The Zika virus, raw sewage in the water, widespread fraud & corruption, unfinished venues, political chaos, crime, and now dead bodies on the beach. Can we just go ahead and cancel these Olympics now?

The Olympics have really fallen down the list of "must see" events over the years. When i was a kid, Olympic athletes were the sports stars of their generation. Now, they come and go in a 2-3 week window and are all but forgotten by the end of Summer. It's unfortunate, but the rise of professional sports and the adulation (and marketing) of the pro athlete has made the Olympics almost irrelevant it seems.
Not really because my network channels don't come in half the time so I just learn about it from the internet.Sgt. Largent":1gnpnkgp said:Are you guys excited for the Olympics?
Seems like with the 24/7 global options for sports we're spoiled with now, the Olympics just don't do much for me anymore..........compared to when I was a kid everyone got really pumped up to watch.
I usually still watch, but the Olympics aren't what it used to be.

So basically it's as if we had the Olympics at Oakland Coliseum?

So far ex-Ducks have won the marathon, Mens 10,000, Men's shot put, Men's decathlon and women's 100 meter dash.
Quack.
That's because if you win you go to Rio and you might die in various unpleasant ways!!!JSeahawks":3lq5q0qz said:Through Day 3 (out of 10) Ducks are dominating the Track and field Olympic trials.
