  • Rio Olympics

    So I checked the medals tables this morning.

    It seems just so that the only U.S. gold so far is in shooting.
    One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

    It is their national sport after all.

        Oops, hadn't see the other olympics thread. Feel free to merge, or let this one die.

          All you can do as a competitor is give it your best shot...

            I always love beach volleyball. The men wear modest outfits while the women wear almost nothing. I'm sure that when the women's league started the promoters figured this would get more men to watch. But it's an established sport now. Is the only way people will watch is if they sell the sexy side of the sport?

              Well, it is "beach" volleyball, so swimwear is at least one logical option.

              Women's volleyball outfits are like an entitlement program. Now that viewers have it, they feel like they deserve it.
              Trying taking it away and there will be no end to the whining.

                Why on earth would anyone watch volleyball that didn't include scantily clad hot women bouncing g and jiggling?

                  I would watch men's volleyball if they were scantily clad.

                          Brazil looks like a flaming dumpster fire. Also, having the rowing events in sewer water is a crime.

                          Opening their economy up to free trade so they can actually afford to build sewage treatment plants would be one of the infrastructure projects I meantioned to Cockey and which he said was stupid. They also ha e a lot of politically connected unions who get rent seeking laws pased. Brazil needs to lower the costs of basic infrastructure so they can actually get basic things like enough clean drinking water and actually treat sewage before dumping it in rivers and the ocean.

                            Free trade will do nothing to help them except making people more poor and helping the elite have even more money. Free trade doesn't build infrastructure projects. Your views are so naive...
