Kurieg posted:30% of Rio doesn't have a functioning sewer system and their toilets just flush out into the street and sochi was a mess and bejing was going to kill everyone with toxic smog here's the thing: the olympics themselves will look great when the camera is rolling. everything else is poo poo but when the lights go on Rio will be another boring olympic games.

LA, Sydney and Barcelona are the only 3 competent summer game host cities. let them take turns hosting from now on. winter can stay in salt lake forever IMO.

I fully agree that they'll look good on TV, that's why the "live" broadcast has a 1 hour delay (at minimum), I'm just on the edge of my seat to see how many non-sports-related records will be broken

I've heard a few times about keeping the Olympics in one specific place, I've seen Greece mentioned, and not having the travel around, is this feasible/a good idea?

Because I assure you that's very rarely the case in modern times, and was very very very much not the case for Greece No, I'm saying that if the olympics were consistently held in one country they wouldn't have to invest in completely new infrastructure every 4 years and in the case of Greece it would allow them to pay off their EU loans.

That's a fair assessment. Greece would still find a way to make 10 billion dollars or more disappear into the pockets of contracting companies and politicians every four years without fail.

Don't forget that the IOC is so hilariously corrupt that FIFA looks honest by comparison.

Some people are getting upset about some real-world authenticity in their fantasy soccer game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xt0zQFwqW0 One of the characters supposedly repeatedly calls opposing characters "oval office" when their shots are blocked.

Mak0rz posted:Doesn't Johnny Knoxville or Steve-O or someone have a permanent catheter or whatever because their urethra collapsed from so much dick trauma? Knoxville. He tore his urethra during a Nitro Circus stunt when he tried to backflip a dirt bike and it landed directly on his penis, and he now has to insert a moist catheter into his urethra all the way to his bladder (about 10 or 11 inches) twice a day to prevent scar tissue from building up. If there was enough scar tissue to shrink his tube, he'd need an operation to widen it. He's described his penis as "a sock that's lost its elasticity" and "a dog's chew toy". I think he also needs a catheter and bag to pee and has to have it connected when he's sleeping.
