cryborg My co-workers and I cheered on the special olympics torch run in my little town yesterday. It was emotional. 😁

Why not?

Greed.

'cause the leading party wants it desperately so that they'll win the autumn election with ppl praising them just to have held the Games. Also because ppl outside Japan just want to be entertained. NBC says Tokyo2020 will bring them largest Games profit ever. StopTokyoOlympic

FUCKING MONEY!

Not as if athletes don't have a choice whether or not to take such epic risks with their health and well-being. I'd say CancelTheOlympics

Money fo those that run the Olympics...as always.

Because enough is enough

Because the athletes have worked and waited for it.

Dollar dollar bills y'all

Because it won't.

💵. or 💴

$$$

💰

Greed.

$$$$$$$$

We in Japan also wonder this 😓

Money

Because it will be worth it.

10,000 Volunteers Quit Tokyo Olympic GamesAround 10,000 volunteers have quit the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in recent weeks amid rising concerns over holding the games during a pandemic with less than 3% of Japan’s population vaccinated. What do you think? Jerry Flores did comprehensive system analyzing and the analytics told him violence was the answer. Pretty shitty of them not to donate their unpaid time to help make sure some rich media folks and assorted IOC grifters get even richer. Maybe, just maybe, we can get some full-on seppuku here
