Wut? 5 years ago it was overrun by far-leftists instead of the loud (but I think still in the minority) culture-warrior "right" contingent of the present day?

So the political compass swung from one end to the other?

 

The number of posts in the Political Thread has decreased dramatically ever since Biden became President. The left-wingers achieved their goal and are sitting quiet and keep their fingers crossed this honeymoon period lasts forever :p

Just to add to the cauldron lighter conversation…

 

I think Osaka is a fine choice, but it would have been even better is she was paired with Hideki Matsuyama. Two modern Japanese sporting icons coming together in a show of equality, resilience, and excellence. That’s just my two cents on the topic though.

I think it would have been better to choose someone famous for playing sport rather than someone more famous for NOT playing sport.

First part meh,

 

Parade of Nations, I enjoyed, I´ll always enjoy, so sad we´ll miss one NOC this time ( :PRK )

 

 

 

 

Sadly, there will forever be a Moscow or Los Angeles style asterisk beside all the medals won here. :shame:

Neah, it's the same for everyone. No need for asteriks. Montreal 1976 was boycotted by 20+ African countries and nobody gives a damn about that anymore.

I'm only second guessing the Japanese public . Maybe I'm wrong -think there will be a lot of comment about this  in the next few days

 

I very much  doubt that those sackings of key people would  be Japanese initiated  -they were leaned on by Westerners especially the Americans .

 

I'm sure the Osaka choice will be applauded by the New York Times , NBC and all that crowd  ( the ones who love "Imagine  " ) What the people here think is neither here nor there 

 

Yes I do have a problem with Eurocentrism and European condescension towards others . 

 

( I didn't know the abbreviation of Japan was JPN  )

To which the appropriate solution is not that you too insult whole countries, regions, and peoples (sadly I cannot qoute here all those instances because a good number of your posts have been removed because of this very readon)

Woke olympics :wall:

I thought the whole annoying use of the word 'woke' (usually meant in a bad way) was reserved for angry Twitter people and such :lol:

 

Well, crap.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!
