Funny thing is, Jap girl will almost certainly be beaten by a cheating 15-year old Russian, who really should be banned by now, but isn’t, because the IOC is weak as piss, and doesn’t want to “anger” Putin…
Even more amusingly, if said Russian (Salieva) medals, there is no medal ceremony, because of the bullshit legalese the IOC invented to justify the whole thing…
Absolute clown world.
This whole Olympics has been the biggest joke since Rio, or maybe even Sochi… 🤦🏻♂️
Must admit, Canada and the US failing in both the curling and the men’s hockey has brought me some degree of shadenfreude though, lol…
Olympics has been a scam for a long time. The whole "city pays billions for facilities that go underutilized afterwards" thing is fucking stupid. They need to create a permanent site somewhere in Greece and be done with it.
Fair call. Doesn’t work for the Winter games (not really, anyway), though…
That would need to be basically Norway, Canada or somewhere in the Alps (which it is, most years, anyway), for it to work, lol…
But while cities continue to (take) pride (in) this as they do, and while it continues to be the media spectacle/propaganda coup that it is, I seriously don’t see that happening any time soon… 🤷🏻♂️
And unfortunately it doesn’t really seem to matter what “Joe Public” thinks - TPTB will continue to bid for, and host, it, regardless of what their constituents want, or say…
