They’re looking for an excuse to cancel the Olympics do to the crime without saying it’s due to the crime.

Small and deadly it lies there waiting
The germ from Impanema, flagellating
And when ingested the swimmers all go,
Aaahhh!

We warned you Olympians months ago. Of the filth lakes, of Zika and all the violent crime. Many of you didn’t want to hear it, because you have been preparing years for this moment. Well, here’s a new moment to prepare for.

Isn’t it too late to cancel something that big?
Where could they stage it instead. Puerto Rico maybe?

I was in Rio in 2001 and was very disappointed when I went to the beach and the only topless were men.

This is what happens when the crooked IOC shuns the US and puts the Olympics in some “developing” nation.

This could very well be the end of the Olympics as we know it. The IOC now has to beg countries to bid on the Games.

Most likely we’ll see the Games split between several countries in the future.

Tell those flopping beach goers in Rio, to put their tops on while on the beach....obviously not a safe practice.

“The CDC says studies show that these bacteria contribute to death in up to half of patients infected. “


What,exactly is “up to half’?

How many condoms were going to be provided for this event???

Maybe if each athlete had a full body condom.

Fortunately for us, that obama and his wife Michael fail to get the 2016 Olympics in Chicago.

Part of the competition has always been to be disease resistant. Only the strong survive.

Don’t really care. Ever since Munich and the Germans did eff all. It’s all just political theatre. The UK doing the surreal ‘NHS ‘ theme was beyond the pale. Made me physically sick.
