farg the Olympics.  No one cares.  Corrupt, wasteful, poorly organized, etc. 

I'll begin the fun by posting the following story, about how Brazil trotted out a rare jaguar--their mascot for the entire games--and then shot it dead. 

Goddamn humans.

That's a damn shame, what a beautiful animal. The jaguar was tranquilized too and the idiot still shot him.

As for the Olympics the events bore me, I never understood the appeal.

Funny thing about matty, I was in the Sixers thread, I never look at avatars, but matty has a Jon Ritchie avatar.

Rome

#7
The highway that leads from the airport in Rio to the Olympic Center is literally controlled by gangs who routinely open fire on passing cars.  The bay where the aquatic races are to be held is so polluted with human waste, they can't guarantee the athletes won't catch illnesses from it, and they aren't swimmers or surfers either.  These are athletes on boats catching spray. 

Oh and then there's Zika, which doesn't have a cure or even an inoculation you can take to prevent you from acquiring the virus. 

Yeah, if I'm head of the USOC, I say we're OUT, thanks.

Agreed.

I'd dip out. I used to love the olympics but they're a farce now. Corruption. Cheating. Viruses that makes kids heads shrink.

no chance

itll be during the winter and all the games will be super early....its basically not going to exist. why do you think they just handed fox the 2026 wc without any other bidding. 2026 will likely be in the us, so that should be fun. but odds are youll be long dead by then.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

i cant possibly predict where ill be in 2022, but if it was this winter id watch it as much as i can....for example most games would be during work hours and weekend games would run up against football. it be tough.

one thing i know is i wouldnt be into it as much as previous cups
