What residents are saying about today’s issues
If you were a prized athlete or a fan, would you go to Brazil for the Olympics?
WILLIAM SPENCER, Houma
No way in hell would I miss that. You train your whole life. A mosquito wouldn’t scare me. If you’re going to get hurt or sick, it can happen anywhere.
BIANKA ROSS, Thibodaux
I would think about it long and hard. There’s more to life than diving into a swimming pool or running on a rubber track. These people have families and children.
TOMMY GUIDRY, Gray
I would go and I wouldn’t think twice. There’s too much at stake to be on the sidelines.
ANNE VERRET, Bourg
It would take a lot to keep me away if I were competing or if it was a family member. We’d be cautious, but we’d be there.
ASHLEY SANTITY, Thibodaux
I’m in. There are concerns, but there are concerns anywhere in the world you travel these days. It’ll work itself out.
MARY WILLIAMS, Mathews
For me, the best gold medal is good health. I would sit these out. The water is filthy and the Zika Virus is a real concern.
