eh.
I will never understand the fascination with sports. Particularly the Olympics. I couldn't care less if Germans can run faster than Armenians, or if Russians can jump higher than Mexicans. Forgetting the fact that we all know the Olympics committee itself is one of the most corrupt organizations on earth, I can't see why everyone is so gung-ho on helping them hoodwink the world. They keep promoting these games as "bringing the world together". What bullshit. It is and always has been an "I'm better than you" contest, which I think is the opposite of harmony. During the rehearsals for this costly ego trip, Juma, a magnificent and innocent jaguar was shot to death during a torch relay event. That would have been enough for me to shut down the whole event. Not to mention that thousands of desperately poor people were tossed out of their ramshackle homes; that this event, like most world affairs is only for the wealthy and privileged or those stupid enough to waste their savings on attending; and it just may result in at least a dozen babies being born with microcephaly because of the zika virus. Sports. Phooey!

If they didn't shut down the games after the Israeli team was murdered in 1972, they'll never shut them down for anything. Hate the Olympics.
