To the editor: I doubt I might be consuming my phrases, however judging from the completely lame presentation in the course of the closing ceremony in Paris by the organizers of the 2028 Summer Olympics — that includes an getting older Hollywood actor and equally pathetic performances by some pop artists — I’m satisfied that Los Angeles can by no means compete with the spectacular present placed on in France.
We’re Simply not that inventive, unique and inclusive. We do kitsch nicely, however creativity and sophistication? Not a lot.

To the editor: What a humiliation. After an astoundingly easy, thrilling Paris Olympics, the handoff to Los Angeles within the closing ceremony was horrifying.
With tens of millions watching world wide, one of the best Los Angeles can do is a pop live performance on the seashore?
L.A.’s organizing committee ought to dangle their heads for being so oblivious to the necessity to make an impression. If that’s the greatest Los Angeles can do, I vote to maneuver the Olympics some place else — wherever.
