I consider Texas to be a western state.
ouch
idk when people in this country say a state is northern or southern they are usually referring to how the states were split up during the civil war, you on the other hand seem to be basing your reference of the location of Texas on how the NBA splits up their conferences.

that's why I mentioned the Midwest..because it applies due to our history...
i know all of you nikkaz not from here think it's all the same.
I lived in Bethany (OKC) and also in El Paso for a bit...honestly not that much different. Texas has more dirt and cowboys. I know OK get's shyt a lot for wanting to be texas and honestly...it's a well deserved stereo type.

south = midwest
it's all the same to me honestly
I think this idea is absurd too. But your incessant hate for the southern United States when you are a Indo Guyanese/African mixed .... as if racism doesn't exist there ..... and if you live in New York .. you making it seem like racism and stupid ass concoctions of ideas don't emanate from there too .... and the northeast too .....
Super bad idea.
Hosting the Olympics requires money to build up facilities and infrastruture. Once the event is over. The debt for those resources still hangs around if it didn't get paid off. If the facilities don't get used, it's wasted.
It happens everywhere. 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China 1992 Olympics cost the city a lot of money because they didn't have the facilities or infrastructure. Now that the Olympics are over, they have empty and unused facilities. That is what is going to happen in Tulsa. Where are they going to get a kayaking course and velodrome? They are going to have to build them. That is going to cost a lot of money. Once the events are over, they are going to be expensive facilities that cost money to maintain.
Are you going to spend millions of dollars in hotel construction to house thousands of people for one month of events only to have them close down because hotel owners aren't making enough revenue afterwards? It takes years for hotels to recoup construction costs and get in the black after a hotel is built.
It would be better to host it in a very large city/metro area like NYC, Chicago, or Dallas.

I haven't been to Tulsa but I can easily imagine the economic shortfalls after such an event. If you don't have the infrastructure in place now its just silly.
How do you feel about the Trail Of Tears angle ?
