I'm hoping Jordan Burroughs and Kyle Snyder can repeat their gold medal performances from the 2015 wrestling world championships at Rio. USA Wrestling needs to keep showing that they can somehow get medals.


You haven't seen me yet.

But to say "they don't have functional health facilities" or "they have diseases that can kill you unlike the first world countries" is so wrong I cannot even put it in words...

I'm talking about simple stuff like TB malaria HIV dengue fever and Zika are the big ones in Brazil right now. Ohh And Rio's hospitals are overcrowded underfunded and there aren't enough doctors and the Olympics are going to overwhelm it. much less their security for them like: Armed Men Raid Rio de Janeiro Hospital recommended for tourists traveling to the Olympic Games, Free a Drug Trafficker in a shootout.

Yeah, that's why I said "Brazil isn't a save place". And HIV isn't a problem limited to 3rd world countries alone. You can get HIV in England or the US, too, you know?

I should have clarified a third world shithole that has inadequate healthcare that can't give the basic treatment on the most basic of diseases for its population much less the huge flow of people coming for the Olympics. And it should be held in safe first world countries with proper medical care where diseases can be treated and security is guaranteed.

HIV is an epidemic in the third world and only an endemic in the first world .

Won't be anymore graphic than Vancouver, when they replayed the luger wrapping himself around a steel girder for 2 weeks straight.

Man, this seems like the start of a horror movie where somebody alerts people that there could be a danger to them and they're brushed off because it's "not a big deal". Chilling.

Jordan Spieth pulls out of the Olympics citing the Zika Virus in Brazil as the reason why

Dammit. I was looking forward to seeing how golf would look at the Olympics since this is going to be the first year they've played it at The Games since 1904 and the world's top four players are out because Rio has a terrifying disease running rampant right now. >:(

IOC Inspector: Rio De Janeiro 'Ready to Welcome the World'

I hope that's a sick joke, that third world shithole is far from ready to host the Olympics.

I may watch a few sporting events, but i am totally against what the government has done to the local communities in preparation for the games.

If the shit in Rio keeps up, then at this rate it'll be safer to host the Olympics in North Korea than in Rio.

HAHAHA! Maybe but stuff leading up to it is about as juicy as the Olympics itself plus I'm using it as a link dump for future references.
