Nah fuck those [insert privileged group here]. They’re the cause of everything wrong, so I can waste my life with a clear conscience knowing that it’s their evil, and not my own decisions, that are the cause of all my suffering.
Literally just a blank place holder my dude. Posting to highlight how hatred is very much acceptable, and people just delude themselves into believing they don’t hate because their targets are socially acceptable. Real change would require actual introspection rather than agreeing with whatever your echo chamber says today.
“To be honest … I would be opposed to showing up on the current version of the platform—the right wing culture of the site is too polarizing from a brand suitability standpoint today,” the message read.
If they are forced to advertise places, I’m going to sue them to advertise on my ass. I can provide metrics that show it has enough visitors to warrant at least a banner ad.
Retirement shouldn’t be an option for him. He was the head of the department and therefore has responsibility of those he leads, the deputies under him. If he didn’t want that responsibility then he shouldn’t have taken the job. People want the reputation and the salary benefits of leadership positions, but they don’t want the responsibility, or don’t understand it. For something like this the guilty deputy and his leadership should both be held accountable and responsible. The sheriff is a failure as a leader and his job.
He should have been fired already. No pension. Dare I say, due to the nature of this crime, he should have also been arrested? Leadership positions should be held to much higher accountability imo.

I think this needs a bit more context. Before “the dream team” the US only sent NCAA basketball players. The same goes with all sports, including hockey. The US’s complaint was that other countries were sending their professional players. Cuba’s baseball team, the USSR’s hockey team, etc. were solely comprised of essentially professional players that did they sport for a living. It was successfully argued that this was an unfair advantage for countries with programs like this.
PS: This is why “The Miracle on Ice”, when the US beat the USSR in hockey was such a big deal. The US team was essentially a bunch college kids while the USSR was playing with arguably the best hockey players in the world at the time. It was the equivalent to Puerto Rico beating the original Dream Team in basketball.
The Olympics, the world’s biggest sporting stage, bring in billions of dollars in TV rights, ticket sales and sponsorship, but most athletes must fend for themselves financially.
Ok, so the IOC should be taking that revenue away from the host country and expect them to pay for the infrastructure and staff at an even bigger loss?
I’m sorry you are unable to read an AP article. Hopefully this will help:
The International Olympic Committee is a not-for-profit, nongovernmental body based in Lausanne, Switzerland. It generates 91% of its income from selling broadcast rights (61%) and sponsorships (30%). Income for the latest four-year cycle of Winter and Summer Games ending with the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 was $7.6 billion. The IOC says it returns 90% of its income back into sports, although athletes directly get only a small slice. There may be a move afoot to change that.
I can read it, that’s why I asked. That figure would be very much in the same ballpark. 7.6B * 0.9 / 1826 days = 3.67 M per day or 4.61M when it would have been 4 years
The Olympics was intended for amateur athletes, but they’re all essentially professionals now if they have any chance of medaling (the Turkish shooter excepted) because they get years of specialized training. And, of course, they find endless new ways to abuse those athletes’ bodies by using ever-more sophisticated ways to secretly dope them.
Half of them will be broken by the time they’re 30. I’m not at all surprised that this is what they have to resort to.
And the Olympics being for “amateurs” was a deliberate effort by the Olympic committee when the modern games were started to exclude the working classes from competing.
The whole “best of the best” is just branding. The Olympics needs serious reform.
Yeah, by “amateurs” they meant wealthy men who didn’t work and so had spare time to get good at sport. Really good Behind the Bastards episodes that touch on this actually.
Do you know why? Because rich people didn’t want to compete against the poor. If you couldn’t afford to compete, you didn’t. The rich can’t didn’t fancy meeting Gary the local bouncer in a boxing match.
Who is downvoting this? He literally said that he didn’t had a coach, yeah he was a soldier but it’s just them alone training (it was a mixed team competition)
I had to reread that line in the summary a couple times to get it right. At first I thought it said he and Brown “went down on a helicopter” which intrigued me on the mechanics of how that’d work.
Yeah, there’s this new idea they’re trying to push that Jamaicans aren’t black. Wait until they find out that her father had a white grandparent. I’m guessing they won’t agree that a multiracial child of a multiracial man is pretty fucking awesome. But they’re still both black.
They’re also pointing out she’s descended from slave owners (Hamilton?), so they’re making her less Black by the minute.

No, the right dude was also asked and said that while he flew with trump there was never an emergency incident.
The Times reported Thursday that the former president apparently confused Willie Brown with former California Gov. Jerry Brown, with whom he toured wildfire damage by helicopter in November 2018.
A spokesperson for Jerry Brown told the Times that “there was no emergency landing and no discussion of Kamala Harris.”
Tl;Dr Trump confused two different black politicians, and the “conversation” about Harris never happened (with either).
Also:
Over the phone Friday, Res said Trump liked to tell a joke about Holden on the helicopter — “you turned white,” he said. But she said it was Trump’s face that was white. “He was white as snow,” Holden added. “And he was scared shitless.”
