non sports related...
with all the concerns, will the city/country lose control at some point?
what are the dangers they are facing exactly?? im somewhat late to this party..

Everyone's gonna get zika

I'll be very curious to see how many spectators attend this year.

Zika
ETA: Seriously, if this isn't a plot straight from a movie. Terrible virus with little to no symptoms. Brazil is a huge hot spot, and we are sending representatives from every country in the world to visit and then return home.

ISIS will claim responsibility for the Zika virus.

I'm going to Lollapalooza in July. It's about 100,000 people in Chicago. Obviously everyone is unarmed and there is security, but no more than a few cops at each gate. Call me crazy, but I'm a little concerned.
eta assumed you were referring to terrorism in light of recent events.

Well the water conditions are pretty horrible(raw sewage, etc). If you are an athlete doing any non-pool water events, you could face some serious health risks from having to get in the bodies of water there.

Something bad happens in Rio everyday

Olympics are usually hampered with disease and STD's, RIO is going to cause some super virus outbreak
And some tourist is going to die in a robbery

Probably not. The only thing thats really in Rio is the opening and closing ceremonies at Maracanã. Most everything else is over in Barra da Tijuca, which is the rich part.
I'm sure people will have things stolen but that's expected when you go to Rio.

Yeah, doped Russians will get more golds than us. Which will frick up my bets on brovada.

All the tourists are gonna get mugged, beat, raped, and possibly kidnapped.

The endorsements those games create for winners outweighs the concern for Zika. Otherwise their sports are pretty much irrelevant. I do think attendance will suffer.

Absolutely lots of sick people and muggings. Possibility of terror attack is high id say

i wonder what the normal "profit" is for a well attended olympics
i would think in terms of the local business its good but the government probably about breaks even with all of their investments
I'd bet that the Brazilian gov't will end up losing a little bit of deneiro, ya think?

Me either, and I know it probably sounds paranoid.
