Anderson Silva
Anderson Silva

Guilherme Cezario Felix, a member of Brazil’s Taekwondo team went on Facebook and unabashedly let his feelings be known about Anderson Silva’s 2016 hopes of competing on the team in 2016 when the Olympics will be held in Rio. Needless to say his belief Anderson will land one of the available four spots was not the same as Silva’s.

Let’s stop kidding. Myself and most of the tae kwon do athletes are fed up with this thing about Anderson Silva trying to apply for the Olympic Games. He can try just like anyone who is officiated by the regulations can. Many people are taking this very seriously, but I don’t think this is more than a joke, some kind of personal marketing. Everybody is putting it carefully, but I’m tired. I have nothing against him, I don’t even know him personally, but this is a laughing matter. If he really wants to apply for the spot, then let him come. It’s his risk and I think he’ll have to really prepare if he doesn’t want to embarrass himself. I’m looking forward to it. There won’t be any more jokes or games about it.  There, I said it.

The truth is that no one really sees this as an option, but no one wants to tell Anderson that face to face. Would you?
