1. What else can be expected from an organization which was run an open fascist for 20 years.

2. Ya know,

I saw this this morning on my phone as I was out feeding the horses. I just wanted to sit down and cry.

Really, I always expect the best from everyone knowing very well I will be disappointed over and over again.

To me this should be so outrageous, should have been before too but sadly was not, that our country just says no.

I am so fucking disgusted with this country, with the bigots who just will not open their minds or their hearts one tiny bit to at least let people live their own lives and with leadership who will NEVER do anything to further the basic tenet of our country, that we are all equal.

I am just fucking disgusted with all of this. How little people wish to learn, how little they wish to understand, how much they love holding themselves above others when they are the one's who will not even try to be above their most base instincts. Sick fucking people. There are more everyday when there are not leaders speaking to the problems of bigotry.

4. The IOC gets a new president next month.

Hopefully they will elect someone with a backbone to stand up to Putin and Russia.

5. The history of the IOC is just a bunch of corruption and service to hate mongering governments

A good look at their actions before and during the 36 Berlin games is highly educational. They officially claimed prior to Berlin that the Nazis did not discriminate against Jews.
Interestingly the Nazis officially announced they would not enforce their anti homosexuality laws upon participants and visitors of the games.
