The Olympics have gotten off to a rocky start, having been plagued by Zika fears, sewage filled water sources, and other giant mishaps. However, teams and nations are diligently traveling to the troubled country nonetheless.

It seems that some countries (or, rather, some countries' specific teams, aka USA Basketball) will be staying in the lap of luxury while other nations' teams have to struggle and sweat through faulty plumbing, broken light fixtures, and disgusting conditions in the Olympic Village.
Even former beloved Warrior Andrew Bogut, in town representing Australia, is feeling the effects of Brazil's horrible planning:

What??!
However, fear not Team USA fans! There will be no such nonsense for Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, and the rest of the Americans. Instead of roughing it in the Village, they'll be staying on a luxury cruise ship docked just off the coast.
