One of the most self serving organizations in history. About time someone put them through an X-Ray machine.
It's been known for ages though. Why would we expect anyone to care now?
I say we make them all do randori with Travis Stevens
Putting them through an X-ray would likely reveal absence of several important organs such as the spine or the testicles. :)
Lex-Ray machine
There is a reason huge sports organizations like FIFA and the IOC are based in Switzerland. It’s easier to hide their wrongdoings.
Mafia rules
The reason is that Switzerland is a functional, neutral state. They could do all the things they do in America as well. It isn't Swiss law that primarily governs CZcams's copyright mechanism. Look to Washington DC and Brussels for that.
@@d4n4nable Brussels and Washington DC don't govern youtube, advertisers do. The reason youtube is the shithole it is today is because it got threatened with lawsuits by copyright owners, advertisers, and parents once it started to become more mainstream. People suing and whining/threatening to boycott brands is why youtube became shit.
@@alicedoors4826 it’s because of Washington they can sue In The first place
@@alicedoors4826 It can only be threatened with IP lawsuits because of IP laws. Not Swiss laws, but American and European laws.
I’d like to see the Olympics held in Athens every 4 years. Cut out the gross extravagance and make it about the spirit of competition again.
Agree 100%
That would be great
Make Greece bankrupt again!
If its not in a roman coliseum built to the size larger than The Superdome I'm not interested
making money doesnt work like that though, it hasnt been about the "sport" for years ;)
I am 100% with you on this one Lex. Now I will keep my fingers crossed that UT will not block you as I love your channel! Keep ‘‘em coming!
Lex I am so glad I found you. I wish so many more had open minds and open hearts. You are so great at what you do and your guests you bring on.
Absolutely love Lex and his conviction towards his goals and morals! Hugely inspirational words, I hope someone with open ears who can do something about this will make some change!
This is a nothing burger compared to another FBI peado cover up of your most decorated Olympic athletes, I know lex isn't a journalist but should be mentioned if going to talk about Olympics this week, almost looks like your using the word Olympic for clicks?
Lol why would anything change now? They've been openly corrupt for decades
Lex not holding back on big issues.
Nor should he
@Ken Clarke yea he still thinks elon and bill gates are good people........ whatever helps him sleep at night......
As a former Olympian - I think this is spectacular. Thank You Lex, well done.
You know it’s serious when he doesn’t have a suit on….
Its the new DLC
A small programming error in the simulation.
No suit = It's gonna get nasty.
Totally agree! Thank you Lex for bringing this to the surface.
IOC and FIFA are the same monster. Props to you Lex for this!
Lex, thank you for your courage of your convictions.
It breaks my heart to see stuff like this happening. Thank you Lex for trying and still maintaining your intentions of love and humility when it's so easy to fall into anger and resentment.
Thank you for this. Every time I watch your channel I learn something new.
Thank you for standing up!
It was almost impossible to watch any Oly weightlifting this year and it’s the only real time that the sport has an opportunity to show it’s amazing athletes - everything on TV this year was also highlights based whereas we used to be able to sit down and watch the sessions in full. I have no idea why they would want to dilute the coverage unless it’s for personal gain/financial reasons. Alternatively it takes a massive amount of incompetence to mess up a product that is naturally already amazing.
Cant rig it for big sponsors , they want no one to be able to break down footage and figure out it was rigged . Less of a chance if no one can watch . They probably just don’t drug test certain ones as well
This makes me respect Lex 100 times more. I wish I grow up to be like him.
The world needs Lex Friedman without a doubt.
Thank you Lex that needed to be said years ago Thank You!!!
And yet another reason why I don’t watch the Olympics.
It's hard to find a way to watch it even if you wanted to. The youtube paid subscription coverage was a joke. There was no way of going back and watching any of the events you might have missed. Hope this is fixed before the next one of
I admire your courage to speak out in this hard times.
Corrupt to the core, always has been, like Fifa...✌
Does FIFA back Real Madrid in these corrupt ways that have been mentioned?
An important message that they need to hear. And it was delivered perfectly too…simple and clean. Thank you Lex for your work ❤️ Your channel expands my realm of knowledge and that brings pure joy.
Lex is the best :)
Thank you for speaking up Lex.
Thanks for bringing this to the world attention. How sad.
Smash those corrupt hyenas Lex! You're an inspiration.
I, too, find the prospect of bestiality with unscrupulous carnivores to be inspiring.
Thanks for being our voice Lex.
Thanks for the information. You you are appreciated.
thank you for this Lex .. appreciate it very much ..
Screw the IOC we need a NEW organization. Go LEX!
Go Lex!!!! As ever you are spot on 👍❤️❤️❤️
In 2012 my wife and I were awarded a contract to officially translate Olympic related news from English to French for press releases and the like. We would be sent transcripts to our home in France at all hours of the day and potentially night and we would have a very short window of time to send it back. The rates of pay were very low but it was a great opportunity to be involved. Anyway we mentioned it to our local town newspaper and they printed a story about the fact that the internet allowed a couple to play a small part in the Olympics despite being in rural France. Long story short the sh*t hit the fan, we were removed from the job before even starting and told we were lucky not to be sued. It turns out you can't tell anyone in the public domain you work for the Olympics, you can't use the logo anywhere, can't list the Olympics as a client etc. Why is that? We were told in no uncertain terms that big companies pay big money to be associated with the Olympics and so nobody who hadn't paid can be allowed to make mention of any connection.
Keep the good fight!
Any whistleblowers out there, now is the time! The spotlight is coming for the IOC just like it came for FIFA.
Doesn't NBC hold much of the broadcast rights to the Olympics? Or is their agreement only for live broadcast and not archived streaming?
love the post Lex!
Beautifully stated Sir.
Thank you Lex for your strength and beautiful spirit.
Thank you for your love.
Man, I didn't know that. The inspiration I have drawn on over the years from Olympiads is immeasurable. Every one is a story of personal triumph and sacrifice. I still watch the remarkable story of Uganda athlete John Akii Bua from time to time, but there are so many more. To deny the aspiring public access to the triumphs and tragedies is abhorrent.
thank you
Excellent content
Love you Lex. You’re a great man and I aspire to have your success and conviction to speak your mind for what’s right even if it’s not popular.
Lex, thank you for taking a stand on this.
I love hearing just say what needs to be said.
I can't think of ANY organization that isn't corrupt. What a world....
Get em' Lex.
Even just wanting to watch a few specific sports during the ACTUAL Olympics, it was near impossible to find most of the events available for replay (such as weightlifting and skating, or even gymnastics). Even videos that WERE available were only viewable days later and for a limited time.
Lex thank you for being you. I think you fight the good fight
Lex thank you for fighting the good fight. Keep it up
I’m glad someone else noticed it too geez!!!!
Absolutely
Dang! Well done Lex!
ty
Lex, love you man. One Russian to another, keep up the good fight 💪
Get 'em, Lex! Keep up the rgeat work!
I'm disgusted by censorship and respect authenticity and ownership...
Gold medal for lex!!
Lex is really the leader the free world needs!
Not for a million? What happened to “Just follow the money?
GET EM!
Thanks Lex
That's so wrong... What can we do to help?
Now then there’s a thing to see, an honest man.
It seems that all large and long-lasting institution is heavily corrupt.
Well said
That's quite the library.
At this point it's obvious we need to decentralize everything.
Nothing is as corrupt as the Olympic Games. Have not watched in at least 20 years.
I didn't knew that those videos are not available on the internet. I was wondering why I have not seen anything related to the Olympics Games in my endless hours on this platform.
I've been done with the Olympics for the last several events. Which is sad because I used to live in Vancouver and the 2010 Olympics where an amazing experience. Sadly, politics and greed has tainted my view of this even and for that reason I spent exactly zero time watching the most recent summer games. I now live in Calgary, where myself and the rest of the City voted to decline the invitation to bid on the next winter games - the IOC was practically begging the city to bid but the tax payers were not having any of it!
I quit watching the Olympics many years ago when it became more important to show the interviewers and their opinions along with an endless amount of advertisements instead of getting to see the Olympians perform. They were good in the 1970's when they would broadcast them all day long but ever since then, big corporations that taken control of this world and all the various kinds of entertainment.
💞🙏 that’s disheartening..
Hear, hear!
This is excellent sir. Google's corporate policies must be analyzed and explained by example.
+ the original Olympic games are also not available for some reason
☺🙏
bless you brother
we should do our own defi olympics.
Sick library, bro
Any goodness left in the Olympic games rotted away years ago. I didn't watch any of it, and won't be watching the next one.
That was amazing Lex
Fantastic vid Lex…
We have live in a corrupt world. Wake up ppl.
I don't understand why they do this. Not even for money. Makes no sense to me. What is there to gain to censor their own product?
What they've done is disgusting
Didn't watch a second of the Olympics this year. And rolled my eyes to people who did.. They seemed to understand why too..
...why? It’s the worlds greatest athletes. Why feel superior to those who watch it?
Go get em Lex!
Respect
You freaking Rock !!!!
On noooooooooooooooooooo, the Olympic Committee is corrupted too? I'm shocked.
Preach big dawg 💪💪
I donated my time in college for an esports like organization similar to the IOC. This new org was very corrupt and implementing very unnecessary processes and procedures in return for data sent back to the “home land”
Which major institutions or organizations are not corrupt at this point?
I give this a 10 even though the Russian judges will probably say its a 6.
Yeah the IOC is wack.
Lex - well said. I have been saying this for many years. And the IOC is not the only sporting organisation like this.
More eyes need to see it.
Get at them, Lex
Lex is a man of the people!
The lack of access will make them irrelevant eventually
