Brandon Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-reasons-why-2016-summer-olympics-should-be-cancelled/ An interesting read .... I remember watching videos of the water where the swimmers are suppose to compete in.... it was disgusting and I'm amazed that any of the bigger countries would even send any athletes out there.

The Unknown Poster Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I would definitely be concerned about security. Any group or lone nut who wants to make a splash on the world stage must be salivating at the prospects here. However, given all the concerns, I bet the majority of Olympic Athletes would still go. They train their whole lives for this opportunity. I know some American athletes have backed out or expressed concerns. The article mentioned NBA players and Hope Solo - people who dont "need" to go to the Olympics. Will be interesting to see if individual countries threaten to withhold their athletes or if certain national dignitaries stay away over security concerns. Somehow, these things manage to get pulled together in time. But this one is looking rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, people thought Sochi was going to be a gong-show as well (and it did have it's moments) but this one looks like it's on a whole different level. The Russian athletes might have lucked out by getting banned for this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
