    History is repeating, 90 years after and fascist country is organazing olympic games, Donald Trump will wellcome Vladimir Putin in next olympic games (“Hiler meet Mussolini” moment). I would be very worried if I were Jewish, Roma, Slav, communist, gay, opposition.

      The next olympics are in 2028. Do you really expect dementia don to still be around by then? His brain is literally rotting away. He’s 80, in poor physical health even disregarding the Alzheimers. At this point he shouldn’t be buying green bananas. The question is what will end him first.

    Also here in the Baltics we’re no longer allowed to host any events that are qualifiers for the Olympics because we refuse to let Russians in. Some were already moved to other countries.

    Well, talking about standards… Both the FIFA and the Olympics love to be hosted by dictatorships, corrupts governments and countries using slavery to build the stadia. Next to that they don’t ban Israel, the US or China so when it comes to human rights, war crimes and crimes against humanity, they have no moral compass.

    From here I would blame people who keep watching the Olympics.

    Just like I blame those who keep watching football even after all the FIFA bullshit.

    Corporations will do anything they can get away with with profits and so far people have been good little milking cows

      Agree. Thing is those sports/organizations need alternatives for people to move to. That is what will stop most people from watching those

    Russia should remain banned. However in fairness many other countries should also be banned. How can Israel or the US be allowed if Russia isn’t? Ukraine if fine, they are only defending themselves and are not the aggressor. Some others are harder to determine. As long as the US is allowed, there really isn’t any high ground to use for excluding other countries.

    IOC and FIFA, sitting in a tree…

    B-E-I-N-G-P-I-E-C-E-S-O-F-S-H-I-T

    First comes greed

    Then comes cash

    Then comes bribes

    Hidden in a stash

        Did the FIA also lift the ban?

        In my mind the level of corruption of the FIFA makes the FIA look like saints.
