It's an embarrassment and a laughing joke. Should do away with entirely. Not what it use to be in 60's-80's

Most of that is correct. But the Russia ban has nothing to do with steroids. Russia is demonized by the controlled media. We can all do the rest.

And, yes, the Rio water is absolute filth. You literally can smell the sewage as you walk along a path. Absolutely disgusting.

Funny how they build a 50 million dollar golf course, or whatever the fuck it cost, and right around the corner you've got all these fucking ghettos. Same with the World Cup. Massive fucking poverty.... but let's spends hundreds of billions on building massive stupid football stadiums and everything for the Olympics.

And what are we doing for the country and the people? ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING, ZERO AND SHIT!!!

Lol. You believe all this shit you read? You think Russia is out b/c of this? Next you're going to tell me Donald Trump is racist b/c you read it in a Fox or Cnn article.

 

[RunMaker]

Next you're going to tell me that the US has Israel's back b/c of the kindness of their heart rather than the fact Israel owns the balls of almost all US politicians and controls shit via proxy.

Save for later


Police used stun grenades and tear gas to clear protesters in the path of the Olympic torch in a poor suburb of Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, two days before South America’s first Olympic Games open under tight security.

Olympic Brazilian sailors earlier delivered the torch to the host city’s mayor after crossing Guanabara Bay near the end of a 20,000km (12,400-mile) journey through one of the world’s largest and most diverse countries.
The flame landed at 9.15am local time while a few kilometres away 450 heavily armed police battled drug traffickers to carry out dozens of arrest orders in the Alemao slum, an area near the international airport and close to the main road to Olympic venues.
Armed soldiers stood patrol on highways and on many corners throughout the city.
Police said anti-government protesters in Duque de Caixas, on Rio’s north side, threw rocks and blocked the torch’s path. Police dispersed them with pepper spray and rubber bullets.


Three people were injured by rubber bullets, including a 10-year-old girl, local media reported.

The clash, which came a day after anti-torch protests in nearby towns and amid several days of gang violence in northern Brazil, underscored social tension in the massive country.
The world’s largest sporting event comes to Brazil in the midst of the country’s worst recession in at least a quarter of a century and an impeachment trial of a suspended president. Many residents struggling with the dire economy question the wisdom of hosting the Olympics, a bid Brazil won in 2009 while the economy was booming.

Some 85,000 police, soldiers and security personnel are being deployed in Rio, more than double the amount in London in 2012, to deter both violent street crime and the threat of attacks by extremists.
Residents have faced hours of traffic jams in recent days as new express bus lanes ferrying athletes and visitors to sport venues take up highway space, leading Mayor Eduardo Paes to declare Thursday the fourth city holiday of the Games.

After picking up the torch at a local naval academy, a grinning Paes took it on its first laps through the streets of downtown Rio. A few protesters cropped up in the mostly celebratory crowd, which cheered to the pulse of drums and samba music.
The Rio organising committee said 1.3m tickets remained unsold on Wednesday, though nearly half of those tickets were for soccer matches held in other cities.

I didn't read yet the article referred in the first post, but...

This Olympics is just the truest possible reflection of the world's actual political and economic situation.
Almost any domain of activity is going to shit and is affected negatively... why would be a major sports event like this spared?

On another note, I am really amazed that Euro 2016 was as successful and without major problem as it was. I was expecting lot worst things to happen there.

 

[RenoChazz]

Man I wish the Olympics would come to Tahoe. I'd rent my house out go on a free vacation, and make enough to pay my house off.

The Brazilian government is reportedly planning to transfer $849m in emergency funds to the state of Rio de Janeiro to pay for infrastructure and security during the Olympic Games.
