South Korea Pushing Forward with Bid to Host 2032 Olympics with North Korea

This would be the first Olympic Games hosted by a brutal dictator since 1936 when Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler hosted the games. If the Koreans can hold off until the 2036 Olympics Games they can come up with a slogan celebrating 100 years since the last dictator hosted the games:

Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon (R) and Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) Vice President Kim Young-chae pose with a document appointing Seoul as the South Korean candidate city for a joint 2032 Summer Olympics bid with North Korea after a KSOC vote at the Jincheon National Training Center in Jincheon, 90 kilometers south of Seoul, on Feb. 11, 2019.

Seoul was selected Monday as the South Korean candidate city for a joint Olympic bid with North Korea.
The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) said Seoul was chosen over Busan as the candidate city for the 2032 Summer Games at its general assembly at the National Training Center in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province. Seoul earned 34 out of 49 votes from KSOC members.

They’ll have the first Commie games since 1980 too.

Has everyone forgotten China, that bastion of individual freedom and democracy hosted the Olympics in 2008, or did I miss the memo?

In my opinion, the IOC is the only sports organization more contemptible than the NFL.
