Here i thought i couldn’t hate Olympics more and 2024 again proves to me that there’s no floor for depravity in discourse or a limit to my hate-reservoir.
Even Holland who is usually level headed comes into the Olympics like “here’s a child rapist to represent us, we gotta find him special accommodations since there are kids in the village and like we said, our guy raped a child” but don’t you dare criticize us!
The Netherlands* but otherwise yes, absolutely. His inclusion is pretty ridiculous. I understand and agree with not outright banning people who have been convicted of crimes, but surely the line should come before child rape. It’s easily one of the most heinous and unforgivable things a human can do.
I hope you guys are making a stink to your government about it, cause as a Canadian watching the Olympics, it does reflect poorly on your whole country
Damn right it does. I honestly don’t know what they were thinking.
Even if you accept that he’s “served his time” (which is debatable),and he may be a great athlete, it just isn’t a good look to have a convicted child rapist/molester representing you on the biggest sports event in the world.

And every single Dutch person thinks it’s fucking absurd
