Hope Solo posed in the wrong protective cover. Should’ve worn body armor and a helmet, not a mosquito net.

Do you recall that in 2009, 0bama went to Copenhagen to try to sell the IOC on a Chicago Olympics?
The IOC snubbed 0bama and chose Rio for the 2016 Olympics instead.
So things COULD be worse.

Maybe a Chinese team, but probably not their basketball team.

That’s probably why they picked Rio, thought it would be safer.

Great movie. My favorite scene is when he returns to the US and is greeted by a government official with an interpreter. All 3 are speaking English. “Snakebite!”
