I don’t see anyway it can go on now. I just hope NBC loses all that money.
They had announced that no spectators will be at the games. They have to be taking a big financial bath on this, with no spectators, no tourists coming to Japan to see the games.
The money is just one aspect of big events such as the Olympics, but, I’m sure the losses will be staggering and over and above what they had budgeted for.
COVID 4 EVER!
The Japanese are really big on not losing face. They are too far in to get out now.
I don’t wish for cancellation. A lot of young people have worked and sacrificed for this moment.
However, a cancellation will be an object lesson in what government brings. Maybe a few of the indoctrinated will be attentive enough to see.
Oh nooooooo! π΄π΄π΄π΄π΄π΄π΄ Too bad for most of the kids but overall.....π©
If it’s canceled it won’t be due to CoupFlu.
It’ll be because nobody wants to watch.
But since that won’t be covered by insurance, they’ll blame CoupFlu, which might help them recover some of their losses.
If it’s cancelled, Gwen berry will say they did it just to show her up...
I’d like to feel sorry for the ordinary athletes who have spent years and years training for the Olympics.
It’s not there fault China released Covid on the world. It’s not their fault many countries focus on petty politics instead of true sportsmanship.
Yet - they knew the Olympics was a slimy snake when they joined in.
Just cancel them from now on. They cannot discern between the sexes? Not interested.
It’s purely a medical decision.
if they want them to proceed, they’ll test athletes with a lower PCR cycle count.
if they want to cancel, they’ll raise it.
I hope they cancel it. Please cancel it.
The athletic events donβt matter anyway, itβs all about making a statement to a lot of the athletes.
But what are the bookies saying? Vegas has got to have odds on that, right?
Godzilla is PO’d.
The Olympic Games are obsolete in so many ways. If the Wuhan virus kills the Olympics it may be one of the few good things to come out of the virus.
Actually, I think there may have been something like that, years ago. Wonder what happened to it.
That would be sweet justice for all the prima donas that planned to disrespect the US flag.
Good grief! The athletes have been preparing for this for over 4 years in some cases. Let them all compete and stop testing for a flu bug that has zero chance of killing them.
Quarantine them afterward until it’s safe for them to board a plane. What’s the big deal?
No way in hell the Olymics will be cancelled at the last minute . Take it to the bank .
The only reason staging of The Olympics is even being considered is the money NBC and other broadcast networks have committed to them. It’s a shame for all the athletes who have made such a commitment towards the competition, but The Games should be cancelled.
Personally, I will not be watching (men competing as women, and US athletes promising to burn the flag if they win...).
