Not that it affects the athletes but Brandon is taking a stand again China. Thoughts?

at this point you should really just boycott all big sport Events. The next Football World Cup takes place in Katar int the Winter...
But as long as there are glamourus Stadiums and big shows no one cares about human rights getting completly ignored. sad but mone talks...
China sends thousands of uyhgurs to working camps just bc they're an ethic minority and most people in china don't even know about bc free speech is a dream there and the media is completly rigged. Meanwhile in Katar over 6500 Work-Immigrants have dies ont the construction sites.


Those big events are such a shit show and the big associations behind it like IOC and FIFA are completly corrupt,


Best thing ppl can do ist to just not watch that shit....

But with the amount of bangers dropping this season i'd say its not hard to entertain yourself with skiing content...

I hate that the olympics can be so political.

I have trouble watching the coverage because it's so US focused. I'd like to see all the important runs of all the events regardless of which country an athlete is from. I'd like to see non-US backstories of their hopefuls.

The same network that does this blabs on and on about how this is an international celebration.

If anybody was serious about maintaining moral high ground (which nobody is) they wouldve boycotted america for murdering millions in Afghanistan, Iraq x2, Syria, Libya, Yemen, etc

I don't think you are understanding the whole situation here or even the reason for a boycott.

Honeslty good on Biden for taking somewhat of a stand on something. Pretty sure I will not be watching anything myself.
