I think that it was supposed to be orange (all of the Chicago 2016 promo shirts were orange). But yeah, I thought the same thing when I saw that.

How could you not want the Olympics in your town? Just imagine the bump in tourism and all the money!
...and then imagine the year after and all of the abandoned structures taken over by gang members and breaking down within a matter of a couple years.

Yeah I read a poll that said something like 45% of people in Chicago didn't want the Olympics. I wouldn't want them in my town either.
