2016 Summer Olympics in Rio-Welcome to Hell.
 

*

"Amateurs " competing in sports. Laughable.

What a disaster...and not a surprise at all. Everyone saw this coming as soon as the IOC announced Rio was the choice.

500,000 people coming there soon- and protesters are holding up signs stating they have No Hospitals. The one they do have was recently stormed by 20 masked gunmen. :rolleyes:

Could get ugly.

I want to see Joker levels of chaos at this year's Olympics.

I just assumed the IOC was engaged in a fair, reasonable process of evaluation and good judgment. :shrug:

You'll have to consult Nathan P. Thrum and Tommy Flanagan on that for a straight answer.

You have to have priorities, and hosting an Olympics takes priority. People should understand that.

This is what happens when a corrupt sports cabal determines sites. Same thing as FIFA and Qatar, and Beijing in '08.

You could be right.

Instead of helping the poor in the shanty towns-they built a Trump wall so you can't see them. ROFL This is not going over to well with the unwashed masses behind the wall.

If you don't see them-they don't exist. :rolleyes:

ROFL

I wonder if the Olympic torch will make it to the lighting ceremony without being stolen?

Wall at the airport? Don't you see the ghettos as you fly in? Maybe it's "Well, we're descending into Rio...hey, look over there at the giant Jesus".

ROFL

Instead of dealing with the poor, drugs and gang violence-they are just walling them in - Escape from New York style.

Brazil Is Murder Capital Of The World, But Rio Is Safer Than Compton, Detroit, St. Louis...

http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoz.../#3b276d521a0b

I spent 2 weeks in Rio in 1987 during Carnival. I was lucky as the Cruzeiro, their currency at the time, was crashing and being replaced by the Cruzado, which basically took off three zeros from the Cruzeiro. I had people exchanging me dollars at 4 x's the official rate and a dinner with 4 people of steak, veal, pork, 10 beers, 2 bottles of wine, dessert, appetizers, and salad was about $40 with tip TOTAL for everyone.

I stayed in a private apartment at 222 Barrata Robierto on the 8th floor. I went to the Help discotheque where women were nude or topless.

I caught the clap from a Brazilian women who stayed 10 days with me in my apt protecting me from everyone, showing me the sights, washing my clothes and hers, and then giving me a souvenir in my dick I didn't want.

She took me up to the flavellas to show me where she lived and it was atrocious. Barely running water, all concrete walls with little else, curtains as doors, and dishes piled high and rarely electricity and she lived with three other girls.

I had little bandidos try to steal from me when on the beach at Copacabana and watched them steal from other people. The young boys all trying to shine your shoes and sell you chicklets gum or peanuts for .10

Rio was a shithole then and now it is an even bigger shithole! Olympics and the Olympians are screwed big time!

I believe that is incorrect-it is Honduras or Guatemala

You barebacked a bitch in Rio and all you got was clap you need to count yourself lucky.

This report could also suggest that Brazil is putting all of their resources to help increase the illusion that some kind of personal safety exist?

I am sure the gangs will be lining for the tourist to get off those planes not to mention a potential ISIS attack.

So did you broach the subject of a fivesome? It seems like everything was in place for it.

Did you keep in touch with her? Facebook friends maybe. :D

Lucky you did not get Aids.

I spent a day in Rio a few years ago. Copacabana Beach was nothing but fat European tourists. However, the Jesus statue was pretty cool.

Drunk as hell, young and stupid, and I think she wanted to get knocked up by a "wealthy" (in her eyes) American.

With all the sights, sounds, naked and topless women running all over, that was not even a thought at the time.

No Facebook back in 1987 only postcards!

No Aid's either!

And the ocean water is dirty and dark. Not ideal IMHO

The IOC could have had these olympics in Chicago, but no. Have fun in that wasteland surrounded by polluted oceans.

ISIS is licking their chops for the Olympics. Turkey just got plastered with 28 dead and Rio will be next with the worthless games going on.

Shit they had 70 killed there in one weekend

Yeah, they're probably holding it in Rio due to safety concerns about Chicago.

ROFL

I was just sayin...

I hear you, we've all been there. I'm just glad for you the aids wasn't as prevalent there as it is now. That is some Russian roulette shit.

NBC coverage should be fair and balanced with copious amounts of swimming and gymnastics

No way I'd go down there.
It's going to be a bloodbath.

Rio’s Leader Warns That The Olympics Could Be A ‘Failure’

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0f168323aca88


A functioning police force and transportation system are necessary, given the rising crime in Rio. Murder and robbery are up 15 percent and 30 percent, respectively, since last year, NPR reports. The city is trying to get new buses off the ground to help tourists avoid the favelas — areas vulnerable to violence, theft and gang activity.

“How are people going to feel protected in a city without security?” Dornelles said.

Should we be worried about the security of our athletes??? We have seen terrorism at the Olympics before!

Kyrie Irving better not get murdered. I have him in a keeper league.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, police shot dead the jaguar who was suppose to be the official Olympics' mascot because it attacked a Rio policeman during a parade.

LMAO
And we're off. This is going to be a cluster**** to an amazing and disturbing degree.

I'm expecting Munich times 1,000.

The wife is a huge Olympics' fan. For me...emphf. Well it might be a heck of a lot more interesting. There are going to be different events: the 2 and 4 door Carjacking, the 30 meter running away from cops, the 6 inch stabbing event, the how you hose a tourist, the long jump over dead people event et. al.

Might be good entertainment.....

I dunno, the security is going to be tight, and that is kind of a very long swim. ISIS can walk to Turkey among the crowd.

What I Give A Shit Concerning Summer Olympics:

1.) That the beach volleyball chicks are in hot uniforms.
2.) That the indoor volleyball chicks are in hot uniforms.
3.) That the swimming chicks are in hot uniforms.
4.) That the gymastics chicks are in hot uniforms.

What I Don't Give A Shit About The Summer Olympics:

1.) Everything else.

It's like a Simpsons' episode wrapped in a Monty Python skit on the set of the old Morton Downy Jr. show.

Apparently HIV is feared so little now that people have "HIV roulette" parties where they have an orgy with one person that has HIV but no one knows who.

I read about that the other day. They're doing it in Spain, I believe.

And someone posted a thread here like a year ago about "bug chasers" who are basically gay dudes that are actively trying to contract the virus.


Weird ass shit, man.

Not stolen but a local did try to throw a bucket of water on it.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/27/americ...rown-at-torch/

Yeah, and we all thought Sochi was cra cra.

I agree with the sentiment-the fallen athletes should be remembered....but is this a good idea considering ISIS is running rampant?

http://www.jta.org/2015/03/02/news-o...d-other-deaths

Kind of poking the bear, is it not.

Compete in bacteria and feces filled water?

Athletes at Rio Olympics to compete in 'basically raw sewage', study reveals

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...-study-reveals

"An AP analysis of water quality revealed dangerously high levels of viruses and bacteria from human sewage in Olympic and Paralympic venues – results that alarmed international experts and dismayed competitors training in Rio, some of whom have already fallen ill with fevers, vomiting and diarrhea."

"Despite decades of official pledges to clean up the mess, the stench of raw sewage still greets travelers touching down at Rio’s international airport. Prime beaches are deserted because the surf is thick with putrid sludge, and periodic die-offs leave the Olympic lake, Rodrigo de Freitas, littered with rotting fish."

"Kristina Mena, a US expert in risk assessment for waterborne viruses, examined the AP data and estimated that international athletes at all water venues would have a 99% chance of infection if they ingested just three teaspoons of water – though whether a person will fall ill depends on immunity and other factors.

Rio 2016 - Bring Cash!

City of God is an amazing movie

This. WTF?????????????

Can you imagine getting off the airplane in Rio and seeing that?

This isn't totally true.

The parade was over. It flipped its shit and a cop shot it at the zoo it lived at. It didn't actually attack anything. And it wasn't the official mascot of the Olympics.

Another jaguar is the mascot of the Brazilian Olympic team and I think it's a cartoon.

And it happened a while back, at least a week ago

But you had everything else right

Rio Olympics.....future 30for30 disaster documentary.

Unfortunately you hit the nail on the head. I love the Olympics, and look forward to them, but these games should be cancelled b/c I do not believe Brazil's gov't has the resources or the capacity to adequately secure them. This is the REAL danger NOT Zika.

That's week 1

The second week is track.

If you want to see other sports (or the entire competitions) download the NBC app (which most of the time is the IOC feed).

BTW I think Rio is just 2 hours ahead of KC.

If anyone wants a taste of what a wretched shithole that city is go poke around on Google Streetview for a while. And I'm sure they didn't even bother going into the worst areas.

I think it's why they started using driverless cars.

:clap::clap:

That shit was the bomb!

Maybe they should fill the giant stadium torch with citronella to keep the zika mosquitos away.

It will probably feel just like the Jewish and Black athletes felt going to the games in the summer of 1936 held in Berlin.

Poverty, danger, war looming around every corner, walls built to hide the ghettos.

ROFL Between ISIS, violent gangs, sewage water with disease to swim in, corrupt police- I think zika may be the least of the problems there.

And now this....

https://ca.news.yahoo.com/body-parts...1016--spt.html

Good point. It's the Olympics. These people are world class, so let them protect themselves. Line the top of the stadium with archers and javelin throwers. Use the gymnasts to be sure that the trusses of the stadium don't have bombs. Get the powerlifters and wrestlers to man the ticket gates. There's a reason that these events exist in the first place, and it's to show who the best warriors are.

(By the way, this would be a great movie script. Can the Olympic athletes survive and escape Rio? I'd watch it.)

That's pleasant. No way would i be going to these games.

"Faster - Higher - Murder"
Posted via Mobile Device

So, a few years ago the wife and I decided it would be cool to take the kids to an Olympics, so we stared a "Rio" fund. Late 2014, we ran into some natives of Brazil who said "under no circumstances should you take your children anywhere near that city". So instead, her and I took a nice trip to the Rio in Vegas during May of 2015 instead. Lost a grand at the tables and got bed bugs from the hotel and still feel like we got the much better end of the deal.

LMAO

That sounds awful but at least your family members didn't get Zika.

That's what I'm sayin.


Ultimately we were able to eradicate the bed bugs for about $1500. Got off way lucky there, from what I've heard.

FORMER Brazil soccer great Rivaldo is telling tourists to stay away from the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro because “you’ll be putting your life at risk”.


http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/spo...3ed52a2585d455

I stayed at the Rio when it was brand new. Beautiful hotel, shitty service,and we had to walk a mile from our room to the elevators every time we wanted to leave. Terrible layout.

The dealers were not friendly but pulled $500 off the craps table there. Would not go back.

They should have a couple of floors where the room are $10 a night, but they're 40 square feet and never get cleaned. Call them the Favela floors.

LMAO

Lifetime love for female sprinters remains unabated.

Without the doped up Russians in the Olympics-our track and field teams should dominate.

If you are planning a terror attack on the Olympics- you might not want to brag about it on Social Media beforehand.

http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/...r-arrests.html

Local police arrested 10 people in 10 states across Brazil on Thursday for purportedly pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group and communicating through social media about a potential attack during the Summer Olympics, FOX News reported. Authorities described the suspects at “complete amateurs,” but noted that some had attempted to secure weapons, including an AK-47 assault rifle.

Who's worse when it comes to exploiting a countries' infrastructure: FIFA or the IOC?
