Tokyo Olympic torch relay to start at J-Village in Fukushima

This is disgusting & a vulgar use of 3/11 for the 2020 Olympics, mori & his gang have no morals what so ever!

How about starting the torch relay from the new home of the LAST 3/11 refugee to high light everyone ACTUALLY being taken care of!!

Instead we get this insincere BS & once again 2020 Olympics being promoted on the backs of disaster victims, FOR SHAME!!

How about starting the torch relay from the new home of the LAST 3/11 refugee to high light everyone ACTUALLY being taken care of!!

Now that would be golden!

Instead it'll be 9 years later with so little done and where did all the money go every step of the way

HHigh theatre knowing you were used to get the Olympics

Consolation price for the money diverted to the Olympics.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

As usual, I agree with GW wholeheartedly on this one- this is adding insult to injury.

I really do not get this, it's like a bully making you punch yourself in the head. Then claiming you did it? And then taking your lunch money.

I picture seating set aside for refugees, sponsored by TEPCO.

"It is important to help showcase the reconstruction to people in Japan and abroad. But I hope this will be some support to the people, who struggled so hard, to find new hope," Mori said.'

I guess it's a lot less important to showcase that fact that 50,000 are still in shelters, and that the Olympics could have paid for reconstruction a few dozen times over.

I tend to be a people person and like everyone but whenever I see Yoshiro Mori's name or comment in an article, I can't help but to cringe.

Anyway, I hope they Don't claim it's been burning since the 1964 Tokyo Olympics because the company responsible for keeping it burning accidentally let it go out for a Week before noticing.
