#Boston2024
Oh #Bospoli, guess what I found at a thrift store over the weekend. Could match my #Boston2024 #Olympics shirt.

Just another day with this ham-handed campaign TBH.

Brought to Boston by the team that brought us #Boston2024 and the redacted bid book.

The world cup security budget standoff in Foxboro brought up a lot of deja vu for me 11 years ago when I was in the midst of the #Boston2024 olympic debacle. This is such an embarrassing look for Boston, FIFA, & the Trump Administration.
With three months remaining before the 2026 FIFA World Cup arrives in Massachusetts, Boston and Foxboro officials are still working to resolve key questions surrounding security funding. on.nbcboston.com/tcYR6uw
Security funding questions remain with World Cup 3 months away
People who opposed the unsuccessful bid to bring the 2024 Olympics to Boston are criticizing the process as the area prepares to host seven World Cup matches.

The amount of fun I’ve had while Boston hosts the #WorldCup26 is making me extra salty that we didn’t host the #Boston2024 Olympics.

Bob Kraft is *singlehandedly* responsible for allowing this standoff with Foxboro to drag on for weeks.

Marty Walsh was *singlehandedly* responsible for so poorly vetting the #Boston2024 bid and IndyCarBoston.

Shame on the Globe for turning this on Bostonians. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/10/m...

Josh Kraft’s advisors are jumping ship. This is the PR duo known for the #Boston2024 Olympic bid that, if successful, would’ve ceded post-2024 development rights at Widett Circle to familiar names. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/03/m...

Globe boosterism of the thoroughly unvetted, troublingly opaque #Boston2024 bid, a scheme that quietly papered over post-2024 development rights and a pathetic array of "Legacy Assets" that would remain for taxpayers to clean up, was downright nauseating. Don't get me started on IndyCarBoston.

His PR team managed #Boston2024.

Kraft’s passion for White Stadium didn’t stop the stadium from being woefully neglected — to the point of crumbling — under multiple prior administrations.

I recall billionaire Fish raised possibilities of rehabilitation with #Boston2024 but he must’ve lost interest as well.

The guy whose campaign team told the Globe he voted for Kasich (R) in the 2016 primary but didn’t tell the Globe who he voted for in the 2016 general election.

The team that brought Boston the #Boston2024 Olympics bid, never stating it was tied to post-2024 development rights for insiders.
February 4, 2025 at 12:26 AM
FIFA is proving to be another lesson learned.

Recalling Marty Walsh’s thinly-vetted #Boston2024 bid, awarding post-2024 development rights to insiders while leaving demolition of “legacy assets” to taxpayers. The Globe characterized opponents as NIMBY. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/21/m...

With just a few weeks before the World Cup kicks off, all signs indicate that local planning for the world’s greatest sporting event continue to be, at the least, underperforming.

We dodged two bullets with Boston2024 and IndyCar.
November 20, 2025 at 3:04 AM
There’s actually no one who cheers #Boston women’s sports like the Olympics more than me, BUT what we will NOT allow are deals like #Boston2024 which sold city property to the highest bidder. Remember Long Island as a shooting range? Over my dead body. #bospoli

They don’t have real respect for Bostonians, reflected in the thinly-vetted “plans.”

The team did the same thing managing their Boston2024 Olympics bid. It reflected a disrespect for Bostonians, and great respect for wealthy insiders. It took a Public Records Request to secure a redacted bid book.

Rich Davey, new CEO of Massport, could regain a lot of the good feelings he lost with me during the Boston2024 push by threatening to shut down international flights at Logan until Customs/ICE fires anyone involved in disappearing or torturing people and swears not to do it again.
March 16, 2025 at 8:50 PM
Boston dodged a bullet showing #IndyCarBoston the exit. Not only for the reasons cited in this piece, but because — like the #Boston2024 bid — Walsh was poorly vetting incoming proposals. The CEO of IndyCarBoston later went to prison for fraud and tax evasion. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/20/n...

And to Josh Kraft, this is what receipts look like. 👇 So when you're getting tips from Walsh, Fish, the #Boston2024 PR team and other crony capitalists and their enablers... there's more where these receipts came from.

Wu is crushing it and that's why Old Boston is seething.
Context:

Walsh at 100 Pier 4: Tell WBUR that #Ch91 civic/cultural space will be awarded via Open RFI. Then quietly cut a deal with insiders. No competition.

Walsh at 5-15 Necco (former GE site): During permitting, cut a deal with an insider. Disclose publicly only 5 weeks before BPDA Board vote.
Public Comments for Fan Pier Parcel H / Ch91 have been published by DEP.

In recent news, Mayor's Office of Arts & Culture (MOAC) has confirmed that 23,577sf of cultural space will be tenanted via open RFI process. Wu admin rating: Stellar

I'm a fan of @leungboston.bsky.social and a dedicated reader of her columns.

But Ms. Leung's fact-free boosterism of Mayor Walsh's thinly-vetted #Boston2024 Olympic bid — browbeating opponents on a claim that "Boston is unable to do big things," was renown.

Today's column smacks of hypocrisy.

Do Bostonians get to look under the hood at Kraft's strategists? Boston media has been silent.

Weren't they responsible, in part, for the #Boston2024 bid going down in flames? Anyone remember the "redacted bid book?" Post-2024 development rights? www.nytimes.com/2015/05/30/s...

I think it had a lasting positive impact. It disproved decades of puritanical BS, and disproved incessant fear-mongering about how the City is crime-ridden and unwelcoming. Unlike Boston2024, it wasn’t a sinkhole of public investment. And why focus on $1.5M, not the $80M+ boost?
