Pipe down Bach. Everyone can see that the IOC has fully transformed into an Uber-"Progressive" globalist circus, shoving its radical agenda down everyone's throats while trampling over everything the Olympics was supposed to stand for - actual sport.
Their obsession with allowing biological MEN to compete in women's sports is nothing short of an assault on fairness and common sense, robbing female athletes of the opportunities they've worked their entire lives for.
And we won't even get started on the blasphemous disaster that was the Paris opening ceremony - a grotesque display of decay disguised as "queer art."
Now, with this bloke's "New World Order" declaration ahead of LA, they aren't even pretending anymore! This isn't about sports; it's about pushing a GLOBALIST agenda, reshaping the world to fit their dystopian vision. Time to reject this nonsense.

The 71-year-old German lawyer and 1976 Olympic gold medalist in fencing leaves office in June.
Good riddance to bad garbage.

Good riddance to bad garbage.
And some. He was a nasty piece of work. Whoever is next will have to remove his unpleasant stench from the organisation.

I couldn't agree more!

The US President can offer cheer leading and the power of the office in support, but the USGovt doesn't provide financial support for this stuff. It is up to the corporate/individual sponsors, local city and state to fund everything.
The way the collegiate sports system supports the US Olympic team is in providing events, venues, and training. Most collegiate sports are funded by the school system which can be a state govt. The federal govt doesn't fund sports scholarships for college athletes.
The US isn't like Russia or China where the centralized govt effectively pays people to be athletes. Some other countries do have programs, often through military service to pay elite level athletes to train for their sport. It think Germany works this way for some sports and it is likely how most Russian athletes do it as well, but not all.
YeahRight
Bach and the IOC are only concerned with "Show me the money." That and making sure men can take over women's sports

Some of his points are valid,such as free-to-air viewing for all.
That's how many children from impoverished countries and backgrounds were inspired to become the best athletes in the world.
However, holding events in one location is outdated and unsustainable.

Great Olympic LA news, another catalyst for LA to recover from horrible fires, that spread due to Govt. mismanagement, no water in reservoirs or fire hydrants
Gov. Gavin Newscum will try to smooth talk no doubt and not take any responsibility for his failed leadership!

LA hates Trump. Whatever he says is of no consequence.
The LA '84 Olympics made a profit. '28 will likely be the same. The federal government can just butt out.

The IOC is, with FIFA, one of the most corrupt organizations on Earth, so I understand why they get along well with Trump

Given him a big enough bribe, and sure, Trump will support the Olympic Games. I would expect nothing less from a convicted felon.

Mismanagement is a perception. As much as I don't like lots of the govt choices in California, I don't think the state is mismanaged.
As for low reservoirs, that's happening everywhere in the western USA which has been under a drought for 20+ yrs. It isn't mismanagement. It is climate change tied with over population. Too many needs for too little water.
Much of the southwestern US has been a desert and it is reverting to that as water priorities change from landscaping/grass to drinking and food production by necessity.
There's a like down the middle of the US where on the west side of that line, there is a serious drought and on the eastern side, it is much better. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?conus has a clear map. Western SD, Nebraska, then down through the center of Kansas, OK, and TX (just east of Austin and San Antonia, which are always in drought). 50 miles east of Austin if beautiful pasture country.

Govt mismanagement is opening up the WRONG reservoir
‘Ridiculous blunder’: Trump wades into California’s water wars – and strikes some of his strongest supporters - Billions of gallons of irrigation water were wasted under Trump’s orders in what now appears to be a political stunt
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/11/california-water-trump
That water would never have reached the Los Angeles fire (different water basins). It's reservoir water that the farmers need during the dry days of summer. Trump just wasted the farmers' water
