Olympians officially terrified of green ‘fart-smelling’ water

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.

~SNIP~

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.

It's a true embarrassment. 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 that's a helluva thing to bring up... I was pleased Obama got smacked over that.

But Rio isn't even an Olympics - it's a sewer. Those athletes are risking genuine illness, even their lives. It's an atrocity.

And nobody is attending the events. The vast majority of seats for the US-Sweden Women’s soccer game were empty.

Stadiums for Women’s soccer were pretty full for London IIRC.

Like I said, they probably bought their CHLORINE from CHINA.

Hopefully, this will be the final Olympics. I tired of their pretentious satanic opening rituals many Olympics ago.

Brazilians did NOT put a man on the moon. To my knowledge...But they sure know how to put a turd in the pool!

Reminds me of Bill Murray scene in Caddyshack.

Someone should throw a Baby Ruth bar into the pool.

The Brazilians will find some shock then.

I do think this will be the last time a 3rd world country will be chosen to host.
