The Olympics Are Really Messed Up!- An Introduction
from A Vague Knowledge of Everything
In this episode, Hope gives us a brief overview of how completely messed up the Olympics are (and always have been). For a very long time, the Olympics have ignored political violence in their host countries, caused massive destruction to the people living in spaces that were made into Olympic arenas, and just generally been very shitty to woman and people of color. Unfortunately this unsavory history goes ways beyond what we are seeing and hearing about today.
