Hey, I'm from Brazil! But I'm from São Paulo, not Rio de Janeiro. You'll find a lot of haters here, but I'm not one of them. In my opinion, there could be no better time for the Olympics to be hosted here.

Why is it that a land built on sports doesn't want a big sports event to be held in the country?

Because of the economical crisis we're facing. They think mainly two things: the money spent with the Olympics could be spent on more important things (like health and education); and that the Olympics will actually bring shame to our country because Brazil is not prepared to receive it (because of bad infrastructure and a bad security system).

I'd imagine the olympics also being a way to get tourist income. Granted, I don't study economics, and I can't say for sure how well other countries have faired after hosting the games.

The olympics have started! And what better way to celebrate coming together than taking a train through the history of poster art from the Olympics. I've gathered up posters from all olympic events and offered my comments on them for a total of 52 stops and 88 images.
Do you want to make the train even more awesome? Leave factoids, personal opinions, challenge my critiques and above all, correct me if I've made any errors!
Take a ride on the olympic train!
Thanks for all the factoids, feedback and response. I'm slowly going through all your comments. First time I've "broken the meter":
