It's quite heartbreaking that nobody is saying anything about the fact that the athletes are sponsoring themselves to this event. Funny enough, when they win medals and come back, they will be hosted to a "presidential dinner" and PMB's media house will make it look like it's his victory. We have a sports minister that's always forming agile and up to date and yet his behaviour towards this Olympics is very disappointing. If it is to wear beret and meet with some cult boys in the name of dialogue with militants, he will carry first. This is the first time since I was born that the government is nonchalant about an even as big as olympics. 8 Likes |
