Olympics will be a joy to watch
After watching the exuberance and pure joy of the relatively unknown athletes who qualified for the U.S. Olympic team last weekend, I found myself amazed that anyone cares that filthy-rich athletes, such as Jason Day and Pau Gasol, might not participate in the Olympics due to their fear of getting a mosquito bite. I predict that the Olympics will be a huge success. The fact that a few cowards won't go and face the same thing the average Brazil citizen faces every day won't make a bit of difference to me.
