White Elephants Won't Be Part of L.A.'s 2028 Olympics
Casey Wasserman, chairman of the bid group that brought the 2028 Olympics to Los Angeles, addresses the International Olympic Committee's changing approach to awarding the Games. He also addresses a host of financial issues surrounding the Olympics, including how L.A.'s existing infrastructure will prevent the kinds of white elephants and exploding spending that has marred previous bids. He also talks about the city's privately financed Games, and how the Olympics will actually help to ease the city's much-maligned traffic. Wasserman is the founder and chairman of Wasserman Media Group, a sports and entertainment agency he founded in 2002.
