its a facebook vid, im not sure why it wouldn't be available..
but cappy has viewed it and his in your state..so
 
I saw it..am not really surprised about it. Combine an area of wide disparity/inequality of resources, with an influx of tourists and something like the Olympics.....I can see it happening. Not saying I agree. Just not surprised...kinda along some of the same lines as what Hoichi wrote
 
Question... realized something today... yes I may be slow, and have not checked the numbers of the past events...

Americans are always proud of being first in the olympics... but we have 554 athletes... way more than most nations, but this year we have the most athletes total ... does it not seem to reason that by default the US would have more medals?

Also, sports is very huge in American culture so that is another factor.
 
I'm watching some Rio Olympics sport. But it is hard to find specific sport to watch when there's 3 different channels on "free to Air" on TV.

True... but it you look at the top group of nations they also seem to be ones that have the ability to dedicate so much time to a variety of sports... sorry just an odd question than pinged of my mind...
 
Was not sure where to put this ... but..

RIO DE JANEIRO — Olympian Ryan Lochte and three other members of the U.S. swimming team were robbed at gunpoint “by individuals posing as armed police officers” in Brazil. The U.S. Olympic Committee confirmed swirling reports Sunday.

Along with Lochte, Gunnar Bentz, Jimmy Feigen and Rockville native Jack Conger were in a taxi that was held up for the “athletes’ money and other personal belongings,” USOC spokesperson Patrick Sandusky said. All four athletes are safe.
