Aber diese Entscheidung ist dann NICHT politisch oder wie???

Diese ganzen Funktionäre sollten zum Teufel gejagt werden. Mit dem olympischen Geist hat DAS gar nichts zu tun!!!

Ich bin das alles sooooo leid.....🤮🤮🤮

Has the IPC already created a (fake) Peace Price for Putun, like the one Trump got from Infantino ?
No ?
That's really not nice of them. 😏

@EugeneMcParland Time to reconsider being a part of those big corrupted politicized shitshows like the Olympics.

@EugeneMcParland I would say this is corruption from the Russian side. They should take this to court!

UN charter clearly states the right to self-defence. How could it be political to defend occupied territories? 🤔

Olympic games are a money making machine.
If it pays out they support any regime, no matter what.
The athletes and spectators are just pawns on the board.

@EugeneMcParland I hope the team makes those jackets available for sale, because they are gorgeous, would sell well, and help them raise money.

It's ridiculous to regard a country's map as controversial on the official wear.
