Brennan: Bail on Boston Olympic bid, give it to L.A.

The 2024 Summer Olympics aren't going to be held tomorrow, but a big American decision about those Games is most definitely upon us.

If the United States wants to have even a sliver of a chance to host its first Summer Olympics since 1996, the U.S. Olympic Committee must dump Boston — the city it selected just three months ago, but one whose candidacy has since tumbled into a political and strategic quagmire — and immediately turn to Los Angeles, one of the world's most revered Olympic cities.

Boston is a great sports town and a wonderful city.
