AMERICA GOT..WELL...AMERICA'D

It all looked great on paper.  America had done everything possible to erase the images of the people that made this nation one of the most hated globally.  The star power behind the campaign was about as cool as they come.  The Obamas, Oprah, and of course: Scottie Pippen. 

The banners were hung in Chicago, thousands were gathered to watch the announcement, and then something happened.  Exactly what we thought we had guaranteed to us was stripped away.

Sounds kinda like kharma to me.

When they announced that Chicago received only 18 votes and was the first finalist eliminated, I'm sure that the many voters who did not vote for us were fist-bumping and whispering "Doesn't feel so good now? Does it?"

So What Now?

We will most likely do what America does, play the victim and rally the most superior athletes together in a "we'll show them" attitude.

And you know what else America does? Wins more medals than anyone.  Yeah, we'll do that too.

So here comes the Redeem the Self-Esteem Team.  Look out.
