The city that is having this upcoming olympics have one of the largest poverty sections of any city in the world and the crime rate is also one of the largest in the world.;  What about that?<br>
<br>
Go anywhere in the world and ask them do they know Memphis or Nashville, Memphis will win hands down. Hell, if I remember well, Salt Lake City didn't even have a NFL team either.<br>
<br>
You have a small time mind, think of the world, it doesn't end in Nashville.

If Memphis could really do it, Memphis would need no help from the state. But, it is not realistic to even try to do it, even if 3 billion dollars was put into escrow to make it happen.

It is not a laughing matter, rather, it is an honor just to be invited.<br>
<br>
This is the attitude of the suburbs. What you see is what you want to see, but, Memphis has a worldwide name and more opportuniies, albeit, hopefully on a smaller scale will present itself to Memphis.
