China sucks rocks. I coulda told all those athletes that, if they had just asked ‘ol Sarcazmo.
Oops, meant CCP. I’m sure the rest of China is fine.
A spirit of Unity and Freedom cannot flourish in a Communist country.
Chi com clown show.
“inexplicably awarded the 2022 Winter Games to China”
We are now having a winter Olympics in an area that never really gets any snow and 100% of the snow surface for every event from down hill skiing to cross country skiing is entirely man made. The highest elevation is only 4000 feet. The skiing surface is like concrete and world class skiers having trouble.
Bwahahaha, what a retard story. Everybody knows the giant penised Americans will rule the earth, always.
I read that there is no recreational skiing in the area if the Olympics.
It's like having the winter Olympics in Baltimore. Or Kansas City. Temperatures in Beijing are up in the 40s.
What an utter joke. Glad I'm not watching or otherwise paying attention.
China was the Highest Bidder. Nothing else to be said.
Evil China and their Democrat scum allies.
I read that steel plant is defunct but it looks kind of impressive as a backdrop.
Interesting. Are they going to tear the lifts out afterward? Or use them for summer downhill mountain biking or something? I haven’t really watched, but a couple of events were on the big screen at McDonalds.
Olympics? What is this Olympics being discussed here?
Well, you were close.
China was the highest briber.
It's been true for multiple games and other international sporting events.
Anyone for a free and open FIFA?
Plus, these committees are run by fellow travelers from the socialist platform.
Just the way it is.
That would have made a great Pink Floyd album cover.
All we need is the flying pig.
Blame the IOC. They wanted the Olympics to be in extravagant facilities. The CCP said “fine we’ll build them next to the nuclear plant”. So the deal was done. Of course, they were the only country to bid on the games. Well, other than Kazakhstan.
Norway rejected the olympic committee’s application for government funding to hold the event in Norway after the private organisation IOC made a large number of demands which caused a scandal in Norway. The demands notably included “diva-like demands for luxury treatment” for the IOC members themselves, such as special lanes on all roads only to be used by IOC members and a cocktail reception at the Royal Palace with drinks paid for by the royal family. Several commentators pointed out that such demands were unheard of in a western democracy; Slate described the IOC as a “notoriously ridiculous organization run by grifters and hereditary aristocrats
