2016 Olympics-Rio
Security issues and terrorist threats. Zika virus. President of the host nation impeached. Financial turmoil. Russian and other cheaters. a venue hotter than two rats in a wool sock. Host nation's national sport-soccer team sucking. Body parts washing ashore by the beach volleyball. And Golf as an Olympic sport.
Let the games begin.
Let the games begin.

Re: 2016 Olympics-Rio
Lot of golfers catching flak for not going. But, I get it. Like one of them said, no golfer grows up dreaming about a gold medal. It's all about the majors and Ryder Cup. Not to say it's cool to diminish the olympics, but I get it. Zika, dangerous, etc. Zika for child producing age people is no joke. [expletive], there are like 10 cases in Arkansas and I wear bug spray like clothes when working outside.

Good for them for recognizing that Golf as an Olympic sport is complete & utter [expletive].

Re: 2016 Olympics-Rio
I can understand golfers not wanting to play in Olympics because of a mosquito virus. They spend their whole time outside in the grass and trees and what not around them. I can't understand the basketball players using that same excuse they play their games inside of an arena.
