Tokyo Olympics: Will They Happen?

Maybe they will be relocated to Florida, and Miami's front yard can host the pole vault.

At first, the headline looked like something out of The Onion. Florida has thrown its hat into the ring to host the postponed 2020 Olympic Games that are due to take place in Tokyo this summer. Since 80 percent of Japan’s residents believe that hosting a super-spreader event in the middle of a pandemic might not be the best use of resources or worth the risk, Florida’s Trumpist state government is putting its foot forward, even if that foot is sinking into the Atlantic Ocean because of global warming.

The state’s chief financial officer, the cinematically named Jimmy Patronis, sent a letter to the International Olympic Committee stating,“Today, I am writing to encourage you to consider relocating the 2021 Olympics from Tokyo, Japan to the United States of America, and more specifically to Florida.” Patronis, per his custom, kissed the behind of his Trumpist governor Ron DeSantis for his “handling” of the pandemic, writing, “When most of the major states were shutting down their economies, we were fortunate enough to have a Governor that recognized the important balance of fighting the virus with keeping the economy open.”

Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for America’s Wang to host an Olympics originally scheduled for China?

I love the olympics, and I’ll have a 2-3 month old when they’re scheduled to happen so having live sports on tv in the middle of the night would be amazing, but it’s probably not a good idea

How long is the middle of the pandemic going to last

For as long as we still believe it's not real and/or just like the common cold.

The only ones pole vaulting in my front yard are the iguanas, but mating season will be over by the summer.

Yeah, I may have gone a little too early-Dennis Miller
-obscure and reached too far with that one:
•Tokyo Olympics (in Japan)
•Florida is America’s Wang
•Wang is a Chinese surname, not Japanese
•Florida, with its Chinese name, shouldn’t make a play for the Olympics in Japan.

I thought maybe they were originally schedule for China but then Tokyo shanghai'd the games away from them.
