Paris Olympics

I am shocked! Shocked!

New documents have revealed that Dr. Hamid G. Gharavi, the head of the three person panel at the Court of Arbitration for Sports that overturned a review, ruled against Chiles and forced her to give the bronze to Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu, has actually represented Romanian interests for years.

Ok, not that shocked.
 
I think we’re on the fifth appeal/reverse appeal for gymnastics. Now the US says CAS used the wrong email address so they didn’t get certain information in adequate time.

Get rid of countries in the Olympics. Have athletes compete under their astrological sign. 12 balanced teams; everybody has an allegiance; no patriot-nationalist poison.

And the orthodox loonies will think it's Satanic.
 
There’s 13 signs now, and the sign everyone thinks they are is actually off by one.

CHAOS REIGNS

They added Ophiuchus, right?

Fine, then birth months. We Aquarians will take the pool hit since we're at least 31/28ths better than the rest of you.

Bad news. There's a #14. It's Cetus. For a fraction of a second of arc.

I don’t think they officially added it, truth be told. But regardless, the sun’s location when we were born was roughly one sign off. It was all set up roughly 2000 years ago and the celestial grid wobbles around on a 26000 year cycle.

I get this is a semijoke, but nothing gets me in the feels more than watching how much it means to people to earn their first medal in a sport for a country. Or seeing their flag and hearing their anthem and fighting back tears.

The time in space-time we were accidentally born has as much meaning as the place in space-time we were accidentally born.

You must compete for your birth sign!!!!you can’t be making it up! We can’t have TRANSASTROLOGICALS in sports!!!!!
 
Well sure, yeah, if you look at it from the point of view of the athlete who actually accomplished the task and has to train long and hard to get there, with or without financial resources. But if you stop for a second to think about the hipsters at home on their couches, then we have to find a way to make it about them and how much better they are than the people actually doing things.
TBF, it takes a lot of work to be that edgy.
