Ban them for cheating.

Banning them for political reasons is the antithesis of the games. And war is politics.

OTOH, Germany and Japan were not invited to the 1948 games in London. Since then there have been constant little fights, and the Olympics carry on...

OTOH, I can't stand the Olympics anymore. American broadcast TV has made them horrible to watch, and trying to watch online is just one big spoiler. Sport only matters when it's live.

Its almost like the Olympics, Fifa, and all international sports competitions are just a for profit bribery business.

Strange.

You said what I was trying to but with more words. Ty

Punish individuals for a countries decisions? Why not let them compete under no country like they’ve done before?

If he was as talented as Kyrie he would've never been out of a job. You can say and do plenty of awful things if your worth outweighs the cost. This dude actually seemed to go and learn and at least try to pretend to get better and more informed, but he's a bench player at best. Your ability and worth dictates how much people will deal with your bullshit. So just be good at things and you can believe whatever nonsense you want 🙂

Guy is lifetime exempt. If he wants to tee it up any weekend on the PGA Tour, that’s his prerogative.

He’s lifetime exempt on the PGA Tour, no sponsors needed.

Spoiler Alert: The IOC will do nothing and every other country will also not actually do anything about it.

Well they were caught doping a 15 year old girl at the winter Olympics. They didn't even take away her medals. So basically they can do anything they want.

Exactly. There are limitations to what the President can do as the Commander in Chief, but sending troops to places within the restrictions of the defense budget or what Congress authorizes through what has lately been the AUMF (Authorization of Military Force). These things are not "War", however.

"war" on drugs

"war" on terrorism

"war" on poverty

What are the others?

IIRC war requires an act of congress but the president can send troops wherever he wants for whatever reason, as long as the reason isn't "war".

But the issue then have is the cars behind the wrecked cars would have to slow down, and unlike F1 or other race series, there's no sector flags, just full course cautions, so it's either slow the whole field down, or none at all.

And they're not enjoying that either lol. NASCAR fans will never be happy.

The drivers usually lose multiple pounds in sweat per race. Ain’t no antiperspirant that can handle that (I know you were joking)

It used to be a LOT easier to end under caution than it is now. The rules have changed multiple times to give them the most opportunities to end under green. But here’s the reason why a caution on the last lap ending it makes sense: during last year’s All-Star Race they did away with it and experimented with being able to line them back up no matter how last second the wreck was. Ryan Blaney was literally ten yards from the checkered flag when the caution came out. He crossed the line literally less than a second after the caution waved, and (understandably) had no clue it even happened and thought he won. He unfastened his window net to celebrate and prepare to exit the car…only to be told he had to restart again. So now you’ve got a car with an undone safety device who has to race more.

Would that exact situation happen every time? Probably not. But you can see how last last moment cautions lead to clusterfucks. There’s gotta be a cutoff somewhere and the last lap is a pretty generous place to put it.

If you want to get technical, the US has not been at "War" since WWII. They have been in numerous "Military conflicts" or "peacekeeping operations" or whatever you want to call them, but it's not "War".

The systematic cheating should be reason enough. I think the teams are still waiting for their figure skating medals.

We are in 6 according to the white house the last I checked.

10 days until he proves hes a Pilon and not worth it again. There's a reason he was dumped so fast.
