Chills, up and down my body.
…I love how this is what we wear on our sleeves as AMERICAN.
And what better way to kick off than the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

To have the roars of the Olympic crowds almost be entirely for the Stars & Stripes will be special.
NOTE:I live about 10 minutes by foot away from where this concert took place.
Normally, I walk along this beach when I go for my daily walk.

I will get over this failure by me, but no time soon.
Once again chills went down my spine as those words left the mouth of Thomas Bach.
The Games of the XXXIV Olympiad can’t get here, to United States soil, soon enough.
They’ve broken up much of the venues into “parks” across Los Angeles County.
Make these Games very American.
The venue selection is pretty great, in my opinion.
They need to transform the venue into a massive Swimming Stadium, so it makes sense.
Los Angeles is removing Breaking (goodbye Break Dancing) and adding a ton of new sports.
Will they all stay after LA 2028?
I am not sure, but there is one headliner… Tyreek Hill, Patrick Mahomes, and others have expressed interest repping the United States.
The World Baseball Classic is happening again in 2026 (why every three years?
Barstool employee, and social team member, Jake Malasek is on the Czech Republic national Lacrosse Team.
Check social media, and you’ll see how excited countries around the world are for Cricket to return.
Could this also wake the sleeping Olympics giant that is India?
There is also a growing sense that India will possibly host the 2036 Olympic Games.
WHO WILL LIGHT THE CAULDRON WITH THE OLYMPIC FLAME?
Okay, so good luck topping this moment from Atlanta 1996.
Maybe a combination of all three?
Possibly a Vanessa Bryant in honor of a local icon and Olympic Champion in Kobe Bryant?
I could also see multiple generations of basketball stars coming together for it.
- Michael Phelps:The TOO obvious choice?
If you go with an Olympian, it has to be Phelps.
Unlikely, but those guys will absolutely be part of the Torch Relay.
That’s it for my preview of Los Angeles 2028.
Before we go, let me note that H.E.R.
The potential for an insane open to the LA 2028 Games is just unthinkable.
Everyone and anyone will want to be there.
See you in a few years, Olympics…
…can’t wait.
