7.4 earthquake strikes Mexico.

Happy Olympic Day!
 
Lots of Olympic, Professional, and International athletes have posted stuff on Instagram using the hashtag #OlympicDay kind of cool to follow their stories and what not.

Djokovic tested positive for COVID-19.

lowest weight in Taekwondo 54kg, highest weight +87kg
lowest weight in Karate 60kg, highest +84kg
but
lowest in GR wrestling 55kg, highest 130kg
 
how you can have just 4 weights in 70kg range ?
 
and there is a big big difference here, in Taekwondo and Karate, bodyweight is not a big deal. it's not even important, it's mostly about height. they easily compete against someone 10kg heavier but that's impossible in wrestling. even 4-5kg difference matters a lot. 6 weight classes is already very low for men's wrestling. it's OK for women because there is only 26kg gap between highest and lowest weight. but 75kg gap is much much bigger.

An alternative explanation is given here.

not Olympians, but still...
 
in 2 days Italy lost 2 of their most famous football players, 2 legends on the opposite sides of Milan and 2 truly greats of our National team...
 
first, it was "God's Left Foot", FC Inter star, Mario "Mariolino" Corso to leave us at the age of 78...

then yesterday Pietro "Pierino" Prati, AC Milan's legend, died at the age of 73 after long illness...

R.I.P. 

Avery was a scumbag. You can take 1936 out of play and he was still a bad dude. Guy hated everyone that wasn’t a white male. Not only that but he was never for the athletes. He fought to keep amateurism around until his dying breath. Just not a nice guy. 

Very intriguing way to start the 2020 Marble League. Opening Ceremony wasn’t my favorite they’ve done, but no one's here to watch that anyways.
 
I really enjoy the balancing event. I think it’s one of the better concepts they’ve come up with. What’s really interesting to me is the disparity between the scores of the qualification round and the main tournament. I have no clue what caused that be honest.
 
Unfortunately, two of my least favorite teams are now leading the standings. Horrible day for most of the teams I support 

@Dragon knows more about Brundage then I do, but I know he was a well known anti-Semite. He also was the main reason the US attended the 1936 Olympics, even though many athletes, citizens, and leaders favored a boycott of the Games. I believe he also favored the participation of apartheid nations, and turned the Israeli Memorial Service in 1972 into a political spectacle of his own agenda.
 
He is by far the worst IOC President in history. The IOC also tries to cover up his wrongdoings to save their image.

Ooooooooooooooooo! 
 
I’ve always been an Orangers fan since I started watching. It’s been a rough few tournaments for us lately, so hopefully the Marble League where the team finds it mojo again. 
 
I used to despise the Savage Speeders, but now I support them as my second favorite team. They’ve been hot in the last few Marble Leagues, so they’ll be a threat for the title.
 
I also support Mellow Yellow and Crazy Cats Eyes as well. 

That's Apple in a nutshell, and you pay insanely for it  

Jeez, Americans can't get enough of the sick noose threats these days (don't mind the name of the account, I was looking for the pic, obviously the name of the account isn't important).
 
 

Alabama is a strong top-5 pick for every single negative ranking you can think of, so yeah  
 
Anyway, pretty awesome show of support for Wallace before today's race by all the other drivers and teams, and now the race has finally started. As the great Jack Brabham said: when the flag drops, the bullshit stops. Let's go  

Krasimir Anev announced today that he is done with the sport. This is his X time of threatening to retire, but maybe this time he is serious. Anev has a 7 year rivalry with our federations president Ekaterina Dafovska and by his words he can't take it anymore. It has been evident for years that both don't like each other. By my account he is 90% retired and 10% possibly competing for another country. Can't see him returning to the team this time around.   

Not coming from Djokovic. Let's face it, 2020 has been full of people making total idiots of themselves, but Djokovic manages to be easily top-10 in that ranking...and it's like he tries to improve it (i.e. say some dumber shit) every month. Unbelievable.
 
This COVID hotspot appearing in 'his' tournament was of course rather expected, one must have lacked some cells to even go there  

The fabled day has arrived; 2020 Marble League has begun!
 

Here’s what I got when I took it.
 
Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -7.38 
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.56

 

Yes, and what's more we are humble as hell... I mean, as well. :P

While I am not a fan of all those (newly created, mixed) team events being added just to fill the void, there are definitely some team events in individual sports which have built up quite a reputation (artistic gymnastics, equestrian, fencing). These are far from just adding up individual scores.

The use of “beated” distracts me from the rest of this meme.

I do love the Space Jam shirt though. Space Jam

Since, I am a minority in this group, anybody trolling me from now on, is a majoritarian fascist. 

Lol the average gamer in 2020 is anything but progressive. More like the opposite.  

So, I'm the second biggest lefty in the forum after olympian, no surprise.
 
 
Btw that question that correlates your concept of art to your political compass is very ideological on itself
