the media will tell you what to think,, lolol,,, hillarys convention with no flags,, but they are more american than trump?? negro lives matter booing verterans and police officers,,
the olympics are a sham,,, and there will be thousands and thousands that will spread the zika virus throughout the world,,, and noone gives a shit becasue they are TOLD NOT TOO,,
Haven't watched a second of this and just knew it was going to be bad.
This Olympics is already, or has been before the start, a horrible thing.
What am I missing here? I thought this was a great thing where one country put's up thier best athlete against another country's best athlete and let the results speak for themselves.
Olympics seem to become less and less important as it used to be.
Now.....Soccer is a whole different story. Nowadays Soccer is the Olympics.
I take no responsibility on this opinion...just an opoinin. Nothing else.

Many people believed Brazilian soccer legend Pelé would light the Olympic cauldron to officially kick off the competition at the opening ceremonies. It’s an honor typically bestowed on a sporting hero of the host country, and Brazil arguably has no greater living sports figure than Pelé.
But when the star confirmed today (Aug. 5) that his health would prevent him from doing the job, the world was left wondering who might take his place. Now we have our answer: Olympic marathoner Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima.
By all accounts, de Lima was a deserving choice. The distance runner is perhaps best known for his performance at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, when he delivered an incredible and surprising performance despite the actions of a drunken spectator.
During the marathon that year, de Lima wasn’t even expected to medal. His personal best time was minutes slower than the favorite in the race, Paul Tergat of Kenya. Yet four miles from the end of the 26.2-mile ordeal, he was leading.
De Lima’s quest for gold was derailed, however, when a man wearing a kilt collided with him and pushed him to the side of the road.
The Idiot in the kilt was a defrocked priest who was Drunk.
Following the disruption de Lima fell to third place.
Even so, he did a victory dance as he crossed the finish line with a smile
earning him the respect and admiration of the international audience.
While de Lima took home the bronze medal rather than gold, he was ultimately awarded the Pierre de Coubertin medal for sportsmanship.
