Do you live in a mental state of 1930? There may be 50-100k of 'native' peoples living in the rainforests of Brazil today. Possibly a few k more, but more than likely less. And a good percentage of those peoples do not live the stereotypical native lifestyle. Yes they live in the jungle, hunt for their food, do the things their ancestors did but they have knowledge of the outside world. I suppose you are right that some of them are cannibalistic but that wouldn't make a difference. THOSE tribes keep to themselves for just that reason. Part of the percentage I mentioned that probably wouldn't bother to emerge just to watch a football game. Also I didn't say they'd all head for Rio. That is just you showing your ignorance of the geography and technology level of Brazil. Most of these people wouldn't have to travel more than a day out of the jungle to find a TV.
I'm finished with this argument now. Like I said before, it isn't the sport that interests me, just the misconceptions some americans have about the rest of the world.
