I read the stupid article already. So what? Do you think that there could be a remote chance that an athlete could be compromised by terrorists? I think this is a possibility, so we need to ensure that they are vetted properly. But who cares? We are not hosting the Olympics and that is fine with me. I could care less if we ever hosted them again. It costs us money in the long run, and then we have these grand stadiums that sit around and do nothing when it is done.
Are you even from the US? If not, why do you even care? Quit bitching for Christ sake. Our fucking country was attacked and so we have enacted some safety measures. So fucking what? What do you want us to do? Lower our standards so we can be attacked again? Fuck off and leave us alone.
