The Olympics... will that happen?
I love the Olympics, winter and summer. There is something about the messiness of it that appeals to me in part-- the controversies, the odd nations cropping up in unexpected places, and the sports that seem to have cropped up suddenly.
As has been discussed here before, though, this year might be a little TOO messy. Rio is kind of a disaster, between Zika, financial struggles, incomplete venues, doping scandals, and polluted venues.
The weird thing is that I have heard very little about the Olympics, which are now about a month away. What's up with that? Shouldn't we be starting to see the ads and learning the backstories? Will this thing even happen?
