one of those "ten cities: and getting in on Tulsa's act?

I would pick them over Tulsa; I'm new here, but didn't the Tulsa officials say no to the Olympic bid?

Why does the Tulsa 2024 team keep pushing it/ There is no team; it's literally one guy who has been told to knock it off by the city long ago. But GB looooooooooooooooooves Tulsa, so unless you want to see a thousand page new thread my advise is.....don't mention that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Tulsa has really only been a running joke around here. No one takes Tulsa seriously, other than one poor naive soul here who "honestly believes" (& foolish Neil Mavis) that Tulsa could actually host the Games.

FYI Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Seriously, WTF is your problem lately! You talk about Athensfan being "insufferable", but you're one to fricken talk nowadays. As has been pointed out by a couple of other members lately as well. I don't need your dumb sarcasm, nor your self righteous attitude. So why don't you just save it for someone else who fucking cares. I should start calling you AF the II. Or maybe I should start calling AF Quaker 2001 the II. Although it wouldn't be fair to AF since he hasn't been much of a d!ck lately like you fucking have! :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I've been pretty harsh on a couple of people. 1 of them is a newbie and I'm not the only one who has gotten on him, so I'm not exactly going to make apologies for my attitude there. I'm gonna take the rest of this to a PM.. no need to share with the rest of the forum when they won't care. Well Tulsa is obviously a rough spot in this community. Little bit. Unfortunately, Tulsa has taken up a lot of discussion here for no going reason. They're like the attention-starved kid in class that you just can't ignore because he won't shut up even though no one wants to listen to him. I've said it before.. it's going to be a national holiday here on GB the day that the USOC officially announces that Tulsa is no longer on their radar. I personally can't wait until that happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYI Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Is that kinda like how you're calling Phoenix the 'West Coast Atlanta'? :lol: :lol: (seriously though, you swung the door wide open for that one) Let's get this right, Quaker. I didn't initially make the comparison to Atlanta. It was a member by the handle of 'proposition joe' who made the comment that "San Diego is the 'West Coast Atlanta'". And to some peoples bewilderment (including yourself), over such an odd comment, asked why is that so. Then I merely mentioned that "if anything", Phoenix would be more akin to such an odd title. So don't make it seem like somehow I started that mess. And besides, if you're gonna compare me to anyone, compare me to baron because that's who I feel like I'm turning into if anything. Yeah, these boards have a tendency to bring out the worst in people sometimes. Go figure! Little bit. Unfortunately, Tulsa has taken up a lot of discussion here for no going reason.

I've said it before.. it's going to be a national holiday here on GB the day that the USOC officially announces that Tulsa is no longer on their radar. I personally can't wait until that happens Again here, let's get this straight. I wasn't the one who brought up Tulsa into this recent conversation. Baron posted something about Oklahoma City. Then a newbie said that they'd at least be a better option than Tulsa. Then you proceeded to say that neither are qualified. And then the comment of them all, paul after that said that "GB just 'loooooooooooves' Tulsa", as if we all have some sort of addiction with them as a candidate or something. We don't need the USOC to tell Tulsa to take a hike to know that they're far from qualified. Most know that already. Then I merely made the comment that no one (other than one certain delusional individual here) takes Tulsa remotely seriously. That it's nothing more than the butt of jokes around here. And after that, you found the need to chastize me over something that I didn't even start. It seems that you have a habit of not pointing the finger in the right direction with such thngs. But whatever, I digress now. Cuz you're right, no one really cares about this, & I really don't care to read another long-winded post about virtually nothing. Just please get the finger pointing right next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not pointing fingers, just pointing out a little irony that you keep taking shots at "one certain delusional individual here" and he doesn't seem to notice. And then I take a little shot at you and you get really offended for some reason. There are so many messes in these threads, I don't usually remember who brought up what. This had nothing to do with who brought up Tulsa. You know who's really guilty of bringing up Tulsa though?.. EVERYONE! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 What country does the US need to win 2020 in order to have a better shot at 2024/2028? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 What country does the US need to win 2020 in order to have a better shot at 2024/2028? Madrid would stave off European candidates for 24/28. However, the bigger bull in the china shop is the entry of Durban. When RSA/Durban decides to bid, then all bets are off.

cslopes54 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think an Instanbul win would favor the US more. It's Europe Asia middle eastern ? I don't even know but we could consider that. Maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Both a Madrid/Istanbul win could help. Madrid would knock out Paris and Istanbul may knock out Istanbul as the IOC might want to return to a traditional host after going to new places in 2016 and 2020.

FYI Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Not only Durban, but especially those pesky Qatari's & Azeri's would be side-swiped by an Istanbul 2020 win. I think either way, Madrid & Istanbul would negate certain cities on certain continents, but neither would take all of them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.bernham Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Madrid winning provides the best chances for the games to return to the West. No matter who wins I think 2024 would go to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
