Olympic Officials Can’t Seem To Get Anything Right, Lose Keys To Olympic Stadium
Yesterday marked the official first day of the 2016 Olympic games as the women’s soccer tournament kicked off. While the opening ceremonies will be held Friday, starting soccer earlier was needed to cram everything in over the next two and a half weeks. However, it seems that officials weren’t quite ready for things to start Wednesday at Olympic Stadium.
They lost the keys to open the east gate and needed firemen to break the lock.
Personally, I think this is a good thing. Everyone in the media, myself included, was worried about the safety of our athletes and fans. This is simply Brazil officials letting us know that these Olympics are safe for everyone. What better way to show off how safe you are than locking a lock and throwing away the key?
Just a smart move by Brazil to change perception days before the opening ceremonies. Side note: The US Women started strong, beating New Zealand 2-0. Might as well give us the gold now..

9 years ago at 10:42 amYou take enough laps to rival any olympic runner.
9 years ago at 11:56 amYou’re dead, Pledge…
9 years ago at 10:46 amTry to throw these countries a bone because it seems like the right thing to do but they just aren’t ready for prime time.
9 years ago at 10:57 amOnly countries with democratic capitalist governments should even be considered. Rewarding countries who have egregious human rights violations only encourages them to continue their atrocious behavior and policies.
9 years ago at 1:47 pmTL;DR: No bid
The St. Louis Olympics WERE a human rights violation.
9 years ago at 9:53 pmThe buildup for how much of a clusterfuck this is going to be is practically unprecedented. Best grab some popcorn and watch this historically large heap of shit hit the fan.
9 years ago at 10:57 amonly First world countries with a certain GDP should be able to host the Olympics.
Either that, or we should have permanent Olympic village locations.
