I just heard on the my local news that Rio needed to borrow money to make the closing ceremonies happen!
And the opening ceremonies were a total snoozefest compared to previous olympics.
Not only that, but also the scandals, the violence & Zika threats, you name it... A shame. Originally posted by LikeASong:[..]
Wow, that's shocking
And the worst is yet to come: the post-Olympics depression, all the Olympics-related employment being destroyed, etc. Oh well, I just feel sorry for Brazil because they're an incredible country full of incredible people, but... this just wasn't their moment.
