In two swift moves in less than 24 hours, Mayor Daley and the city of Chicago are trying to show the world just how serious they are about bringing the 2016 Olympic Games to our town.Yesterday, the city unveiled their Olympic logo, a torch with a blue and green handle and a gold flame in the shape of the Chicago skyline. Normally, the Olympic logo is revealed after a host city has been chosen, but Chicago has jumped the gun a bit in the hopes that the U.S. Olympic Committee will take its bid very seriously.
Then the city announced that former Bull and two-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Jordan is joining its Olympic task force, more as a symbolic presence than anything else. Chairman Patrick Ryan says, “We look at his [Jordan's]identity as a great Olympian, a great champion and a person who means a lot to so many people around the world.”
