@Billie @proedie @mikemathia yeah, but #OpenRA multiplayer really smacks my ass, cuz I got no chance winning against people playing 80+ hours of it each week for 10+ years.

@proedie @Billie @mikemathia Except the #IOC is so fucking corrupt and unreflected, they unsarcastically sell #Berlin1936 #merchandise in their official store!

Olympics T-shirt marking 1936 Berlin Games raises eyebrows

T-shirts on the Olympics online store commemorating past venues include one for the 1936 Games in Berlin. Nazi Germany hosted both the Winter and Summer Olympics that year, as it was starting to ramp up its repression.

@proedie @Billie @mikemathia that doesn't make it any less bad…

#IOC still does #Sportswashing and I think the only legitimate reaction is to defund, divest and embargo that shitshow until they undid harm caused…

@kkarhan @Billie @mikemathia I didn’t mean to defend them. I just had a look into their shop and couldn’t find the 1936 stuff.

@proedie @Billie @mikemathia apparently once @dw_innovation / #DWnews was running that coverage they got told "#YGTBSM!" and pulled it.
