They stand for nothing but their own gains. They train for years and we look up to them like they're some sort of super hero but when it comes time to actually be a hero, they fold like paper.
Imagine going to a country that has genocide camps, social credit scores for the populace and best of all A COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT just so you can compete with a bunch of other faggots for a metal.
Now they're complaining about the food and treatment they are getting from the CCP.
What a bunch of clowns.
But at the same they are exposing what a communist country looks like.
I agree. The slope style snow board hill looks like it is in the middle of a nuclear power plant waste field straight out of Fallout.
They say it is a former "steel factory". Maybe, but it looks like they built the snowboard hill on top of the remains of Chernobyl.
FWIW, I did not see it on cable or NBC. I tuned in hoping to see that commie traitor from California who switched sides to the CCP crash and burn. Unfortunately, she won gold.
One thing I noticed while peaking in though is that china looks like a frigging hell hole. No beauty at all. Just a total wasteland. Stacks of cheap apartment buildings all over the place.
There's a travelling show going around the US called "China Before Communism - SHEN YU".
People tend to forget China wasn't always a Communist Country.
I always wanted to see them perform, but the tickets are too expensive for us. I noticed that after all the fall out about China, the billboards around here have "added" the line "China Before Communism". LOL I knew right away they were trying to distance themselves from the current ccp regime.
Exactly. They were pulled into this globalist nightmare same as we were
Don't waste your money or time. Walked out half way through
everyone knows those kind of cooling towers are for one thing, nuclear fission reactors. that iconic bell shape isn't used for anything else that i am aware of, even for novelty.
The athletes are mostly very young. They spend their lives training for their sport. They don't choose which country will host the Olympics, and while many have probably been too absorbed in their sport to even understand what communism is, NOW they are getting a chance to be up close and personal with it. What a grand way (white hat plan?) for a group of people from around the world, mostly young people, to see firsthand the results of communism. Don't think they're going to go home and tell everybody they know (including probably doing some press appearances) about their experiences? Don't think this is going to open their eyes and make them aware of things they had ZERO knowledge of before? Think of that young woman who has been in isolation and crying on video. She's from Belgian. That's the freaking capital of the EUROPEAN UNION!! Like so many things in life, what appears to be a negative can turn out to be quite positive in the end.
Chinese defector chicks were offered a lucrative lifestyle, I'd assume.
Two-time Tripsy didnt hold up her end of the bargain...now destined to ridicule and poverty.
Guldie McSki won gold and will live like a queen
All this. Plus who devotes themselves totally to something. Something mostly aimed towards one event. An event that to their young eyes is likely the most important one they will ever take part in. And then shrugs their shoulders and walks away from it?
And a short window to do it.
Living the red pill.
You shouldn’t speak in absolutes. Not all Olympic athletes are self serving pricks.
Hidilyn Diaz is a good example of using the Olympic platform for good. Filipino government tried to kiss her ass after the fact which made it more funny.
I agree. Imagine dedicating your entire life to winning a medal and finally getting your chance, only to wind up in this shitty scenario. This is the fault of the corrupt IOC. While I greatly appreciate and respect any athlete that takes a stand, I don’t think it’s fair to blame the athletes for this.
These athletes, unless absolutely loaded or with a massive inheritance, live off of the money they get from sponsors, winnings, and/or advertisements. As I see it, with this kind of income instability, they are probably trained to bow down to others' influence and authority.
Of course, they can say no. But standing up for oneself is difficult when you've been manipulated like this. Especially if you consider coaching abuse. A lot of athletes have mental illnesses, too, which... kind of comes with the territory.
I feel bad for them, but I don't pity them. I certainly don't consider them scum, but I can see why a person would.
Keep em. We don't need them.
Flip side: They train for years, have no choice of the olympic venue and could age out by the next games in 4 more years. 4 years is a long time unless you are in pro sports. Heck 4 years at top performance is also hard for pro's.
After two years of this bullshit and 4 years of hate against Trump and company, I really have no flip side for people who are in a position of influence and maintain the status quo. Especially while promoting the CCP.
I agree we need an USA hockey moment. CPP with shit food, forced interment, and who knows what new variants our 'soy sheep' will come home with. I bet they are just loving it though.
That'st just asinine. Walk outside and your spouse to record you yelling "FUCK THE US GOVERNMENT. FUCK BIDEN.". Then post it online.
It's like the Olympics of 1936.
And the Chinese are cheating like crazy to take metals away from them.
Even better lmao
"Imagine going to a country that has genocide camps, social credit scores for the populace and best of all A COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT just so you can compete with a bunch of other faggots for a metal."
Like the United States?
No. I mean like China. All this shit we are fighting here isn't even possible to fight over there. Absolutely impossible. I mean China.
We are literally the same exact thing. Get your head out of your ass.
Not only that, the olympics were held in Beijing not that long ago (was it in '08?) so why would this group be suspicious enough to choose not to partake. I mean, you or I may have chosen not to go, but that's because we know stuff that many of these people probably don't know. And the fact that 'all the team' is going and there's 'safety in numbers' and it's going to be played out on the 'world stage,' were probably all part of their decision to go and believe they were safe..
'08 was a different world. Post plandemic and the discovery of genocide camps is insane.
These guys are all quick to jump on some woke shit but jump on a plane to CCP land? Trash.
