What an international joke the IOC is for selecting a 3rd world country to host these Olympics.

But, hey, go anyway, let's Celebrate Diversity!

Don’t worry about Ebola, but now is the time to fear Zika.

What?
I smell a rat.

Does anyone know the symptoms of Zika and the dangers of contracting it other than birth defects?

Thought I read here a couple days ago, that there’s no real evidence tying Zika to the problem. Is that correct? Although I can understand not taking the chance.

Wonderful. I have a relative that is a serious contender for a medal in the women’s discus.

I think many athletes are a lot more concerned about the super polluted toxic water they are being required to swim in.

Zika my ass, what about the frick’n ‘toilet’ that Rio calls the ocean and bay they will be holding the open water sports in? The idea that IOC would award the games to a country with this many sanitation problems is beyond me. They should have told them, clean up first, then we’ll give you the games.
