I hope they do too. They have an amazing culture, incredible country with loads of summer Olympic potential locations. Their athletes are world class and they have mezcal.

Yeah it’s just what the Mexican people needed! Something that is a huge waste of government money! Also, it’s gonna be amazing for the athletes, at over two kilometers or seven thousand feet above sea level.

I'd be curious if it'd improve the long jump and some other games. Obviously it'd hinder most, but I'd still be curious as to the effects

Well the Olympic long jump record is still from Mexico City in 1968 and has only been beaten once since. His jump in 1968 beat the existing world record by almost 2 feet.

Well considering that the games are pretty much always a net loss for the host country, I actually am.

Hosting a sporting event should be the last thing the Mexican government should be putting in resources to right now.

Care to enlighten me on the geopolitics of Mexico? I’m waiting

Explain how Mexico isn't run by the cartels currently. I mean Mexico has 7 of the top 10 most violent cities in the world for FFS: https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/the-most-dangerous-cities-in-the-world.html
