IOC spineless as always.

This is why I can see major problems for the Olympics in the coming years. Trump has currently been pro - Olympics but if he becomes president again I can certainly see him threatening to ban countires from coming to LA 2028 for political reasons. Ditto all this makes it harder to get a 2030 bid. I can honestly see all three major bids withdrawing soon.

Ah yes, more Trump & Chinese politics stuff. How I missed that crap in the last two weeks

The games is boring. Obviously we love to politicalize everything and leverage everything to politics. The earth would not spin anymore without geopolitical battle at any occasion so how can we lose two precious weeks to focus on the sports even as Olympics lovers or journalists.

Trump would not miss the opportunity to hold a “big, beautiful party”.

 

Also remember when you were convinced prime minister O’Toole would lead  to boycott the games? How did that work out?

Some countries have been very political with their diplomatic boycott, China is probably just returning the favor by making political remarks in the press conference.

The Western world is in shambles, as all criticism of China have been debunked by "thrilling" Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics: https://www.chinadailyasia.com/article/261860

 

(I really love Chinese propaganda because it's always so incredibly over the top, like it's target audiences are elementary school kids)
