PapaD is out. I informed the Olympic Committee today. The news was met with regret, but understanding. When I discovered the impending pudding shortage in South America, I simply had no choice.

You beat me to the punch. Fvckers called me too! I told them their cell phone was breaking up.

There's a lot of pudding in the water down there. It's all been digested at least once, but it's still pudding. Can be a little difficult to tell the pudding from other "floaters" in the water, though.

It's interesting. Not a single withdrawal from a female golfer. And no other high profile athletes either. Only the male golfers. Hmmm, I smell a total meltdown. These Brazilian mosquitoes must be very picky!

Once Jordan makes his announcement I think men's golf and the Olympics is done. Very sad.

Lots of men's basketball players are out, I know from the US, not sure internationally. Also, you might have a higher risk of getting bit by a mosquito whilst playing golf than perhaps any of the other Olympic "sports"

Yea, I would think the swimmers would be safe except it appears the water may be contaminated.

Interesting that Rory's ex has just announced that she's going to Rio.

 

[TheTrueReview]

Sergio's going.

"I know there are some dangers but representing Spain, trying to make golf grow & becoming an Olympian are too important so I'll be at The Olympics."
