It was so sad that Tokyo didn’t win. I was hoping that I will watch Olympics for the first time without goin’ anywhere far. Since the lost ,I don’t want to hear anything about Olympics…yet…

I live in Hershey, Pennsylvania a white American who thinks Tokyo should have got these olympics. But in today’s society.. its who can grasp most of the political votes. it has nothing to do with where it will be but big money….. the OIC sucks, just look at some of the sports the keep and those they drop… America is hated all over the world just a Russia once was for always winning.. Hey, the best athletes should be in the Olympics and not politically but as a good athlete… I have seen how the OIC works and it sucks.. why cant we have the Olympics in Russia? Politics friends, politics.. there its off my chest… God bless all and God bless America and crap on the OIC…..

There’s something about the Japanese culture that is just amazing. Japan is a country that lost everything in the past and now has everything. They just accept things the way they are. This article clearly shows this in such a fantastic way and the story about the little screen TV is so funny because I could relate to you and feel the same way. As for me, I am Brazilian and I would probably be mourning for weeks had Rio lost. Perhaps, we all should learn a little from the Japanese. Perhaps they will learn a little from the Cariocas as well. Perhaps.
