Dylan Campbell
JUST.
Ethan Watson
We coup now.
Liam Powell
>without a hitch
damn huehues still won't admit they've fucked these olympics up massively
Hunter Mitchell
They aren't really quitting. They only volunteered to get the uniform and clock, so they can sell it at a high price in the internet as a souvenir.
Matthew Ramirez
do you brazilfags ever get tired of defending this clear shitshow?!
Lincoln Cooper
no
Matthew Rodriguez
It's going without a hitch tho.
No, because it makes most of this board mad as fuck.
Dylan Miller
If only more volunteers had met their Spar Trajkovic
Jayden Adams
Clear bait thread but most will bite anyway
Julian Roberts
Good. IOC could very likely afford to pay all these workers. I hope more quit. Still haven't seen how them quitting is affecting the games.
Connor Nguyen
>I- I was just pretending to be retarded, joke's on you, hehe
Xavier Taylor
>Sponsors are going to make money off the Olympics
>Constructors are going to make money off the Olympics
>Media is going to make money off the Olympics
>Athletes are going to make money off the Olympics
Is it correct to say that volunteers in the Olympics are retarded?
Easton Adams
The problem is that you just expect us to agree with you and roll over, that's not going to happen.
Adrian White
Are you out of excuses for the low attendance yet?
>the tickets are too expensive
>no one actually cares about any of these bullshit disciplines
>why would I go watch a sport anyway??!? let me post about how stupid watching sports is on a dedicated sport discussion image board which I attend regularly
>it was too cold and rainy, who'd go
>it was too hot, why would I go look at some people running lol
>
Jacob Brooks
The main excuse is that we don't care about most sports. 85% of the tickets were sold, money is not the problem. People just don't give a fuck about meme sports.
Christopher Gutierrez
OLIVED
Grayson Watson
that was included in my list, come up with something new
Hunter Morales
It's not a excuse when it's the truth. People go, watch a bit, see it's boring as fuck and then leave to eat outside or go to the beach.
Isaiah Morales
>let's buy a ticket and not show up
What?
Also it's the fucking olympics. Anything below 99% of all tickets sold is a disaster.
Andrew Perez
>money is not the problem.
It is a problem. Stop damage controlling.
>Brazil’s Secretariat of Strategic Affairs last defined “middle class” in 2012 as anyone living in a household with per capita income of R$291-R$1,019 ($99-$347) per month, although definitions vary slightly across the country’s institutions.
ft.com
>One friend of mine, from a favela in Rio, complains bitterly that she and her family are now considered ‘middle class’ while they face exclusion, hardship, and even open prejudice and racism every single day. The government is right to include her in the demographic middle class. But she’s also very right.
frombrazil.blogfolha.uol.com.br
>The document, produced by the Presidential Office of Strategic Affairs, sets a per capita monthly income of 291 reais ($75) as the threshold for middle class status.
latino.foxnews.com
>The very notion of middle class in Brazil is quite different from the standards of North America and Western Europe.
>Instead, the term is used broadly to include almost anyone able to pay rent, put food on the table and perhaps pay a monthly installment on the refrigerator, microwave or television that Brazil's government often touts as a sign of their emergence. The so-called "Classe C," the bottom rung of Brazil's middle class, earns as little as 1730 reais a month, about $430, and, unlike the much-smaller upper middle class, relies largely on public transportation, health services and schools.

Samuel Cook
I don't know why you keep repeating it, it is the worst excuse. I don't know why the IOC expects the thirds world countries to be even slightly cultured.
Wyatt Robinson
Nice articles but where does it say anything about ticket sales. They were sold, people are just not going and the IOC refuses to give the rest to schoolchildren.
Liam Myers
>They were sold, people are just not going
heh, honorary American for all the shit you produce
Aaron Stewart
CUTE
Parker Barnes
sudacas already consider themselves 'american' because they're too but hurt to admit the seven continent model is the correct one
Blake Collins
The mayor tried to buy the tickets from the IOC, but the courts prohibited it for electoral reasons. That's a win for us, as they would be bought with our money.
Oliver Watson
I'm quite certain if the Olympics were in any European city, all events would be filled out, yes even the "boring" ones. You know why? Because people would come for the atmosphere and the experience, because it's a massive fucking event for which athletes and fans from all around the world come.
But since Rio is a hellhole where most people are happy if they're not being shot by black 15 year olds, you can't understand these concepts.
Eli Cruz
>That's a win for us, as they would be bought with our money.
You're financing these entire Olympic Games without even seeing a single centavo of tax paid by the IOC.
What a win for you.
Jose Richardson
Blame the IOC.
It's in the article. Those fucks have $900 per diem and don't provide shit for the volunteers?!
Fuck them. This is not on Rio. Fuck IOC.
Evan Davis
I didn't want these olympics when they were announced. Glad that we didn't give away more money for giving away tix.
Nolan Ortiz
>Glad that we didn't give away more money for giving away tix.
>spend 10 Billion bucks on Olympics
>"i'm glad that they didn't spend a hundred grand more"
Adam Wood
It was actually 5 billion USD. The IOC says ticket sales are on target (don't know why empty seats, but can speculate). And yes, I am glad we don't spend more money on it.
David Foster
Just imagine how bad the paralympics are gonna be.
Channel 4 UK is gonna have a field day.
Nathan Mitchell
Never watched a paralympics. Never cared for it either. Don't think any brazilian cares. Unaware if anyone in the world actually watches it.
Jose Cruz
Paralympics in RIO? Will they include those with Zika?
Brandon Phillips
>Don't think any brazilian cares.
You dont, thats why its going to be so entertaining for me. Ch4 in the UK is going to make olympic officials squirm when shit goes wrong in the Paralympics.
Luke Garcia
Why the hell are people trying so hard to make the Olympics look like a disaster? Even Sup Forums isn't this autistic about it.
So far there were issues with the village, public attendance and the water color, but those are minor problems. I get you guys were expecting terrorist attacks, zika outbreaks and riots, but getting so pissed because people didn't get hurt is just ridiculous.
I came to Rio expecting to get robbed at least, but so far it's going great. Your soldiers are chill as fuck and quite good at keeping shit at bay. You monkeys did a good job.
Cameron Roberts
Awesome. The IOC needs a kick in the butt. Not that they will give a shit since they will keep on doing what they do, which is filling their pockets.
Camden Bell
Cops here are anything but chill af. Army has to be tho (and they are deployed to intimidate, not act).
I think the banter here is just for lolz. Some people are butthurt with the crowds. But the games are going on without any significant problems.
Bentley Butler
watch weightlifting now.
The crowd is a absolute disgrace
Henry Hill

>pay a monthly installment on the refrigerator, microwave or television
BUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
BUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Brandon Wood
funny, i am watching that now too. people are cheering big for the georgian.
Liam Perry
>I came to Rio
Where are you from?
Sebastian White
I live here.
Jonathan Reyes
dont forget that coach that got killed in the hue taxi when they crashed into a wall
Joseph Ortiz
People die in car accidents. Sorry.
Jonathan Martinez
I'm from Bolivia.
I'd be surprised if there were no accidents and robberies at all, after all, only counting the athletes there are 10 thousand, and it's Rio.
From what I've seen, the only way someone could possibly get robbed is by going near ghettos or being extremely unlucky, security is quite tight. Last time I came here you could still find kids roaming about in big traffic areas.
Juan Morris
>me on the right
Henry Williams
There was the car crash and the Lochte mugging. I wish we had more deets on that mugging, but he didn't file a police report so we'll never know.
Don't kid yourself tho. Muggings happen to the richfags in copa/ipanema/leblon more often than you think.
Cooper Bell
And the country host is also retarded that doomed the finances of a city to make money for those jews.

thanks based brazilbro, it's nice at least one of you isn't a subhuman huemonkey in total denial about what a complete and utter shitshow these games have been
Jonathan Torres
His research is missing the multiple shootouts this week which killed at least 7 & wounded many more in the ghettos. But he did mention Lochte's hair turning green and some celeb having difficulty to get an ambulance. Hey, at least he ain't complaining about the booing.
Caleb Robinson
She's not a looker, but that's cute as fuck
