He is the longest serving IOC member, and someone who is seen as the most vocal critique or how the IOC conducts its business. Plus, how can you not love a Dick Pound? 

 

Dick Pound was trending on Twitter earlier.  Not because, you know, the Olympics are in danger, but because his name is Dick Pound...  Dick Pound :lol:

I think that even if the games will go on you will see A LOT of athletes decline to go (starting with NBA Players, Golfers and Tennis players)

 

We saw that a lot from Rio with Zika.  I don't think it would necessarily happen here.  If the Olympics are deemed safe to go on and the virus is under control, I don't think it will necessarily scare off that many people, particularly tennis players who will have been in Paris and London over the summer.

Cancellation will harm the olympics and might cause an irreversible damage, especially with groups like nolympicsla or counterparts in paris looking for a way out

 

 

Eh, I doubt this would add fuel to the fire for those guys.  Considering what the Olympics have survived through (only World Wars have stopped them), it would be a pretty devastating hit for a virus to cancel an Olympics.  The NOlympicsLA folks are fighting a battle that likely only mother nature (or some foolishly hungry Chinese looking for an exotic snack) could beat them at.

Man, this turned into the US National Thread real quick :p. We may be a divided nation, but today we learned that we share a love of Dick Pound.

Don't you start attacking our crown prince! :evil: :DEN

sure...a man obsessed with Russia and extremely biased for the English speaking Countries' supremacy...:facepalm::wall:

 

nontheless, a man who's still making his liver bitter because of the Samaranch's tenure...

 

a man who thinks that the person who saved the Games from disappearing (yes, with many obscure points, but the situation was even worse than many people think and required some kind of "dirty" moves) should have never been a IOC President and did too many things in favour of the "Latin" and Asian Nations...

 

a man that wanted to hide Ben Johnson's scandal at all costs (the true reason of the open war between him and Samaranch) before becoming the icon of anti-doping and WADA president...

 

and I could go on for quite a while...:whistle:

most of those guys would find an excuse in any case...

 

they are more than "the usual suspects" when it comes to miss the Olympics in favour of more relaxing and lucrative activities...

Funnily enough, Tokyo already had its Games cancelled back in 1940. :p

 

yeah, but that time there was no controversy at all...

 

the situation was a bit different than nowadays...

That reminds me a comedy scene of a Polish group as two guys were "teaching" English to the audience. Then the third guy came on the scene and they asked him:

- What's your name?

- Wacek (which is a short form from a name "Wacław", but also used as the word for that organ)

- And what is "Wacek" in English?

- ... Richard.

- No, you're wrong.

- (ashamed) Dick.

      On the LA28 Facebook, they announced that they won't be releasing all sports/sessions in Drop 1 due to high demand in the local presale.  I'm curious what that might be.

      Update after Matchdays 8 and 9.   Group A:  is almost a lock with 21p, and 7 games 7 wins. Almost impossible for them to not qualify. The battle is in the second place between  (16p) and  (13p).  with 8p is almost out.  and  eliminated.   Group B:  won both of the 2 games so is almost secured with 19p.  is second with 14p, with  (1 more game played) and  with 11p.  is eliminated and  practically too (6p)   Group C:  went 2 out of 2 so they are still first with 16p and one game less than the rest. The battle for second place will be between  14p,  11p and  9p.  eliminated and  (with one game less and 4p) probably too.   Group D: Only 3 for 2 places.  first with 19p has the advantage, but coming close is  with 16p. They played each other in the Matchday 11 of 12. Coming in third behind is  with 11p. ,  and  eliminated.   Group E: Both  and  won both matches so its still the same, Poland first with 24p and Italy second with 21p, which is the best runner-up and also qualifying directly, so is very likely that both teams end up qualifying no matter who finish first and second. , ,  and  eliminated.   Group F: A tie between  18p and  18p. Germany has the goal advantage (+21 to +20), and has to play the three weaker teams, so its more likely to qualify. Coming behind are  with 10p and  with 9p, which are practically eliminated with  and   Group G:  takes the advantage with 12p and one game less.  and  both have 7p, and coming behind are  5p (but one game less) and  with 5p.   Group H:  with the win against  moved to first place with 13p (and one game less), and Turkey stays in second with 11p.  is coming in third with 8p, while  is eliminated and  have 3p and one game less.   Group I: A triple tie between ,  and  with 10p.
