It's about coming together to be a part of something that brings the world closer as a gesture of goodwill and faith in humanity you knuckledragging mouth breathers.

 

[Comrade Khan]

i mean you could say that

 

[Barry Poppins]

I also laugh at those who demand the Olympics be apolitical when the entire committee has been a political entity for over a century.

 

[Comrade Khan]

you could also say its the exploitation of amateur athletes for sponsors to line their pockets to distract the masses. but im a fucking cynic

 

[Comrade Khan]

also both things can be true

No you're all that in a weaved basket.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Like the Olympics have been politicized to death several times. 1904, 1932, 1960, 1968, 1980, 2016, 2018... C'mon.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Fuck even the 1972 Munich games.

 

[Comrade Khan]

for sure. even now with covid. they probably shouldnt be happening at all one might argue

 

[Barry Poppins]

Maybe.

 

[Comrade Khan]

so itll def be seen as political

 

[Comrade Khan]

considering more than half the country didnt want it and cases and death have ramped up.

 

[Comrade Khan]

happy for your boy though (and the athletes themselves)

 

[Barry Poppins]

I just had the funniest thought.
