“The face of the Olympics is an elite, white man’s, rich millionaire’s kind of party club…That’s [the way] it’s being portrayed in the media. That’s what you see when you’re sitting at home. That makes people in the rest of the city say, ‘Why bother?’ Why should we put a guarantee up for something we’re not going to be able to afford anyway? Why should we even participate because we’re not even included? We’re not even in the thought process.'”
– Ald. Freddrenna Lyle (6th), quoted in today’s Chicago Sun-Times.
