2016 Rio Olympics is an absolute joke.
* Hosted in Rio, Brazil, a third world country
* Rio had to beg the government for more money to fund Olympics
* Brazil as a country is currently experiencing massive recession (worst one since 1930s), shrank -5.4% last year
* Political instability and economic crisis
* Ongoing Zika outbreak that tourists will catch and spread world-wide
* The waters surrounding Rio are heavily polluted and raw sewage is leaked directly into the waters. Olympic athletes that have trained have already gotten sick en masse
* Dead body parts washed up in the shores where Olympic volleyball teams are training
* "a doping scandal in which Brazil's only testing lab was suspended"
* Police officers are not getting paid
* High crime that became even higher because not enough funds to pay police officers
* Athletes from around the world coming to Rio have already been mugged at gun-point
* Construction not close to done and there's a little over a month left until Olympics start
* Designers, constructor, and supervisor of the buildings are all one group, when usually three separate groups. Said they have cut corners and ignored protocols to speed construction up
* Transportation and facilities not done, "metro project just four days before the Olympics begin"
* Athletes are refusing to attend Olympics due to Zika/pollution
* Locals are anxious whether or not it's worth it, similar to 2014 FIFA world cup facilities, built but never used again
* Shot dead the Rio Olympics mascot (a real jaguar)
