The creative boss of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Hiroshi Sasaki, has resigned after making controversial remarks about hugely popular Japanese entertainer Naomi Watanabe, suggesting that she could appear as an 'Olympig'. Sasaki, who was the chief creative director for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Tokyo Olympics, said Watanabe could be asked to wear pig ears at the Games curtain-raiser.
He raised the idea last year in a group chat, but his suggestion was immediately rejected by his colleagues involved in the Olympics preparation process.
Weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun reported Sasaki’s remarks on Wednesday, prompting the official to immediately resign from his post.

He may just wanted to get out of town while the getting was good. Saw some reports that the Tokyo Olympic are over budget by BILLIONS of dollars. There is also opposition building in Japan against allowing outsiders into the country. There is a good chance the 2020 (2021) summer games will be a complete failure.
The Olympic business model is broken and if it can not be fixed this may be the last Olympic.

Not sure why he had to go — she clearly embraces her porcine identity.

She looks like an overweight Minnie Mouse.

The Olympics used to have some major hotties but the new face of “hot” and what constitutes attractive is now perverted.

She should thank him. She’s going to be 100 times more popular after this.
