Hope Solo says Zika threat could keep her from Rio Olympics

Hope Solo is concerned enough about the Zika virus that she might skip the Rio Olympics.

The two-time Olympic gold medal-winning goalkeeper told SI.com on Monday that “If I had to make the choice today, I wouldn’t go," citing worries about how being exposed to Zika might affect future pregnancies.

no. And since when is Hope Solo a voice to listen to as if she knows shit? Wasn't the one that had some domestic violence going on + some porn pictures (Imagine the STD's) :|? Yeah, she seems like a person who cares about the well being of people close to her...not

This thread has a misleading title. There is no specific news about WTA players. It's not telling us anything we did not know or suspect already. :smash:

Come on... million of people die from cancer and multiple diseases and now everyone is going crazy over the zika virus?

I know it's spreading all over south america and there are deaths asociated to it, but it's not as deadly as people make it seem. Sadly, most of the deaths are poor people, like in every disease.
I don't think players are getting the zika virus. If they catch it, they'll be able to cure themselves in no time.

I just hate world's hipocrecy.

The most dangerous aspect of this pesty virus, apart from the babies born with microcephalia, is that it is related/can trigger the Guillain-Barre Syndrome, that can cause temporary paralisis of limbs and muscles.

Yeah, people should be concerned, here I can't get out of the house without repelent :sad:

@SAISAI-GOAT
I trust these words spoken by our own medical professional residing in Rio :worship: :worship: :worship:

mosquitos stay away from pupil :fiery:

anyway this is probably why Genie pulled out Rio MM :ignore:
