With the Olympics approaching and Brazil in turmoil, what should we do?  The potential for athletes to be infected and then spread it across the world when they return to their home countries is high.  It could be a global health risk!  Should Rio be punished for stealing the Olympics from Chicago?

I say cancel the Olympics.

Absolutely, without a doubt.

I'm not enjoying people suffering from disease, but I am enjoying seeing the Rio olympics turning into a train wreck. The IOC was in a fantasyland believing Rio was better than Chicago and now they have to deal with the consequences. They should move or cancel.

It's too late to do anything about it now, but people should be advised to stay away, tbh. I would say Chicago should have gotten it, but some Chicago residents circa 2009 weren't too enthusiastic about the prospect, either.
