“Ordinary fascism.” Irina Viner – on the neutral status of Russians at the Olympics
For some reason, someone thinks athletes should suck. The Olympic movement is making a lot of money, but where is it? It turns out a group has enslaved the athletes, they watch the show, smoke cigars, then take the money for themselves.
