OT, Should we be concerned about safety in Sochi?

[mrwallace2ku]

Chinese made...Italian designed...WTF is going on around here? These unis blow corn, is there a "red bullseye" option on the back of those hidious unis?

Let Columbia, Filson or Pendleton design shit for our team next time for CS!

To answer the original question, yes, those attending the Sochi games should be concerned for the safety...

...of their eyesight.

Probably in the giant piles they've been making and stock piling in the mountains since it doesn't snow there very often...

FYI - temps today, high of 57, low of 45

According to the forecast for the next week, the lowest low will be 34 degrees. The average high is right around 50 degrees. I'm assuming it will be colder in the nearby mountains though... hopefully.

ON the plus side, Putin has made Sochi very gay-friendly...

"We do not have a ban on non-traditional sexual relationships," he said, according to AFP. "We have a ban on the propaganda of homosexuality and pa*****ilia."

The Russian president went on saying that the so-called "homosexual propaganda" law defends children from homosexuality and pa*****ilia.

"We don't ban anything and we won't arrest anyone," he said. "Therefore you can feel calm, relaxed. But leave children alone please."

I've read the mountains have enough snow, though conditions probably won't be great.

However, the Olympic Welcome Center is a joke...

Safety is an issue. I heard rumors of a bike being stolen there today.

If I was a lawyer in Russia, I'd mount a classic "the bike stole him" defense.

 

[Comeds]

I wonder if every bike there has a handle bar camera..

 

[Cobiemonster]

Honestly, if I was a player, I wouldn't go - and the league needs to really be serious about this and take every precaution possible - can't trust what's going on there

We have to hope so...

A Smirnoff petition?

Huh.

Usually you have to wait for a few years AFTER the Olympics for the photos of the place abandoned and in despair.

Sochi: We ain't waitin' for nothin

look out for the gay terrorists

Mayor of Sochi, Anatoly Pakhomov, says there are no gays in the city. Corrects himself, says he's not sure. Adds 'I don't bloody know them'.
