Monzanator 3,876 Posted September 29, 2019 #1821 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Just now, OlympicsFan said: I am not sure about german people travelling to Hungary. Hungary has a very bad reputation in Germany thanks to their racism and antisemitism. Many german fans will be afraid to go there + not many german people are crazy enough to travel halfway through europe to watch german athletes getting beaten by drug cheats from countries they never heard of before. Bullshit. Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix is notoriously one of the best attended races of the year for a long time. I assume the ticket prices will also be cheaper than in Western Europe. Real sport fans don't give a fuck about politics & Orban. Canada4thewin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say 40-55% of Americans think Africa is country. Also 60-70% think other states count as foreign countries... “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

OlympicsFan 791 Posted September 29, 2019 #1827 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The girls in the 20 km race walking must have a really bad feeling wandering around alone in the dark at such a late hour. Hopefully none of them will be attacked by some creep. dcro 1 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

You probably missed the constant bitching about lack of overtaking & Mercedes dominance in the hybrid era though? Plus it's not interesting enough to sustain a German GP when a German manufacturer collects titles like crazy. So I guess Germany doesn't love fast Mercedes cars enough.

They come across so fake to me, with the constant smiles, the hairs, the pandering to the fans, which Bolt started. Our commentators couldn't stop talking about SAFP and Elaine's haires the whole night... They were nowhere until Bolt came and then everyone else after him in 2008 brought so much media/public hype, that i never liked. Even to this day, Jamaica rarely gets any negative press, even though their sprinters are just as shady as the americans. But they get a pass most of the time.
