The Olympics and World Cup should be relocated away from the US.
As much as I agree with don't go there, the Olympics were in Russia and Brazil not too long ago and the World Cup in Qatar and Russia. If those places were fine (which, from the looks of them, they werent) then the US is still ok to handle them for now.
You're right. I mean, the nazis had the Olympics in Berlin in '36 too, what's the worst that can happen?
I don’t merely mean for punitive measures, I worry about ICE enforcement against athletes and fans.
Since clearly greed is paramount why deliver the funds and leverage to shake down foreigners? It’s sadly not like they’re beyond common mob tactics.
If I was the IOC I'd be worried about empty seats as well. Fascism is poor for tourism.
Qatar was packed. If people cared they wouldn’t go to the slaver shit hole country YET.
I see a different pattern of corruption and bribery, including the US.
wrong person
i think that’s also whataboutism though…
those things should not have happened there (qatar in particular had the whole thing of bribery and corruption that afaik had big fallout for FIFA). the fact that they did doesn’t mean that this is okay
it’s a fucking travesty that world pride is happening in DC right now
Grimes is going?!
With all respect - does the lgbtq community respect themselves at all? She’s a fucking fascist!
the LGBTQ community takes every possible opportunity to make themselves mainstream
taking money from corps so they can pink wash and then erasing queer culture from our events because they might lose sponsors because it’s “not family friendly” has basically been the story of every queer event
inviting people that have some name recognition is just an extension of that - they get to pink wash themselves and we get to “appear more centerist”
i’d say some of our LGBTQ community respect ourselves and what we stand for… some of us honestly just want to fit in - which is fine until that means punching down on those of us who want to be who we are because not all of queer culture is family friendly… some of it is about who we love, some of it is about who we fuck, some of it is about kink and fetish and expressing SEXUALITY; not just romance
sorry; tangent
the olympics and world cup federation/organization, is even more corrupt or as corrupt as these host countries, they will do anything if they arnt paying for building the stadium at all. people had problems with ME countries sportswashing these organizations with thier oil money.
The next American Olympics is in 2028, in Los Angeles. HitlerPig should be out of office by then, but if he suspends elections, or does some other wild maneuver to remain in office, most countries in the world will boycott them, and we'll have an Olympics with mostly just Russia, China, and America.
Term doesn't end until Jan 2029.
You're right, I don't know what I was thinking. The 2028 Olympics will be happening at the peak of the 2028 Presidential election, which will probably be crazy, especially if HitlerPig is trying to run again.
He's going to want a big, beautiful Olympics, and he'll be pissed that it will be ruined by European and other countries boycotting it. American athletes, visitors, and viewers should boycott it, too.
the damage is done, probably will affect how many people show up in LA, if another republican wins, definitely less likely to see tourists.
