The bad guys are not only the drug gangs. Corruption in government is rampant, much like New York City in the 1970's, where more than half of the cops were on the take.

They really gotta do something about this!!!

It's not too late to make it a new Olympic event.

Probably the gangs in the favelas are getting ready for 2016 Olympics.

Yeah. Right after they get done solving the energy crisis and ending world hunger. Won't be long, I'm sure.

The war for the perfect drug.

I love the new Olympic site. I think it is going to be one heck of a show. I just hope that they have enough body bags on hand to handle all the fun.

The Olympics is a corrupt waste of money.

And just think, they Olympic committee passed over one of America's consistent top-3 cities for homicides (and yes, guns are banned in Chicago) for Rio. Way to go! Next thing you know, the Nobel Peace Prize will go to a newly elected president who hasn't done anything...

Maybe there is a conspiracy to rid the world of bone headed sports fans and this is the reason the Olympics are to be in Rio and the world cup in South Africa. I admit that there are possibly more dangerous places to hold these two sports fests but if you also want good news coverage of the carnage these are probably best in the they have good access for the worlds media. Maybe that’s it , a new televised blood sport for the 21st century. I think this time round I might be watching the Olympics, this time there might actually be something to watch.

Sport is a game, not a religion.
