Badr Hari does indeed sound like the kind of person to go and knock the officials and entourage around. Or just random people on the street who give him a bad look or something.

 

yeah, I know the guy (or at least, his public image) and some of his "masterpieces"...

 

however, it would be interesting to see him competing...just to make the tournament more interesting...

They were saying before that the virus doesn't spread through contact and they might not need to cancel.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Yeah definitely if someone catches the virus then IOC will be in trouble.

it's already officially certified that this virus spreads through contact (through saliva, to be precise)...

and we have already quite a few cases in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macao, other SEA Nations and the USA...it's only a matter of time that all this becomes pandemic...

in China there are at least 9 deceased and hundreds of sick people (officially, probably there are a lot more)...

they would be absolutely irresponsible if they don't cancel that tournament and reschedule it far away from those places (once in a lifetime, in this case Qatar or UAE would be a good choice)...

do you mean that the virus was spread around by those golfers who need an excuse to pull out of the Olympic tournament?
