If Brazil is making pro football players from Philly nervous it must be off the charts violent.

What Brazil needs is more trannies, homosexuals, and abortions. That will fix everything.

Is Brazil worse than Chicago...or Oakland...or Detroit, or any other city run by Democrats?

We had a foreign homestay student from Brazil a number of years ago. Her family owned a bicycle shop in one of the smaller cities. Bicycling there was a planned trip, with about 20 bicyclist banding together to go for a ride. There was no question that you could not ride by yourself, simply to get from point to point B, or just to do an errand. It was only safe in a very large group excursion.

Brazilian Soccer star Pelé’s mother was kidnapped and held for ransom. When you leave your hotel you are told not to wear jewelry, even a wristwatch, or carry much cash.

Would have been awesome if he said that.

Of course he would have been kicked out of the league so fast.
