watching that horrified me esp when he came back with a mask and it came out he was purposefully not telling people

just what the fuck even my trashy coworkers know to stay home when sick. i get it's the motherfucking olympics but come the fuck on. i wonder if he'll be able to compete again at that level.

He should be banned from competition for concealing his disease, but that probably won't happen. Putting that sort of strain on himself while he's suffering from covid, though? Athletic career is probably over.

He should be banned, fined, and have any previous awards revoked. This should be the death of his career and the salting of his record.

One of Michael Jordan’s most celebrated moments is when he got the flu, showed up to the NBA finals, and won. It seems like American society will consider this an epic win instead of a selfish move
