2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics
 
There is discussion on whether it will be cancelled or postponed

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...id-19-concerns




Gov DeSantis has said Florida can do it, if Japan cancels

Marshall Bennett 01-28-2021 01:21 PM

Wonder if male women will be allowed to compete in women events? :)

I do find it interesting that most Olympics take 6 years to plan and build and governor DeSantis feels they can do it in 6 months.

Japan gas decided no overseas spectators. Can they make enough money just on television rights?

Marshall Bennett 03-21-2021 12:42 PM

Wonder how many countries won't participate due to covid? If they're very many and with no spectators it would seem pretty dumb to host it in Japan.

davew 03-21-2021 04:07 PM

They did not say 'no spectators', just none from overseas. I suppose that will leave more seats for people in Japan, competing athletes and coachs.

Bummer for top surfer prospect, I didn't even know it was an event.

The timing is absolutely criminal....Still dealing with this scamdemic nonsense after already postponing for over a year?

I think it is all based on testosterone levels. I wonder how taking the female hormones they do effect that? Can they just take an extra dose and it will temporarily get them in range when they had used high levels of testosterone to build the strength, speed and endurance needed to compete? How anyone thinks this is fair is beyond me. I think a transgender still has all their original equipment. They become a transsexual when things are added and removed. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Spectators Banned---But Not For Jill Biden

They should just cancel the games entirely....much better fear-porn optics.

So are ticket holders to be reimbursed?

What about airline tickets and hotel reservations?

PhantomOnTour 07-23-2021 08:27 AM

Let the games begin !!
 
I love The Parade Of Nations…

Who knew that Kiribati is the only country that is in all four hemispheres?

Marshall Bennett 07-23-2021 12:10 PM

Television viewers will still enjoy the competition, but for Japan the entire event will be an embarrassment.
* Japan has never been a nation that surrendered easily.
