"Are the Rio Games on track to be the most unsafe Olympics we’ll ever see?

We learned about a fatal incident that took place on the eve of the opening ceremony, and it might be a preview of a crime spree possibly unfolding in the next few weeks: An armed mugger attempted to rob a Brazilian lawyer, only for the targeted victim to grab the assailant’s gun and kill him. Click here to read the full story.

En route to Rio, another man tried to steal the official torch. Government workers also took to the streets to violently protest not getting paid on schedule. See these clips in our video section by clicking here.

Threats in the host country also include the very concerning Zika virus, gun battles, political unrest and much more.  See what’s greeting travelers to Rio by clicking here.

On your end, you might be able to watch the Games from the comfort of your own home — but that doesn’t mean that they’re free of controversy here in the states.

Rules are rules… 

Could you actually face legal action for posting about the Olympics on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms? If you’re not an official sponsor, you might get yourself into some trouble. Click here to learn about the “ridiculous” Rule 40 from the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

On a related note, a small business in Minnesota (a carpet cleaning company) isn’t backing down from this policy without a fight. It’s the classic David vs. Goliath battle. Click here to read how they’ve begun to challenge it in court.

On top of all this, we’ll be keeping an eye out for any major developments out of Brazil.
