Fuck the IOC

IOC: Gesture supporting intersectionality of trans, black, and women athletes? Not a political statement.

Also IOC: Portrait of the country's founding father? POLITICAL STATEMENT! EXPLAIN YOURSELVES!

Context:
American athlete makes an X gesture when picking up her medal, showing her support for the trans-black-women's rights and the IOC, who had banned political statements, are all "this is fine, this isn't political". But when Chinese athletes wear a small portrait of Mao (who founded the PRC BTW), suddenly, this is TOO POLITICAL. Because patriotism is too political now, but trans-black-women's rights isn't a political statement.

Fuck off.

You know what this is? Anti-Asian racism. You're picking on the Asian countries because you're fucking racists.

Aaaaand, it's down to Spain vs Brazil

Me (on the 28th of July): At this point, I'm pretty sure the gold is going to be a toss-up between Brazil and Spain...

Today:

I'm starting to get pretty good at this sports prediction thing.

Currently, am leaning towards Spain winning gold, but we'll see. Brazil might surprise us.
