As long as it's not held in the middle east or wherever it's at now. I don't really understand people's surprise with these rules they've put into effect. Their culture doesn't tolerate shit like that.

Which is why this shit shouldn't take place in places like that? Why support bigots and terrorists?

Bro it's the world Olympics, they don't have to accept all of the west's weird wokeness if they don't want to. A committee elected that location, it's not like somebody fucked up when they put it there.

Uhm, I'm not sure I'd say slavery, arresting people for showing their hair or being gay or being raped, and active racism, quite works with your "wokeness" claim.
Unless you are suggesting it's totally okay to detain, assault and alienate someone based on immutable qualities they've possessed since birth, like being female or white(or any other ethnic group from outside qatar).

It's being held in the Upper West next time, so should be much better.
