Finally I get to ask someone who knows something about this.

During the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, when your country was introduced during the Parade of Nations, one of the announcers on the American broadcast said that your boss at the time said something to the effect of "We are not hosting the Olympics so a bunch of Gringos can win our Gold Medals."

My question is, was this really said, and if it was, what the heck were you on when you suggested that he say this?

By the way, Illinois and Chicago are still upset that Rio got picked to host the Olympics.

Caro Michigan,

Sim, I regret to inform you that this might have really happened. I'm not sure if it is a rumor or not, but I have this feeling that it may be true. I beg your forgiveness! Remember, I am but a country. He is still my boss, and he chose to say that. Not in any means I would have said something as brutal as he. True, I often get annoyed at América and Inglaterra, but I wouldn't go to that length.

Heh...about the placement, América only got fourth from the Comitê Olímpico. You could just as well blame Espanha or Japão. But, once again, it's not like I chose the placement of the Jogos Olímpicos.

But, let's be amigos anyway, Michigan. Ya wanna play futebol? And tell Illinois and Chicago I said hi!

Verdadeiramente,

Brasil
