We're now nearly less than a week away from the opening ceremony!
And Surprise surprise: Rio Swimmers are going to swim in HIGHLY POLLUTED WATER inside the arena. Brazil Officials have found a drug resistant super bug inside the water that will questioned the risks of the bacteria.

I think we should name these games the Zikalympics instead...many people are pulling out due to concerns over the virus and it sucks...

I knew Rio was a bad place to host it...the rich get richer and the poor get poorer...I wish it was held in a country who were well prepared in advance.

Y'all been hearing me b**** about the Olympic Committee for a while now. They had the chance to move them to a different place but the corruption is so bad that they won't institute that rule because it would expose them to the sheer amount of backroom dealing to get it to Rio in the first place.

I have a feeling these will be the worst olympics since 1980 because of all the corruption going on...

for something as big as the olympics you'd think they'd have a backup place in case something like this happens
