Strive to have a rule made because of you acting for justice.

When I was at university, the dorm had a specific rule about no spearguns in the dorms. You KNOW that exists for a reason, that is not just a general cya.

Slap McDonald’s and Coca-cola on everything, don’t actually kick the Russian aggressors out, but a silent remembrance of your friends and fellow athletes is absolutely a no go.

Fuck the IOC.
