To be honest, Lubbock may be a more attractive destination than Rio at the moment.
Before you say, "WHAT!? Lubbock could never hold the Olympics! This guy is a moron!", I'm quite aware that Lubbock, TX will in fact never ever host the Olympics. But for the sake of argument, I'm going to tell you why Lubbock would be a better host than Rio.
1) Zika
This is a pretty straight forward reason, Brazil has Zika and Lubbock does not. Zika seems to be the main concern for many athletes and visitors on the eve of the Summer Games and for good reason.
