-DLC- 71,457 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Well, is it too soon to "hope" this goes as planned? Hope I don't jinx things by putting this thread up. At least the fashion police can get a head start on things. This would NEVER happen in Japan. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta wave that flag where we're so dominant, eh?! OMG Does this mean we can't consume fish from Pacific in few years? Good bye to sushi? I'm surprised that Japanese people are letting this incompetent government stay in power so long. There was one regime change since WWII and it was for a very brief 2 year span. We in the Western countries love to criticize China and it's one party dictatorship but Japan basically has same $hit going as China, only that Japanese people are brainwashed so deeply that they don't even realize they have the power and the right to change the government. Well, obviously the situation is probably far better in Japan than China but it's shocking to know that Japan has basically ever had only one party to govern the country.

Ghostsof1915 38,710 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Wild thought, just push everything back. 2020 Summer Games in 2024. 2026 Winter Olympics. Give us time to get the garbage behind us. We hope. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Long story short I wouldn't mind seeing his Olympic dream crushed Edited April 16 by drummer4now 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Long story short I wouldn't mind seeing his Olympic dream crushed I'm just thinking of the athletes health. And the crowds if any. I'm surprised usually rugby players are quality people. Like the joke from a Welsh Rugby player. Rugby players are gentlemen playing a hooligans game. Football (Soccer players) are hooligans playing a gentleman's game. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am guessing these are for closing ceremonies. I guess it just shows how different people’s taste are - I looked at the US unis and thought what athlete is going to want to wear a Dr. Evil yacht club uniform?

Lancaster 4,991 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 My wife and I were initially planning to go to PyeongChang for 2018... but my then twins had other plans. We thought it will still be fine, since we can still go to 2020 Tokyo.... but coronavirus. Definite no to Beijing. Probably no to Paris. I guess I won't be attending the Olympics in person until hopefully it comes back to town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil_314 3,012 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Great, now I just have to head down to my local vintage clothing store, get a jean jacket, paint a maple leaf on it and I can sneak in the team. Am I doing it right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
