Spectators have the right to defend themselves

Rio In Brazil has not recovered from the olympics as they were forced to destroy mass transit and major country highways and over passes.

Anyway, he opening spectacle is absolutely unbearable.

Marshal law is ridiculous for a first world society for the Olympics, no one is allowed outside and everyone is locked inside thier own homes. 😂😂

A huge number of athletes have been complaining on their accommodations. I think France made a big mistake in trying to push the "Green agenda" too much at the expense of the athlete's comfort and convenience. These are their guest and they should try to give them the best accommodation that they possibly can. South Korean athletes have now also moved out of the olympic village because of how bad it is and how inconvenient the travel accommodation to their competition venue is. Those that did not move out had to buy their own AC units which now basically made the designs of the village moot. Hope France can do some last minute improvements. A lot of the complaints by athletes might sound little but they are important.

Israel is there, I’m not watching and do not imagine I will ever again.
