Unfortunately delaying or relocating the Brasil Olympics is not happening. It takes years and thousands of people to plan such an event. This poses another question:
What would you do if you were an Olympic athlete who qualifies? I know most (traditional Olympic sport) athletes would not pass up an opportunity to compete in the Olympics. They've trained their entire career to represent their country in the pinnacle event of their sport. For many this is their once-in-a-lifetime. I personally know athletes from the 1980 Olympic team who are still upset they could not compete in the Moscow Games and can nver get that dream back.
However, what would you tell your family who wants to travel and see you compete in the Olympics? Would you encourage them to stay home and not travel to Brasil for the risk of their health?
To give my 2 cents, I would go as an athlete but encourage my family not to attend. However, as a parent or an athlete, I would also not pass up attending the Olympics to support my kid.
"The annual tradition of the joint-club TV party for the Michigan/Michigan State football game continues this year, as we gather with the local MSU alumni club to watch the game together on Saturday, October 17th, at Gallo's Tap Room, when the Wolverines host the Spartans for the first time in 3 years for one of the oldest intrastate rivalries. The Wolverines lead the series 68-34-5.
Each year at this get-together, the winning team's club takes home the State of Michigan Divide trophy to cherish until next year's game. Come cheer on the Maize and Blue to victoryand regaining the coveted trophy this year!
Kick-off is set for 3:30 pm. Take advantage of this great opportunity for true "whole State of Michigan" fellowship, football and fun!
Gallo's Tap Room is located at 5019 Olentangy River Rd, Columbus, OH 43214, 614-457-2394; www.gallostaproom.com(next to Microcenter, corner of Bethel, near 315)."
Micheal Thomas - OSU So WR - is Keyshawn's nephew and his son is a 2017 WR. I believe Keyshawn was also on OSU sideline during the champ game. Between Key and Cris Carter, OSU has enough loud mouth talking heads to go around.
As a RHS and UM alum, I've been anticipating each update the past week. Thanks for the great summary. Karan seems like a great kid and has a great future ahead of him. He already has a number of fans in his corner and specific rooting interest by me.
