Oh! I saw that one in a video that was about US football songs

Tell that to any professional cyclist ever who's gone on Alpe d'Huez during the Tour de France. The Dutch fans usually are just cheering and yelling, they luckily don't really have some cheesy chants or songs (anymore)

"Let's go on a little creative journey. From basically trash, to....?" Anyone having any idea what it's going to be?

I highly doubt anyone here is disagreeing with that, and with 'fair line of work' I think the main point was it's a fair line of work for people who actually choose to work in said line of work (I can hardly imagine, but they exist), of course not people who are forced into it. My 2 cents, and meanwhile, @hckosice or someone could probably move this whole thing to the General thread right after the post about Klishina (which was still athletics-related)

Kyle Busch being Kyle Busch

Do you happen to sleep under bridges?

I absolutely remember being annoyed as fuck by that! Well, either that, or another monotonous chant of which I'm not sure whether or not it was Iranian (I think I remember to me it sounded like "Iraaaaan Iran....Iraaaaan Iran" times 50 million non-stop, but I could have misheard the word of course)

Right, so there's an award for athlete of the year, but when said athlete does something they find 'immoral' or whatever (not cheating, not going out and hurting other people), they're just gonna rebrand the whole thing? That is some weak shit.

Ah, we've arrived at the point where it's time to easily judge people struggling with severe mental disorders. Right, enjoy!

The sheer stupidity of people, institutions and companies knows no limits.

Not really. Shops here aren't that full anyway, so keeping some distance isn't very complicated most of the time. That's pretty much the biggest thing, I really couldn't care less about having to keep distance when I'm running outside for example, that's easy I haven't yet been in a situation where this distance thing actually annoyed me or anything.

Darya Klishina, the only Russian allowed to compete in athletics in the 2016 Olympics, said she has gotten a rather....interesting offer. An anonymous American offered her a sum of money to work as...you ain't gonna guess this....an escort "He sent the offer a few months ago in a DM on Instagram, I never expected that. I'm not someone who starts yelling then, so I kindly answered I wasn't interested. He answered by saying "Wait, don't refuse immediately, you don't know the terms yet." It was a pretty large amount of money, 180.000 euro...per month. It kinda made me wonder if I really look like someone who'd accept that."

Arnhem survived Market Garden, let's see if this proves to be their undoing.

Uh oh. Fire in a former nuclear plant in the Netherlands, which was closed in 1997 and set to be broken down and demolished in 2045. Hopefully the uranium is indeed gone

Chinese? They just seem to 'be there', Americans seem to be the most intolerable (in literally any sport ever, one might add) since you're pretty much always expecting some brainless 'U S A! U S A! U S A!' to be droning on from the stands Anyhow, the point made in that post is absolutely excellent, about how it's sad that the Olympics (and sports in general) are more about a national pride thing ("athlete A wins and he has the same nationality in his passport as I do, wow!") instead of a thing of actually appreciating the athletes no matter their nationality.

I wouldn't necessarily say "add to this", since he and his cronies are largely responsible for the situation to exist this badly in the first place... And apparently today until Monday (?) are holidays and half of São Paulo says 'fuck taking care' and travels to the beach cities, where people already don't give two fucks about taking care and now that's gonna be overflowing with people from one of the world's biggest hard-hit cities, all of whom are not going to take any precaution whatsoever.

I'd somehow find it an interesting surprise if @hckosice turns out to have some sort of absolute mad skull tattoo with fiery eyes on his entire arm or something

That sounds like something that isn't done yet, not at all..

I wonder how many millions the players have given up by now. Surely they can stay alive with a little less than hundreds of thousands of euros per month?

Two years before she had lifted 6kg more than that But yeah, that was some nice bit of putting pressure on your opponent.

The one that was decided already when the leader still had two lifts remaining because in the snatch she already showed to be two classes better than the rest? Ah wait, I forgot the failing Chinese I'd go for Rahimov, Rostami and Figueroa winning gold as highlights in terms of awesome moments.

I'd say you're kicking in an open door there, but that door was so wide open there wasn't even a door left

Lance Armstrong has confessed to using doping also before his cancer, as early as 21 years of age, meaning he didn't win his world title clean. Meanwhile Rudy Pevenage, former team leader of T-Mobile - most notably sort of the boss of Jan Ullrich and link between him and Fuentes - had some interesting stuff to say about Dr Ferrari, of course famous for helping Armstrong 'boost his engine'. According to Pevenage, he is now called 'Testarossa' And he is still very much active, despite being banned, on.......surprise, surprise.....really, nobody would get this........seriously, this is the biggest shock ever..... Pevenage: "They should know that....I know and I don't even have anything to do with cycling anymore. I have no idea what exactly he's doing there, I don't very much care. Maybe riders nowadays are using smarter, smaller doses so it won't show up in their blood passports." Oh my gosh, next thing you know those super remote training locations in South Africa or something are also shady, no way!

We're back

China or Japan are generally built a bit better to withstand a monster like this than India and especially Bangladesh though..
