The Olympics - in a world of political chaos. That could affect the Games, especially for the United States. American athletes are used to people liking them, says political scientist Stephen Marr.

However bad this year is, the 2028 Olympics in LA will literally be a near repeat of the Nazis hosting the Olympics in Berlin in 1936

Looking forward to President Pedophile bitching because he didn't get any medals.

He already won the FIFA Gold Medal for the 100m sprint. Fastest time ever.

Don't forget his triumphs in tennis!

A woman just gave him that trophy because it was rightfully his. They will just scratch the old name off.

I sympathise for the athletes. However, we did this with South African athletes to put pressure on the Apartheid regime. All pressure mounts up.

I mean it might suck for them personally, but they know what they signed up for. You know as an Olympic Athlete you're representing your nation. That you're basically a propaganda tool. It goes with the territory.

I sympathise for the athletes

i don't. you can't get to that level of competition without having been rich your entire life. oh boo hoo now someone doesn't like them well buck up buttercup

It's funny how confidently incorrect you are.

what, that olympic athletes are rich? i know a few too many olympic athletes (none of them have any clue what poverty is) and trained a couple. why?

"I've known a handful of rich athletes so they all must be rich."

Good lol

I'm not sure about the athletes, but I can assure you I will make every sound possible to make sure no one can hear the anthem.

Should do it during the World Cup too

True. I'm curious how many people will attend. My whish would be 'none', but I guess it'll be some at least.

The symbol needs to be shitty diapers thrown on the ice. Use brownies because someone needs to clean it up.

brownie batter
