Inspired By Disney’s NBA Bubble Florida Asks To Host Olympics
Florida has officially thrown their hat into the ring for the 2021 Olympic Games. A letter was sent by Florida’s Chief Financial Officer to the Olympic Committee. It was asking for the state to be considered if Japan decides not to host the 2021 Summer Olympics.
The letter mentions the success of Disney’s “bubble.” It was created due to the pandemic and that Disney operations proved that Florida can handle a large number of tourists safely. The Florida CFO also stated “The State of Florida has successfully allowed sports to take place during the pandemic. When most states shut down their sporting events, the city of Jacksonville hosted the Ultimate Fighting Championship and the National Basketball Association.”
As a note, these are the most expensive Olympics on record at a whopping $15.4 billion, though two government audits suggest it might be almost twice that much according to an Associated Press report.
