The modern incarnation is basically a real estate Ponzi scheme 

They should just build permanent stadiums in Greece and reuse them. Choose a different host country each time and the host gets to decorate and plan out some cultural activities. That way they can stop the cycle of of building stadiums that will just be demolished/abandoned each cycle. But of course, the whole point of the Olympics is grift, so that would never work.

This is entirely the best thing. It would also bring a constant cycle of tourism dollars to Greece to spread the investment out over the years. A fund could be established paid for in part by host countries, but also in part by the IOC (lol) to keep the costs from being entirely on the back of the host. 

 

And we should do the same in some winter city as well. I have no idea what the best option for the winter olympics would be in terms of location.

Sha’Carri Richardson, Brianna McNeal and Naomi Osaka were penalized over their decisions on mental health. Experts say the system isn’t built for them.

 

 

It's because black women are stereotyped to be tougher and not actual, you know, regular people. This shit trickles down to kids.

Hard to screw up since they sound completely different.

 

I thought from the headline that maybe he heard someone speaking Japanese and thought it was Chinese (which would be a stupid gaffe as well, since they sound totally different like you say), but no, he literally confused which country is which.

A Japanese musician who admitted bullying classmates, some of whom had disabilities, while at school has resigned as a composer for the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics

 

 

Quote

Oyamada told Quick Japan magazine in 1995 how he had confined a classmate in a cardboard box and forced a boy with an intellectual disability to eat his own faeces and masturbate in front of other children. He made similar comments in another magazine interview a year earlier.
