Wouldn’t be surprised to see LA2028 reveal their logo(s) soon be the way. They have removed all the bid logos from their social media pages, and have posted a weird promotional video seeming to hint at a announcement coming sometime soon. Plus, their presentation the IOC at the General Session (which I read last week), talked about some branding milestones coming up too.

Given how everything is getting boycotted in the last few hours I don't expect the logo to be unveiled anytime soon.

 

Hell, I expect Los Angeles to cancel the Games alltogether to make a statement. That would be oh-so fitting in this politically-skewed era. Cancel Culture Rulezzzz

According to Coates, it is unlikely Iran will be banned from the Olympic Games: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1098447/navid-afkari-execution-olympic-ban-iran

A real shame. Catherine was a great media contact. I was a little sad reading her letter this morning.

Under the Olympic Charter, the IOC is supposed to ban the United States from participation in the Olympic Games for government interference. 

Bach also warned Italy and the Republic of Korea about government interference this week, so we could see some major challenges to the IOC’s power.

 

India and Kuwait have both served bans this century for government interference.

Of course they would do no such things.

I hope Italy is going to get a ban for the Tokyo Games next week (October 7th is the D-day)...

 

if that's the only way to get rid of this stupid minister of sports we have, who's making damages every time he opens his mouth, I'm ready to pay the prize...

 

if they let him stay in charge, he's going to destroy our sport once and forever...

“Adapt to a changing landscape”

 

what a politically correct euphemism for “ass kissing 1976 Gold Medalist, fencing, Thomas Bach”

Man, the IOC sure is “very worried” about a lot of things nowadays. They’re “very worried” about the Uighur situation in China. They’re “very worried” about Lukashenko banning athletes from competing who speak out against him. They’re “very worried” about the governance situation at the AIBA and IWF. They’re “very worried” about government interference in NOC affairs in Italy, Korea, and United States. They’re “very worried” about the strength of anti-doping programs. 
 

They’ve made that an empty phrase for me honestly. Imagine if they acted on those concerns...

My Muslim friend is much more worried and making the topic noise since at least two-three years.

 

Still, IOC seems not to be worried at all about the execution of Navid Afkari. But I can't be sure as they didn't let me ask a question about it. Fuck those Bach conferences, I' m not watching this shit anymore.

Is your Muslim friend worried about Yemen too?
