I may be watching the Olympic broadcast since this is in effect. Skipping the press conferences though.

Not sure I see this as a win. Now the US broadcasts aren't going to shut up about BLM.

Japan is awesome.

You Ford guys should try their cars. They are fast and fun just like their women. And they hold up over time.

American athletes are gonna be in for a shock when they try to pull the BLM pity card in front of a bunch of international athletes that have it worse in their countries and won’t have sympathy for them

You will not be welcome, nor should you be. Nippobaws are probably good allies, but that doesn't mean we should go and frick up their culture by living among them.




Japan is really 3rd world outside of the main areas and touristy spots. Like shite on the side of the road 3rd world. It's a really fricked up insular place. There are really good reasons the rest of Asia hates Japan.

I hope the US team virtue signals themselves from competing - that'll teach those evil racist Asians.

Continued anti-Japanese sentiment among the general population of other Asian countries is undoubtedly most common among countries victimized by Imperial Japan during World War II. This is perhaps understandable to some degree these days, we're primarily talking about people's parents or grandparents as direct victims.

That said, among cultures with a long history of involvement with the Japanese, particularly China and Korea both of which were also among the most severely victimized during World War II, you'll no doubt find a longer history of anti-Japanese sentiment resultant from a long history of conflict with Japan, where more hatred towards the Japanese is present.

Moreover, it is the Japanese Government's refusal to acknowledge said crimes that enrages the Koreas and Chinas. Imagine if Merkel claimed the Holocaust only had a few dozen victims and regularly visited the grave of Heinrich Himmler to pay respects.

The Olympics will now BAN any athlete who wears a BLM shirt, kneels during the national anthem or raises a fist to oppose racism. This sends the WRONG message about basic human rights & I urge the Olympic Committee to reverse this decision!

And the war crimes they committed put even the Nazis to shame. It is really a backwards place.

Minus the crime, the out of wedlock children, welfare, race baiting. I would rather live in a “3rd world” Japan without an arm than live inner city Baltimore.
