Cowardly, yes. Corrupt? Not necessarily because of this.
Bach hasn't done the best job of expressing to the world the intentions of the IOC. I think everyone involved knows that postponement is inevitable, but it takes time to get everyone on board to make sure that's followed through properly for all interested parties. With all due respect to Canada, they're one nation out of 200+ (I will say the exact same thing about the United States who has also been chirping). I think the back breaker was Seb Coe. When he's saying to move to postpone the Olympics as head of the most prominent sports federation involved in the Games, that carries a lot of weight.
Not to mention NBC may carry more weight than most. I know you're well versed in the subject and likely have some thoughts on what they're going through atm.

And Canada is the first domino to fall. I expect others will follow suit in the coming days, and the IOC will have no choice to postpone. Silver lining is that the IOC is yet again being exposed as the cowardly, corrupt bastards that they are.

Every day makes me fall in love with Trump more and more. Hopefully in 2024 his son runs. There really shouldn't be any other president in America that doesnt have the last name of Trump
Ok, this is the post. You're definitely trolling.

Oh i'm not triggered, i'm never triggered, i'm not a liberal. We control the white house, the senate, have great economy, we are enjoying life under trump. No reason to get triggered really.
This is funny since Donald Trump is the most easily triggered man in America. He freaked out just a week ago because a Canadian television channel cut his cameo from their broadcast of Home Alone 2.

I could care less how he talks. I care about his actions. And the amazing actions and policy for the american people that put america first. That's what I care about. I dont always agree with his twittering. Or the way he talks. But I agree with his policy, his economics and all he's done in the past 3 years
You can think that. But remember, 50 years from now, no one will care what level the stock market was at under Trump. All he will ever be remembered for is that he was impeached.

@Maxim Fastovsky This is the type of man you choose to worship. I'm sure you're a wonderful guy though.

What a historic moment. Even though he will likely be acquitted in the senate, finally this serial criminal and despicable man is facing the consequences of a lifetime of breaking the law and putting himself before others. I only hope that Americans will be smart enough to remove this monster from office in November.
No matter how you try and spin it, Trump's legacy will forever be tarnished as he becomes one of just 3 presidents to ever be impeached. A very fitting legacy.

I find it enjoyable, and quite literally have nothing better to do until “Watchmen” comes on in an hour, so I have to do something to kill the time. While I agree that I won’t change any minds tonight, it’s always worth a shot. I don’t dislike @Maxim Fastovsky as a person, so there’s nothing wrong with a spirited argument, especially when there are so few republicans around in California.
For the record, I obviously don't dislike him either. I just don't think Trump supporters are worth discussing politics with, as they're too far gone of the deep end. That's why sports exist for friendlier debate instead

It's a huge problem for the left-wingers Trump is the most Jewish-friendly president USA has ever had. You'd love to throw him under the racism bus however you can't because the Jewish people would grill you. And let's face it, getting the Jewish votes in USA is way more important than Muslims votes.
Yeah, the truth being that he doesn't actually give a shit about Israel - it's purely for votes, as you mentioned. Look no further than his casual bigoted remarks a few days ago in front of the Israeli American Council that many saw as bigoted.

The founding fathers also thought that slavery was fine, women and black people didn’t need to vote, and the natives were “savages” that need “education”. Some undocumented immigrants have never known any country but this country. What about them?
This. Something I never understand about Americans is why you worship a document drafted by men who all had syphilis and owned slaves.
-
@Olympian1010 I would just cut your losses. You're debating against someone speaking verbatim from a Fox News comment section. It's not worth it. As you yourself have admitted, you are left-wing and I don't totally agree with everything you say, but at least your side does not peddle in conspiracy theories and falsehoods like these Trumpists do. For that reason, like I said, you're talking to a brick wall by trying to debate with this guy.

@George_D I hate that is must come to this, my friend

Worst possible draw for Canada, ffs.
I respectfully disagree. I still think this group will be a cakewalk for Canada.

Yes, FIBA seems to break the bank in this cycle. Still all those 3x3 absurds are much worse.
Absolutely, I was just thinking that myself. They truly have made complete fools of themselves in this cycle

It's one of the medium-level nonsenses in the Olympic qualification systems. Are we not used to them?
Haha true. Well, this one is particularly idiotic.
-
Wait, so can someone please explain to me why the US and Japan are playing in the qualification tournaments? This makes absolutely no sense to me

I'm not so sure about that, especially with some of them playing in the NBA play-offs, but the fact we're hosting means our federation will be pushing hard for them to play.
I don't buy this, as any player who doesn't make the NBA Finals will have around a month between the end of the playoffs and the qualification tournament. There only player who might face a quick turnaround is Chris Boucher.

Someone clearly hasn’t read their teams fan base properly
Or read into what that hat represents and what people who wear that hat think of people who look like Suzuki.

Not just that but I fear that this is as good as the Canadian team is going to get. Field Hockey Canada just can't afford to run both a men's and a women's program at the level required to qualify to the Olympics. A lot of the players live in Belgium.
I think most of the funding will go to the women. They're on the rise, and I remember Field Hockey Canada saying a few years back that the goal was to become a medal contender in women's by the 2020s.

Sports are crazy sometimes. I feel for the Irish team and fans, a really tough way to lose.
But, Canada off to Tokyo! This was our gold medal, as they'll almost surely be blown out of the water in the Olympics

Nice win from Ireland - very disappointing for Canada
