Indisputable scientific fact: it is winter in Brazil. You sound ridiculous when you call it the Summer Olympics. Please stop.

But the fact of the matter is that it's winter in Brazil. It's a fact, and it's based on science. It's winter in Brazil. Full stop.

What y'all are doing in my mentions with "Well actually HERE'S why it's the Summer Olympics" is really a kind of cultural hegemony.
-
You're bending over backward to try to justify why, despite science and reality, it's ok to say it's summer in Rio -- even tho it's winter.
-
We can just call it the plain old Olympic Games. It's ok to do that. Not ok: tell me why we should call it summer. When it's winter.

Least fav response: YOU SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT THIS OTHER THING IN BRAZIL. Bruh. I'm paying off the yellow fever care for my nephew.

SHOCKING: when it comes to Brazil, I can worry about clean water for my family and how ridiculous "summer" olympics sounds at the same time.

Is the weather as regionally diverse in Brazil as it is in the US?
-
So... I think you're doing the bending over backwards thing here. These are global games. Why is US weather the standard?

I'm not trying to justify the naming -- I was just genuinely curious as someone who's never been to Brazil. 1/

Ok, cool. In the south especially, it gets cold like LA gets cold; June and July are probably the coldest.
