Seth Meyers cites Boston’s trust issues in its break up with the Olympics
But he’s totally on our side.
[fragment number=0]
Boston broke up with the Olympics earlier this week. Have you heard? Thankfully Late Night host Seth Meyers is here to provide us with the scoop on what went down over the past eight months in a segment he dubbed “The New England Scram Chowder.’’
In spite of the Tom Brady gags (rude, Seth) and obligatory local accent parodies, the main takeaway here is Meyer’s transparent play-by-play of why Boston’s relationship with the Olympics games could never work:
That’s the great thing about Boston: they’re the past and the future—Paul Revere, robot cheetahs—but one thing that’s never changed through the years is they won’t take a bad deal from outsiders they don’t trust, which is all of them. In fact, not taking a bad deal from outsiders is the very reason Boston exists. Come on, Olympics, they dressed up like Indians because they didn’t like a tax on their tea. Did you think they were going to stand by while you made them pay $20 billion for privilege of having a javelin contest in their town?
Seth Meyers, a love advice guru.
