America is also guilty of taking advantage of Brazils political system. ie corruption and the land development. -- nm - budice Aug 17, 14:43 2
- There are lots of grievances - most recently, NSA spying on the Brazilian president, but more generally it's US involvement in Latin America. - Roger More Aug 17, 15:03 1

The gymnast wasn't American. They're booing people that are close in events with Brazilian athletes. - Krusty Aug 17, 14:40 1

I'd say the booing comes into play when someone from Brazil is either in the running for a medal, or is the other team. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 17, 14:35 2
