The Olympics are nothing but a money making machine for a select few. As is most major organized sports, from FIFA to NCAA to NASCAR and all the rest. And greed corrupts.
I must admit to a certain amount of surprise at the outcome of the sex allocations – no, I’m not surprised at the conviction of Nassar, he deserved every year of his sentence and then some – I guess I’m somewhat surprised that all and I do mean all of the peripheral characters got off Scott-free.
Though I guess I shouldn’t be all that surprised – Jim Jordan managed to get elected to congress after allegations of the wrestling sexual cover-up at Ohio state became common knowledge.
Evidently, all you have to do is deny any first-hand knowledge of sexual misconduct, especially if you’re a republican, and you’re home free.
I just hope the people who “Excused” Nasser’s actions are investigated to see if maybe they excused him because they were also Guilty of similar crimes.
For some, females are to be used, tolerated, and sometimes you have to pay them off. The power they have is the power men let them have. Go against the male agenda and they find out how quick and brutal they are put in their “place”. Controlling their reproductive rights and forcing them to be paid less for equal work is part of this subjugation. It starts when they are young with body shaming and low expectations. Hope it all changes.

Especially the FBI Agents.

They need to utilize a modified Lysistrata gambit—no tumbling until these guys cave and clean up THEIR act.
