Calls mounting for JOC chief Takeda to resign amid scandal

it is the role of Dentsu which has to be reviewed. They monopolise in a very unhealthy way relations with all sports federations , controling bid committees, organising committees, marketing, sponsorships, management, endorsements, licensing, franchising, investments, tv rights, media in Japan. And They do so from a power position but with very little real expertise. They use muscles, not brains. It was Dentsu advising Tanaka San to make the payment knowing full well that Mr Han’s company was an empty box

Dentsu is evil, I agree. Perhaps it is time to put a committee of retired athletes in charge of the JOC.

I'd rather see actual factual charges rather than just innuendo

Well, isn’t that sweet! They want him to resign. How about some criminal charges for bribery and fraud? I think that would be more appropriate, don’t you?

Such stupid accusations.

What did Japan get out of it?

The opportunity to spend billions of tax payers dollars to host the Olympics? A price which keeps going up every 4 years.

Exactly right, Do the bustle. Arrest this guy. Put him in a substitute prison. And cancel the 2020 Olympics.

Hmmm...

All I ask as a taxpayer, is this case gets examined, and if he has acted illegally with public money then kick his ass.

Don't let him resign and walk away free from any illegal activities.
