Cung Le is one of my favorite MMA fighters. He’s Vietnamese. We should send him to the Olympics.

Haa Is it still an interesting topic now? Why always prefer to chain Olympic with politics. Let the atheletes have their time to break records than ask them to say political words! If you are interested in politics, just do your best to be a politician. But for Olympic, just have fun from the competition. Enough. Again the politics with sports! Haa

Is it still an interesting topic now?

Why always prefer to chain Olympic with politics.

Let the atheletes have their time to break records than ask them to say political words!

If you are interested in politics, just do your best to be a politician. But for Olympic, just have fun from the competition. Enough.

"Olympic-Politics-in-Full-Scale" is the gain or loss or our human society? I started to wonder. Maybe it is a good idea to stop Olympic Games since it is so politically contaminated.

In those countries with a complicated past of conflict and brutality, like Vietnam, like Guatemala, where a strategy of fear was extreme, we often find lack of support of older people... Better activists than pasive actors... ;) Renata It is interesting to analyze the background of countries where protests are “few and far between”.
