So this totally 'debunks' anything that Abrahamson, Wasserman (& truff) have to say, that Paris 2024 doesn't offer anything as strong as L.A. does. It's quite the opposite. Watch TRuff refuting the "theory" even when he has zero arguments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really puts a spotlight on these 2 cities that they are all that's left so the IOC isn't weeding through other candidates that don't look as good by comparison. And besides, is anyone surprised that Abratrollson and lackey Herpes are totally under-estimating Paris? I don't think Wasserman is, nor should he since it could be their downfall.

And like we mentioned early, this weekend Los Angeles had the coverage, but we need to wait until Wednesday when the real presentation of Paris starts.

Wasserman is not as bad as Abratrollson (luv it, btw lol) & Truffmp, but he does have his moments, when saying stuff like - "the IOC 'must' choose L.A. 'now' in order to 'stabilize' the Olympic World, & our plan won't necessarily be there later", etc etc. He's playing the same game, but in a more passive-aggressive, somewhat diplomatic manner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Related to that, this is exactly my anger to you know whom when discussing points. Always pointing out how Estraguet is a bully for the OV or how the Paris 2024 bid is irresponsable for the Facebook "war" (Which was a nill point), but he gave a pass with Wasserman's passive aggresive statements like a "succesful and nice competitor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn straight he's playing the same game, but that's what he has to do. This is still politics, so that part of all this can't be avoided. Every so often, there will be a line that is pie in the sky thinking, but inevitably we'll get that from both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, these tactics are actually common in these type of races and we wouldn't put a lot of interest, if it wasn't for Abrahamson and him. When France does that, it's desperation, bad competition but when USA does that, it's business attitude ad vindication. The prisma is too ridiculous biased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

world atlas Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Translated by Google: Quote MACRON TO GO TO LAUSANNE AND LIMA TO DEFEND PARIS 2024 By Jean-Julien Ezvan Published on 16/05/2017 at 09h57 The President of the Republic, who is an enthusiastic supporter of Paris 2024's candidature for the organization of the Olympic Games, will be traveling in July and September to plead the cause of the French dossier. Bernard Lapasset, co-chair of the Paris 2014 Bid Committee, said after the interview with the IOC Evaluation Commission with Emmanuel Macron: " He spoke in French and English. He met individually with each of the members of the Commission. We are working on unity, having the President of the Republic, it is a reality, a decisive step. He announced that he would come to Lausanne (11 July) and Lima (13 September). " Le Figaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macron surpassed expectations during presidential campaign and like Blair, he's a young, attractive, liberal and rational stateman, while speaking in French and English at the same time. I bet Mike Lee had spoken to him related to tricks Macron, like Phillippe (The Prime Minister), both are active sportmen - Boxing, sky, scuba diving, swimming. They have a healthier lifestyle comparing both American counterparts. Also, I told you about Anne Hidalgo She's really respectable and professional to spoil in petty and pathetic feuds like Abrahamson really wants. And yep, regardless of TRuff and Abrahamson, Paris will change the balance after the real meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the total B.S. that Paris 2024 is being "unprofessional" couldn't be further from the truth when you have someone from ITG tweeting the contrary. Blows Truff's claims about Abratrollson's "veteran noteriety" right outta the water. Both Truffgina & AA are probably starting to hyperventilate & lose it lmfao.
