Note the following quotes from Inside Look with Mayor Daley presented by Cadillac premiering Sunday, October 14 on Comcast SportsNet:
DALEY on his belief that the NFL should award Chicago with a second franchise:
โWhy is it New York has two (NFL teams), Florida has three, San Francisco has two? When you think of that, Chicago loves sports too.ย We get a secondย team in here, you could build a new stadium, you could have a huge international soccer teams coming in, you could do the Final Four, you could do anything you want with a brand new stadium.ย Itโd be privately funded, government can help a little bit, but Iโve always believed we could take a secondย team and, every Sunday, we would have a team playing in the National Football League.โ
DALEY on losing the 2016 Olympic bid for Chicago:
โWe got great coverage worldwide about Chicago, so I was back there and met a lot of the delegates…I was nice to โemย (laughs), and I have a lot of good memories about it, but like anything else, it became a political issue and thatโs what it is.โ
DALEY on keeping a low profile at White Sox games and other sporting events:
โIโve never been recognized at sporting events because Iย want toย be there as a fan.ย Fansย want toย see the players; they donโt want toย hear about any of us.โ
