Why would he bother ?

Well, having an Olympic medal is something that appeals to many people. Tiger doesn't have one, Jack and Arnie don't have one and given how stupid it is having golf in the Olympics it might not be possible to win one in the future.

If I was Rory though, I'd piss on the Olympics and take a week off, stay home and bang a supermodel.

Not all. Atlanta, Barcelona and Seoul were not all that long ago and it's possible that Beijing would be a net win if we ever got to see the real books. The Olympics can be done well. The problem is that mostly Olympics are a tool used by corrupt and/or incompetent politicians who want to line their own pockets on kickbacks or distract the populace from bigger financial problems by claiming that the influx of Olympic money will solve everything.

Sochi was a clusterfuck, Brazil is going to be a clusterfuck, but there's a pretty good chance that South Korea and Japan will be smart enough to have learned from what the successful sites did. And they most definitely will understand the simple concept of asking "Gee, what would Brazil have done in this situation?" and then doing the opposite.

AKA not hosting the Olympics?

I mentioned this in the P&N thread but apparently the Detroit Channel 4 reporters sent to get some pregame coverage are considering coming back early because of the shooting they've been exposed to. Not sure its a good sign when Detroit reporters are saying 'Eff this, this place is too dangerous'

How bad is it?

I know they've sent the army in to clear the slums out or something, and the army is there just to keep order...

Not sure overall but one of the reporters tweeted they were having a hard time getting shots of the venues because they had to keep moving because of proximity to gunshots so that doesn't sound good

Hey, reporters are able to cover sports in Detroit, Oakland and St Louis, they can damn well do it in Brazil too.
