Is that a big bargaining chip or something? The presence of the Ukrainian Olympic team?

I mean, having Ukraine boycott the Olympics isn’t a great look for the Olympics.

didnt a bunch of people boycott it when china was hosting it?

echodot,

Yeah because the Olympic committee are a bunch of idiots. They keep saying that the Olympics are not political, while being obviously political.

Allowing China to host was a political decision. It showed support for China, no matter how much the Olympic committee said it didn’t.

Morons the lot of them.

The IOC is not a great look for the Olympics. The organisation is cancerous, just like FIFA

No serious athlete will want mickey mouse medals if the real competition isn’t there.

For anyone who’s worried when they see RT, Yahoo has this from Reuters: …yahoo.com/paris-olympics-ukraine-torn-over-13284…

Content essentially the same, RT has more info about Moscow’s reactions, Yahoo more about Ukraine.

RT is propaganda

The original Olympic truce required everyone to lay down their arms. It would go against the spirit to selectively enforce this. Not that the IOC actually cares about the legacy of the games, they tried to remove wrestling at one point.

Hey, this isn’t a terrible article but the source website is questionable at best. I am going to remove this topic, but if you have an article from a more reputable source please post it!

For 9 months, he’ll claim he doesn’t have them and also that he had the right to take them, even though they don’t exist (and also he shows them to folks at the resort).

In a year, he’ll claim he has been too busy to figure out which boxes the relics are stored in and needs time to separate out his golf shirts and newspaper clippings from among the relics, and also he doesn’t have them and has them and had every right to take them, and also Bibi begged him to take the relics as a gift to America.
