Welp
can't wait for 1 - 7 all over again
This is turning into a disaster
>>68593432
>Pan Am games will be a disaster in Brazil
>The WC will be a disaster in Brazil
We can't plan shit well, but we now how to improvise
>>68593533
it's different this time lad. Your government can not handle it this year. They are spending a shit load of money on stadiums, you don't think people will be pissed? I know it brings tourism, but I can already see riots happening.
I have a hard time seeing how the Olympics this summer will have a chance of happening at all. Aren't the stadiums only like half or 75% done?
>>68593953
So you think they'll just cancel the olympics if some stadiums don't get completed in time?
It's for the good of the games that we host them in 3rd world shit holes!
>>68593740
But now it will be only in Rio, not nationwide
(but I'm waiting for the definite impeachment of Dilma, though)
>>68594237
You're a dumb monkey
>>68593399
1-7 in what? They fucking suck at literally everything without exception save for football, that's why 1-7 so hilarious.
>>68594168
the best scenario is to cancel and postpone olympics to 2017, move events to los angeles or london
will this be the worst olympics of all time ?
>Rename the Zika Virus to Olympic Fever
problems solved tbqh
>>68594531
the black huege
I think the worst part about the Olympics is that the TV stations like NBC are going to do all they can not to document all of the things going wrong - the pollution and the crime. Just continuous flyover shots of the Redeemer statue and a commentary desk in front of the only garden in Rio.
How many deaths will happen?
>>68593329
It was extremely irresponsible submit the application. Now the country sinks into crisis.
But an addendum is required: The budget of the Olympics is prominently paid by the federal government - and, to a lesser extent, by the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. The state government - which, like all others, is on the verge of bankruptcy - bears little participation in the financing.
Anyone else hoping for total chaos? I don't mean riots and violence, just that the whole thing is a complete fuck up.
>allowing third world countries to host major sporting events
>>68593329
Why not just hold it in Syria to.prove once and for all islam is peaceful?
>>68595511
No, I hope it's peaceful and well run and full of inspiring performances and good sportsmanship between nations and a healing moment for the world.
But it will be fun to watch if it does descend into chaos.
Unless there's a terrorist bombing.
as much as i wish to see hell breaking lose, we all know nothing is going to happen, again
Agamben is laughing somewhere tßh
This is just a political maneuver, the Rio mayor is just trying to get money quick without the usual bureaucracy.
So, how many tourists will die during these Olympics?
>>68594531
top kek
>>68596875
Not nearly enough
>>68594531
OLYMPIC FEVER....CATCH IT
Does that mean the Death March will become a literal one?
Do Zika babbies end up looking like those guys in the waiting room in Beetlejuice
>>68596111
This
>>68593329
>And people ask why Boston said no
the olympics are just 4 year shitshows no one really cares about any more anyway.
>>68596111
except the city's finance are doing fine you dumbfuck, the state government that is fucked
>>68594480
best of all time for memes and hilarity.
>>68599840
That's what I implied.
>>68599786
A lot of people still care about the olympics, though its importance has declined in the internet age. Boston is just a provincial lot who abhor tourists in the best of times, much less when there's a couple hundred thousand of them.
>>68600199
>Boston is just a provincial lot who abhor tourists in the best of times
we don't just hate tourists, we hate everyone, otherwise we'd be racist.
The boxing is the only fun part about the olympics, but even that kind of sucks because of the judges.
>>68600396
it's too bad it's some of the only boxing people watch because "lmao I don't pay-per-view!"
They should at least move the events that take place on open water.
>>68600234
Fuck everyone from Quincy and Dorchester tho
>>68600467
they should really cancel tbtqh, the olympics are mostly dead anyways.
>>68600512
That's given, m80.
It's OK if you don't get pregnant right?
actually hype for how shoddy it is going to be
>>68593533
olympics is 50x harder to host than a football world cup
>>68594168
>though luck
the rio opening ceremony is an unmissable event. i might have to leave work early just to catch it
Brazil bro's I'm visiting your country in August.
Any recommendations for me so that I don't get stabbed/shot or mugged?
I'm going to San Paolo and Rio before moving on to Peru.
>>68610912
Don't wander into favelas, and don't flaunt iShit - they're worth the equivalent of $10000s in here
>>68593329
no major event should be hosted in 3rd world countries, not only because its hard for them to do, but because they should be spending their money on important shit
>>68594313
Neymar is playing for the futbol gold
It would be fun to see another 7-1 with him on the field
>>68593399
>tfw 7-1 happens again Brazil might actually burn down
This will be the Olympic equivalent of the Delhi Commonwealth Games.
>yfw a Brazilian fan group spring their master plan after two years and take the German Olympic team hostage and kill 7 of them on live tv
>>68601784
Literally noone knows, as zika isnt well studied enough. We do know it seriously fucks up gestating babies and their mothers - wanna gamble with a disease that can do that? Your funeral
>>68611898
I don't recall the Dehli games being too bad really.

america isn't part of them lad dw
Best describe this olympics in 4 words .
>self destructing shit storm .
>>68593329
>fast spreading, fetal deforming virus rampant in hot tropical environment
>in a state already so corrupt they are paying off drug lords to bulldoze their favallas and displace their own poor and desperate people
>the worlds governments are about to send droves of their brightest and most athletic citizens to this disease infested ghetto in the name of tradition and sport
Not only is the human race stupid, it's borderline suicidal. We don't deserve to make it another 1000 years ;_;7
>>68612021
I know, but the implication was something bad happened there so I was wondering what it was.
>>68593329
Well I hope they televise the food riots.
>>68593953
If Brazil fucks up the olympics they should be nuked on principal.
>>68594297
>>68595056
Probably. They bitched about China and Russia countless times but that's apart of their agenda I suppose.
>>68593740
>I know it brings tourism
There is a mountain of economic evidence that says building new stadiums with public money is a godawful idea.
Using public money to fund the construction of new stadiums for things like World Cup/Olympics/whatever else is just a shameless attempt by politicians to try and create a legacy for themselves
>>68612004
>New Zealand, Canada, Scotland and Northern Ireland have expressed concern about unliveable conditions.[57] The Times of India newspaper reports that the Scottish delegation apparently submitted a photograph of a dog defecating on a bed in the games village.[58] Hooper said that there was "excrement in places it shouldn't be" in the athletes' quarters and that members of visiting delegations had to help clean up the unsanitary things.[59] The BBC released images of bathrooms with brown-coloured paan stains on the walls and floor, liquids on the floor, and brown paw prints on athletes' beds.[60] Lalit Bhanot, the secretary general of the Organising Committee, rejected the complaint that sanitation was poor by saying that, due to cultural differences, there are different standards about cleanliness in India and the western world, a statement for which he was widely ridiculed in Indian and international media.[61] Bhanot went on to say of the athletes' village that, "This is a world-class village, probably one of the best ever."[61]
>>68594531
Catchy
>>68614291
wow how racist. Brown people host the olympics and now everyone doesn't want to go.
>>68614291
HUE HUE HUE HUE
>>68614291
SUPERPOWER BY 2030
>>68600512
And Hingham, Newton, Wellesley and Milton, they are shitters too.
I hope the shitstorm will provide the filmmakers good inspiration for Elite Squad 3

Because then you can't have women compete or attend the events

Zika is a summer disease. Literally near 0 reported cases these last months.
>>68593329
Is Brazil 3rd world
>>68627796
No it's not. It's a rich and beautifull country with friendly people.
>>68627796
some cities i imagine. i hear the lower south coast is nice.
>>68627796
Depends on where you are I'd imagine. If it is 3rd world that says a lot about how shitty South America is
