"Why not? It should be the test of a true champion!"
Agreed! Welcome to the real world.
Not to long ago the Potomac river was like that right in D.C.
And what was the name of that river in Ohio that used to catch fire all the time?

It is Rio, and everyone knows if you are swimming off Copacabana, chances are you are swimming in poop from the favelas. Everyone in Rio knows this much. I think attendance for swimming events may be up this year because of this fact alone. Pooplympics 2016!!! Boas fiestas, y’all!

They should do what we do in Victoria, BC, Canada, build a long pipe and dump it far, far away (although quite close to Port Angeles but don’t tell anyone okay?).

“If you visit Rio city,
You will find it very pretty.
Just two things of which you must beware:
Don’t drink the water and don’t breathe the air!”
My apologies to Tom Lehrer.
Bottom line, such risks are why the term “Turd World” was coined.

Hey...I thought brazil “promised” to have fully operational sewage treatment in place there. Oh, wait. They are corrupt socialists and they delayed that until 2024. Oh, never mind. Note to athletes: don’t ingest that bobbing brown thing!

They get sick from the polluted Brazilian water? Who knew Olympic athletes were so racist? They need to check their privilege.
Best post on FR all day--possibly all week.

The problem is that thousands of idiots are going to go to the games in Brazil, get Zika, and then spread it all around the globe.
Hot Zone or Contagion here we come!

What the hell! Warn us first if you’re going to do that!
