There’s something in the water in Rio — and it’s getting worse.
The Olympic diving pool was closed Friday morning as the water continues to be a disturbing, murky shade of green. The concern for those who have been diving into the pool has grown as the problem persists.

Some have speculated algae in the warm outdoor pool could be the issue, while The Sun has helpfully ruled out “excessive pee” as a potential source of the change. A spokesman for the International Swimming Federation told the Los Angeles Times there was a chemical issue with the tanks, though that would do little to explain one German diver describing the odor in the air at the outdoor aquatic center.

At the Olympics?
This is truly ridiculous.
I can almost hear the Olympic theme!
So does any liberal university academic snob.
Quick, somebody make sure Hillary hasn’t been swimming in that water!
The water polo pool looked very murky today. The commentators mentioned that swimmers had been complaining about how much the chemicals burned their eyes. You would think that with that much chlorine it would be crystal clear.
I think maybe they WERE labeled correctly.
The new swimming attire for Rio 2016...............
Not chlorine; just some left over chemicals in the maintenance shed.
Do you remember in 2009 0bama went to Copenhagen to attempt to petition the IOC to award the 2016 games to Chicago?
They ignored him and awarded the games to Rio.
Well, it's green...ain-it?
QUACK!

This is what happens when you award the olympics to a 3rd world country.
Small and green and kind of smelly
Brazil is making countries jelly
That they were able to land the Olympic Games
When they made their best proposal
The IOC just said, “Hey, no, no.
“We are giving Brazil the Olympic Games.”
“Ahh, but the water is toxic.
“The smell, it is making me nauseous.
“And, you expect us to get in it?”
But each day, they give their best try
Despite the flesh-eating bacti
Small and green and kind of smelly
Brazil is making countries jelly
That they were able to land the Olympic Games
The Olympic Games
Land the Olympic Games
“green” water
What could be more suitable for an Olympics whose opening ceremony had a good 10 minutes of enviro-global-warming-cultist-religion-propoganda?
“Well I love that dirty water....Oh, Rio you’re my home....”
and their next achievement should come any century now....
Is that Iggy Pop?
