Bribes?

It's quite impossible to leave your home in most of the country and not be scared of robbery. And if you don't bring out anything valuable with you? Then the robber will beat the crap out of you, if you're lucky.

Brazil was a mistake

The IOC and WC (FIFA) are corrupt to the core; but most of the watchers/fans are apathetic to the suffering that these events bring when developing countries cheat in order to obtain them. As long as blind consumerism continues, stories likes Dubai using slaves, water-Olympic events like rowing being warned about dead bodies, etc... will continue to happen.

Oh, plenty of money went to Sochi.

Just not towards infrastructure.

Wasn't Sochi the most expensive Olympics ever? And that's including Summer Olympics.

Reminded me of this crazy GoPro footage of a robbery in Buenos Aires.

What is this? The guy pulls out a gun and fails to take anything? Man you must be a real failure at life when you don't even grab the Go Pro at that point. The victim just trots off. Just plain weird.
