Cities have grown weary of USOC, IOC games #USOCGoHome!

ocregister.com:

So it turns out the fine people of Boston believe they will somehow manage to survive after all without the International Olympic Committee’s five-ring seal of approval.

Local residents have made it clear they are willing try to make do with merely being the home to Faneuil Hall, Boston Common, Harvard, MIT, the John F. Kennedy Library, Fenway Park and Bobby Orr.

Only a quarter of Boston area residents favor the New England city over other U.S. and European cities as the 2024 Olympic Games host, according to a poll conducted for WBUR

This article was published in in the California Orange County Register in April but it is just as true today when the USOC came to town.

Opponents of hosting the games took to twitter to express their dissent using the hash tag #USOCGohome and it was the top trending topic on Twitter:

Now there's a trend I can get behind. #USOCGoHome pic.twitter.com/46IQxtyctG

Most of the criticism was substantive, and if you've been following the debate, you'd know Boston2024 has been slow to provide answers.

Hey USOC. If the IOC needs a blank check, they should turn to Rich Uncle Pennybags. I think he's in LA #USOCGoHome pic.twitter.com/rBLG7SlMte
