I don't either side of the issue would be totally satisfied, but maybe it would be a workable compromise in the end? That's what I expect the IOC to offer (if they are going to offer something). No way they are going to let them compete under their own flag. You're just asking for every separatist region or oversea territory to ask to compete.

You are giving too much value to the IOC following any principles. They could very well bend over backwards when it comes to US / Canada provinces etc. and ban on the spot Middle East / Africa ones. You know some are more equal amongst others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking as an American, I'm not concerned what the IOC's opinion is on that one. I just pray this nation would be strong enough to survive until 2028 at that point. G-d help us all if Trump wins the election. I mean like actually wins the election, not that he and his supporters whine like toddlers that they think he did.

Hear me out. The man is, in a very real, practical, mentally unbalanced sense shameless. He literally cannot feel shame like other people, He resents mockery, sure, but he's never of the belief its deserved. And without shame, he can't stop running to win. He's lost the popular vote twice - that would normally be enough alone to send a politician back to the farm - and yet, with completely graceless shamelessness, here he is again. And If alive, he will be again in 2028. Only death and term limits can stop him - and he'd certainly challenge term limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
