I am boycotting the Olympics because the officials, still chose to unnecessarily put athletes/fans in a multitude of extreme dangers; by having it in Rio. With the worst offence, being Zika! They should always have a back up location. Like a previous place, that once held it. I sympathize most with the athletes that made the best choice, to prioritize their health over sport; despite all of their years training for it & therefore I believe that the responsible choice, is for the fans; to stand in solidarity with them instead of those chasing medals because the best way, to cure a disease; is to never knowingly/intentionally risk getting it & spreading it.0

Watch Olympic tennis every day. Watching Nadal and Lopez play as I type actually. Also watch Vball all the time, but I tune in for swimming, gymnastic, fencing, label tennis, or whatever. I love sports!1

No way London could be a "back-up" for this years Olympics. As is typical with most Olympics, the venues and athletes village(s) are re-purposed or torn down (Beijing). Londoners are currently living in new "flats" that used to be the Olympic Village.0 -

Obviously a back up place, would've had to be planned; years in advance.0 -
