Unfortunately, it isn’t up to you to decide what to hand wave and what to gloss over. We differ. Accept it. There really isn’t anything you can say to reiterate here say “sports investigative journalism” and a myriad of other hopeful Rio Hating mania to excuse all this. WE differ. Move on.
I am asserting that you are hand waving away the provable evidence to keep pushing your narrative that "he deserved it."
We differ.
We do. I advocate an evidence based position, and you are advocating some sort of punitive attitude directed at an innocent man, and for reasons that are so far totally unfathomable to me. How you can ignore the evidence to push your narrative, I do not grasp.
It is the same feeling I get when I contemplate how people want to vote for Clinton because they think she is more honest and has more experience. It is not a "reality" based belief.
Accept it.
And why should I do that? Just because people say a man is a woman, doesn't make it so. My own personal philosophy requires me to refuse to accept illusion as the truth. I don't care that other people wish to believe untrue things, I will not do this and I will urge others not to do it either.
