The IOC is considering a proposal to make Bach the Eternal President of the IOC.

 

(or rather they are considering letting him run for a third term, but… ya)

But I have long wanted to see a third edition of the Olympics focussed on esports and mind sports (like chess), so in that sense I’m very supportive of this. But Bach has so drop his silly opposition to esports that “glorify violence”.

Indeed. Funny how the likes of boxing, wrestling, and indeed, fencing do not "glorify violence". :)

Volleyball has a statistic called “kill”. Volleyball is literally a sport where the objective is to have the most kills while limiting errors. Is volleyball glorifying violence?

Exactly. A sport where one method of winning is to hit your opponent in such a jarring fashion that it causes a traumatic brain injury or cardiac event :wacko:

Interestingly, it seems that idea was introduced by regional bodies. ANOCA, CentroCaribeSports, and ODESUR leaders were the first to speak in support. 

 

Every reaction I’ve seen to this idea today has made fun of the IOC’s “good governance” or “sustainability” push.

All International bodies in sport & politics are corrupt in the same way & for the same reason. A small number of nations put money in. A large number of nations take money out.  The bureaucrats decide who gets how much.  So the small nations approach the bureaucrats in the same way as the Mayor of Izhevsk approached a personal meeting with Stalin.

Always while watching IOC sessions during the Bach era came to my mind one of the most famous Chernomyrdin axioms which says "We wanted the best, but it turned out like always." ...

 

I just couldn´t with Their obsession with aiming mainly on "youth/urban/tictoc era/call it how you want" viewers at the expense of the more traditional Olympics fans, and now we are heading towards a lifelong presidenting of this fencing champion fool

I was hoping to see they crown Tommy B as the lifelong king of IOC. 

 

he shouldn't be just IOC's president, he should be the King. I mean he acts like a true dictator, why not giving him a throne

    • Russian athletes pretty much involved in propaganda with Z symbols and Georgian ribbons, they support war financially, yet either you are blind or you are washed up
    • And I am for your ban here, you are as dumb as newborn baby, except you are much older and you can't even write properly, so go to school at first, learn something and then came back
    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.
