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.

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

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.

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: |

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

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! |
