2016 Summer Olympics - Ready or not, here we come!!

Re: 2016 Summer Olympics - Ready or not, here we come!!

My experience has been that the locals love to see American tourists because we have money.

Yep. You have to really act like a dick to get the locals mad at you as an American...*stuff I can't comment on*

But in general the way to any local's heart (or bed) is speak English and be white. They see nothing but dollars.

Yep

You're wrong. Deal with it.

Did you even read the article I linked to? The USOC wants their athletes to note any issues and complaints about accommodations directly to the USOC who will deal with it. And they have, get anything fixed that needs fixing, even bringing in US contractors to do the work. That's the right way to handle the "minor" stuff. Not be some kind of blowhard in the press or on a message board.

You're not dealing with it very well...

This is so off the wall, it has to be true!!

@pkelso: Hearing an Olympic kayaker may have capsized after hitting a submerged sofa. Story of day & possibly the week if true. #kayaksofa #Rio2016

The flaming dumpster Olympic torch ceremonies beginneth.
 
Re: 2016 Summer Olympics - Ready or not, here we come!!

I hate the opening ceremonies. I think I have since Bob Costas (who I actually like, I know...) and the rest of the broadcasters ruined Salt Lake City because they wouldn't just shut the fu-k up for five fu-king seconds.

Agreed, does nothing for me. Don't think Costas ruined them for me, I just think they're boring.

The worst thing about the Olympics is the US network coverage. Stream the Brit or Canuck coverage if you can find.

Actually the best way to watch something like the Olympics is a network in a language you don't understand.

I just want the broadcast with absolutely zero talking until the athletes enter.

Even if I got everything I wanted, not sure I'd watch it. Unless it was in America again. Then I would soak up all the muricaporn I could.

Parade of Nations is about to start. So happy NBC got told to go screw themselves when they asked to move the US place in the order.

Anybody else notice the high quantity of blonde, white children acting as escorts on behalf of Brazil to the various nations? Hmm.. sprechen sie Portugiesisch?
