    Wow.

    I don't understand why the IOC says the Olympics can't happen next summer because the Winter Olympics are already scheduled.

    Yeah, this is my beef with it too. In the past both olympics happened in same year. Olympics isn’t known for social distance. I feel bad for Japan and one of the biggest sponsors Toyota pulled out.

    They aren't allowing fans in the Olympic village. Instead of being a huge money maker for Japan and the host cities it will probably end up costing them so much money because the country, its cities and businesses... basically in the years leading up to it all infrastructure builds up for the Olympics knowing that the tourism that comes with the Olympics will bring in billions of dollars to pay off the investment but not this time. Fucking sucks.

    Crazy that a cancellation is still on the table. They should have just postponed it another year a long time ago.

    Well, yes, Japan PM talked about it year ago. Exactly about how China and WHO fucked Japan. He called them Chinese health organization or smth like that.

    So weird to hear a certain player is from somewhere in the US. Even though they're on another countries team. I know, Becky Hammon played on the Russian team.

    On a side note, these people are easily the most polite/nice people I’ve ever been around…….BUT they all laugh at me when I try to speak Japanese.

    It was reported on the news yesterday (not sure if it was the Tokyo mayor or head of the Japanese committee) that cancellation is still on the table, with the rising number of positives in the Olympic Village.

    Didn't the IOC president just say like a week ago that athletes are at zero risk in the Olympic Village? He's well qualified for a future career with the CDC or WHO.
