Feel free to chat about the upcoming games, athletes and sports here. So what events does everyone follow?
Yeah, imo, they can heckle all they want, but from all info available about Zika, and the risks for women in particular, the crowd is just being childish. No one wants to risk their child having birth defects and she and everyone else is already taking a huge risk being there, giving the crippling outcomes to children. And there are plenty of people that are taking advantage of the real risks by scalping mosquito preventatives.During the United States’ 2-0 win over New Zealand in Belo Horizonte, fans inside the Estadio Mineirao booed Solo’s every touch - and heckled the star goalie with chants of ‘Zi-ka’ on her goal kicks.
Solo went public with her concerns about the Zika virus early in 2016.

YupVarious athletes boycotted the games because of Zika concerns and I don't blame them. This is your life you are risking for a piece of metal.
Omg, floored about US WNT soccer loss, but what a match! I am wearing diapers!
Common psychological play, actually. Tennis Players do it as do other athletes. All part of getting under opponent's skin and messing with their concentration and flow. Congrats to your country's team and good luck in the next phase @HoochYeah, that was a suprise that Sweden won...but what the hell Solo? Pretty pathetic "mind game" changing the gloves before the final penalty.
