It's almost like they want to be offended.

They live, if you can call it that, for it.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Is it just me, or does the article not say what the chant was?

Not just you.  I was wondering about that myself.

That makes me feel a little better, but, here is how the exclusion of that information strikes me:

"Someone chanted something bad at the Olympics. People were offended. You do not need to know what it was. Take our word for how bad it was. Trust us, we are the orlando sentinel ".

This leaves multiple bad tastes in my mouth.

MSM folk don't like reporting when POC behave badly. In this case the chants probably were heard in TV coverage - as well as by US spectators - and there are enough Portuguese-speaking people in the US that keeping a lid on these Brazilians' crude behavior was not possible. So they reported it, without details that would show just how crude they were being.

That's my cynical speculation. Maybe the Sentinel just didn't have anyone able to translate Portuguese.

It's life, yes, but not as we know it.

They don't all smell the same, they don't all feel the same, and they don't all taste the same. But they're all pretty when the lights go out.
