Wildfires that devastated neighborhoods across Los Angeles have provided fresh motivation for critics of the 2028 Summer Olympics and complicated the effort to host the world's biggest sporting event, though experts say a relocation is unlikely.

The right opposes the LA Olympics on reactionary grounds, but the left must not embrace their arguments. There are better ways to help LA recover than LA28.

Wildfires in Los Angeles are intensifying opposition to the 2028 Olympics. Despite challenges, Governor Newsom and LA28's Wasserman are committed to hosting the Games. Critics, however, argue these events highlight the city's inability to safeguard its residents while preparing for such a massive event.

The Los Angeles wildfire disaster has cast a shadow over preparations for the 2028 Olympics, raising questions over whether the city can deliver a safe and successful Games. So far, none of the more than 80 venues due to stage Olympic competition in Los Angeles have been directly affected by the infernos that have left at least 24 people dead and reduced entire neighborhoods to smoldering ruins.
