Watching the US Olympic Gymnastics trials on NBC and I have no idea how any sport fan can like this coverage. Ads every three minutes or so, personal stories about the athletes that add nothing, and too much focus on very few gymnasts (especially Biles, of course) - even when there are other routines going on.
 

So equal rights aren’t a political position then, thus acts that call for equality are apolitical?
 
Faroe Islands, Macau, South Ossetia, Sahrawi Republic, Bougainville…
 
Unless you want to compete as an athlete in a gendered event, or earn a Continental quota place, or be awarded tripartite invitation, or be a member of the Refugee Team…
 
Who gets to decide what messages are okay? Is regulating speech and/or actions apolitical?

Sports is so interwined with politics that anyone saying it should be apolitical is laughable.
 
Also, people who want x to be apolitical usually have a very defined ideology: they are pro status quo almost always.

So why are people against it then…

I had mononucleosis once and it was horrible. I have no ideia how i got it, maybe the girl who I was making out with was cheating on me 

You probably have no idea how disgusting you sound. It doesn't change the fact that, indeed, you are hateful and this comment is outrageous.

Came across this article about Liberia’s uniforms, though there’s not much in the way of photos yet. 
 

Good thing for Mourão the decision was largely based on the time before this year, because this year Goulão has been quite a lot better  
 
Hopefully she can improve her shape, although I do have good hope for that: the transition from cross-country skiing to the MTB World Cups was rather short, one can understand that's not very easy and things should get better now.
 
And good to see the second Brazilian men's ticket does indeed go to Cocuzzi...there was a tiny bit of doubt for a moment, but even though he probably won't end up far in the front, he has had that one moment of brilliance last year where he was suddenly leading the field  (before a flat tyre...)

Brazil will play, but players will protest (whatever that means, 'cause for me the most meaningful protest would be simply not participate).

Apparently the US men won't stay for finals, which is understandable, but makes the competition even more uneventful than already was.
 

No. Chile, Dominican Republic and Mexico still to come.
 

Serbian player making laugh of Thai during their match , such a racist gesture ofc
