Dumb Sports Rule #578
>> Thursday
The International Olympic Committee has told the Chicago 2016 Olympic bid that they must change their bid logo (seen below) because of all things, it looks too much like the Olympic torch.
The IOC says that bid cities logos "shall not contain the Olympic symbol, the Olympic motto, the Olympic flag, any other Olympic-related imagery (e.g. flame, torch, medal, etc.), slogan, designation or other indicia or the distorted version thereof or a design confusingly similar thereto.''
In other words, the logos for the Olympic bids can't use any imagery to let people know that it's for the Olympics. Personally, all I see is a city skyline on top of a stalactite.
Didn't seem to be a problem with New York, London, or Vancouver.

That's the clearest and most articulate sentence I have ever read.
