They survived Beijing.

The first sport is Narco Sicario 50 meter rifle.

Two thirds of your country live in poverty and you want to squander billions on olympic facilities.

Better than top 10 worst in the world? Sure, it's improved, but it's still seriously bad air quality.

Literally today the air quality is unhealthful and particulates are at 7.5x the air quality guideline value

If we only gave Olympics to countries without issues, we'd have no Olympics

Cartel bosses looking in with intrigue

Aus vs South Africa. 434?

😆

259?!! Were they playing in the back garden??

This comment is like 30 years out of date

Everyone commenting that the cartels will make large amounts of kidnappings or murders are idiots. The cartels have better things to do then kidnap a bunch of international athletes and tourists. And the government has literally nothing better to do them to protect those athletes and tourists.

Attacking tourism is bad for cartels business. They want tourists to come to Mexico as they make money from tourists.

The real people at risk from the cartels here are those involved in planning the olympics. Bribes, intimidation, and murder of officials will likely be used to ensure cartel connected businesses are awarded contracts.

Hosting a sporting event should be the last thing the Mexican government should be putting in resources to right now.

Something similar happened more than a decade ago

Cancún is in Quintana Roo state, not Yucatán, Yucatán has some of the lowest crime and murder rates in all of North américa, including the Canada and the us

México already hosted the olympics once and already has many cities with modern sports infraestructure, most likely México Will just renovaré some.of the already existing sport venues

-so you can go to the cancun peninsula and vacation right now, exercising normal precautions. When I went to Cancun last time, nearly 10 years ago- the police were armed with M4’s so pretty sure normal precautions is still pretty bad. Like don’t leave the resort type shit.

Started watching the highlights on a study break, skipped to the end of the Windies batting innings, heard the commentator mention how its the highest T20 score they've ever put up, and decided to not watch any further.

Guess I should've finished those highlights

Once the first reply goes negative it's seen as an argument and since you're the honorary bad guy of the day (sorry), some people will just reflexively downvote all your replies. This one might even go negative if the post still gets traffic!
