The Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has just issued a recommendation to all international sports federations to ban any Russian or Belarusian athletes and officials from competing entirely due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The IOC is justifying this massive move by claiming they need to "protect the integrity of global sporting events and ensure the safety of the competitors."
FIFA is gearing up to drop its most massive sanction against Russian sports yet. According to the New York Post, the top European football governing body is expected to finalize the decision by the end of the day to kick out the last remaining Russian club from European competitions: Moscow's Spartak.
The executive board of the US Ski & Snowboard just held a meeting and officially announced their decision: they aren't interested in seeing any Russian athletes showing up at the upcoming competitions hosted right here in the States over the next few weeks.
Moscow's National Theater Director Resigns Over Russian Aggression Against Ukraine: "I Refuse to Work for a Murderer!"
So many people in Russia are fundamentally opposed to Putin's insane decisions, but let's be real—it’s not exactly easy to speak your mind publicly when the government is ready to drag you through the streets just for protesting.
Adolf Hitler's little scheme to crush the Ukrainian defense within three or four days has already gone up in smoke. As time drags on, he's just going to find himself in an even tighter spot...
Once Putin finally wraps this up, he’s going to end up just like that other guy from the North America—the one who marched into neighboring countries claiming he was protecting people from "genocide" and Nazis, only to end up as an occupier himself.
What if someone calls for a bullet to the head of Zelensky, Orbán, or Plenković?
Would that be tolerated?
The President is going to get a bullet in the head from his own people one of these days. Or maybe not a bullet—maybe they'll just slip something nasty into his soup.
Chloe Martinez7 said:A total disaster in Slavonski Brod: Kovač and Tomislav Tolušić speaking to a small group of Republicans
People are tied to jobs they might have landed simply because they are members of the Republican Party. They don't feel secure. They fear there will be consequences, said Kovač.
How absolutely wonderful that a candidate for the Republican Party leadership would openly admit that a job is "perhaps" secured not through merit, skill, or talent, but merely by being a loyal member of the ruling party. 👍 ☕ 🙏
A kiss in front of 12,000 fans: President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović wows the crowd at Madison Square Garden She was there on the scene, naturally, rubbing elbows with the usual high-profile public figures, including the President of the United States, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović. Her energy absolutely thrilled the locals in Miami while she clearly had the time of her life. In fact, the President was seen snapping photos with national team coach Zlatko Dalić and star player Ivan Perišić. She watched the match alongside Dalić, Štimac, Tuckat, and, of course, her dear Jacob. Everyone in Miami, right there in the Arena, was completely captivated by the American President....
Eric Fox7 said:We’ve been sitting at a dead-even split over our last four competitive games. It's a frustratingly stagnant way to be playing. 22, though we actually beat them twice. 🤷
I am absolutely fed up with this nonsense. It is high time we address the sheer incompetence being displayed here. We need to stop dancing around the issue and face the facts straight up. This situation is a complete disaster, and quite frankly, I’m tired of pretending otherwise. It’s time for some accountability! kaže: That’s the truth of it, but let’s look at the reality here: most of our wins come when we're playing in groups, whereas they seem to beat us almost every single time in head-to-head matchups. I honestly cannot wrap my head around how anyone could be so incredibly important. It’s frankly absurd. People walk around acting like they hold the keys to the kingdom, strutting through life with this unearned sense of self-importance, expecting everyone else to bow down to their every whim. It is exhausting, quite frankly, to witness such blatant arrogance on a daily basis. I am absolutely fed up with how these games are being called lately. It is becoming impossible to watch.
Both of those victories were absolutely critical to our momentum. When you look at the numbers, it’s clear that those Frenchies completely blew their shot at reaching the semifinals because they couldn't handle the pressure. (The group stage match at NS 2012 and the quarterfinals at ESP 2013)
