U.S. Olympic officials bowed to the protests of pro-illegal migrant activists and dropped the name “Ice House” for its athlete hospitality lounge and renamed it “Winter House.”

The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) had advertised the lounge area as an “athlete-first space” where US figure skaters, hockey players, speedskaters, and their guests could gather in their free time to lounge and congregate at the Milano Cortina Winter Games in Italy, according to the New York Post

It’s a twofer — Winter Olympics are now ice-free ... and Global Warming fears escalate!

> renamed it “Winter House” <

I object to that! Because it arrogantly ignores cultures that don’t use houses. Instead they use tents, igloos, and such.

I demand that the entire Olympic Committee resign in disgrace. Then put me in charge. If the money is right, I’ll come up with a suitable woke alternative.

You often have to check if a story has a Babylon Bee byline. And then be surprised when it isn’t.

This is one of those cases.

OMG. I am sure that it was named “Ice” in honor of the surface they play on! This is ridiculous!

The article didn’t state it was the athletes that demanded the change, suggesting to me that is just political opposition from leftist Karen’s with nothing better to do.

How far does this go, what else has to be renamed- ice skates, ice rink?

If you had any doubt about where the “outrage” comes from and is funded from, you’ve now been informed.

Can FR have a feature like X where we can see posts’ country of origin (inclusive of flagging VPNs,Tor outputs and other spoofs)? It’s been a LONG time since I did anything in Perl.

Another once respected world renowned governing body shows that they collectively do not have even a single set of gonads to go around.
