Are the Olympics Eurocentric or does the rest of the world not like Obama?

Yes, The IOC President comes across like Euro-Socialist stuck in the 1950s who is anti-American and doesn't have a sense of humor. Good riddance Olympics.

If the Olympic's selection committee is Eurocentric, either they are poor at geography or Brazil just joined the European Union.

One pundit wrote that the IOC representatives resented the fact that Obama showed up for a five-hour visit and then left for home before the selection committee had voted. They may have been offended by that.

Well, of course the Olympics are Eurocentric. The first Olympics was held in ancient Greece.

the olympics are cashcentric. brazil is an up and coming economy. why do you think beijing held them last year after laying a beat down on monks? money trumps human rights. money trumps everything. the olympics are about money. there will be a secretive removal of undesirables from the streets of rio before the games.

why is everything obams fault? You want to know why its being held in rio de jenaro because south america has never hosted the olympics before and that probably was a big part of the decision.

If it were Eurocentric it would have gone to Madrid. Or is that your point? :) I am guessing that is your point :) Good one.

Edit: I knew it would only be a matter of time before Bush was blamed for Chicago not getting the games! Tenchiro just did so! Nothing is EVER Obama's fault!

Maybe its just because the US has held the olympics more times than any other country and you should shut up and let South America host it for the FIRST time, idiot

The Olympic is a total waist of time, money and effort.

I heard its going to be at the Rio Grand.
