OK, these phone plugs are probably also not worth keeping considering:

1. I don't live in the only/main country which use(d?) them.

I do like choosing coffee cup based on mood of the day :-).

(Not quite that bad, but still.)

I'm not at suprised by the complete lack of morals in much of sporting, but it's still sad to see.

While Russia is murdering and kidnapping Ukrainians, it should be pretty obviously they should be excluded for any and all sports as the lowest bar.

I would be surprised if IOC ends up having morals, given their general corruption, but perhaps...
