Besides USA hosting the Olympics, I have a guilty pleasure for having the host team lose and see the humiliation of the athletes and the fans. So far women's soccer and volleyball are my favorite for tears.
Thanks for the heads up. Is Canada favored to beat them? Like three of their soccer players look like old house maids. Their look of defeat is the look of cleaning our toilet while taco bell had the volcano burrito.Make sure you tune tomorrow morning at 9am to watch Team Canada beat the Brazil Women's soccer team for the bronze. Should be very salty.
I'm with the Brazilians on that one. Always heckle the opposition on your home turf. This is war, motherfuckers.
After the second set of Germany/Brazil beach volleyball was the quietest I've seen a crowd go ever. Filled to capacity cheering the entire first match, I shit you not, you could hear the 30 odd Germany fans casually talking the second set.Honestly, when the brazillian public boos athletes that were caught for using PEDs, I am with them. When they boo tennis super star Nadal because he does not have the self-conscience and restraint to not over-celebrate his points when facing a local underdog, I am with them. But when they whistle and boo the people who compete against the brazilians, they lose me. I mean they were whistling at a pole-jumper! What's up with that? How retarded can one be? Apparently the stuff is contagious, because it makes me want to see the brazilian athletes lose, just to shut up their terrible fans!
PS: The pole jumper (french athlete Lavillenie - World Record holder, Gold in London) who got Silver behind brazilian youngster Braz Da Silva had the stupid idea to complain about it in an interview, saying, I paraphrase, he felt like Jesse Owens at the Berlin 36 games (hosted by Nazi Germany). On top of being probably inaccurate (the german public cheered for Owens and I couldn't find mention of the crowd treating him poorly during the long jump final where a german took Silver) it had the effect of him being booed during the medal ceremony!
No, it isn't. Booing someone for no reason is every bit as classless as calling the people who just beat you cowards.
It was pretty cool to see Ashton Eaton stalk second place for three laps, then blow his doors off on the final kick. It seems insane to stay good enough at that many events for that many years.
75+ KG female, Sarah Robles got a bronze, after not lifting a single weight on the Olympic trials. There was a big controversy over that. But the US Weightlifting Comitee was right in sending her. Sarah gave the US the only medal in weightlifting.I would assume weightlifting?
I thought it was obvious he was lying, at least a little, when his story included tough guy shit like telling the gunman "fuck you, I'm not getting on the ground."
I thought he was lying at first too. But now that I've heard the Brazilians side of the story, it's pretty fucking obvious he was shaken down by a security guard. Can't blame him for trying to report that. In first world countries that shit is frowned upon. But in Brazail it's so common that even the government is trying to shake down the people who reported it. It's like they're saying "No, that's not a crime, its normal. Now you have to give us $10k to forget about it. See how common it is?"
