Bro no joke when watching the Olympics there were Americans mad that the Chinese were winning swimming and guys were on about "that country putting on a display of power for their country while their people are starving". Shit I seen I was wondering what century I'm in
My mom made the comment China forces their people to become athletes against their will. In my head, I thought "Oh as opposed to the US who has kids subject themselves to traumatic brain injuries every week or else they don't get to go to college and lose their scholarships?"
Yeah people be saying that but theres enormous push back on college athletes getting paid despite the crazy revenue the sports brings in.
And they speak of athletes from young age being selected as candidates for certain sports from youth like its the rapture. It gets comical
It’s pretty funny because almost every high level professional who’s been training since childhood (e.g. art, music, academics, sports) will face some abuse from their mentors. Maybe with the exception of skateboarders and athletes who aren’t part of a dynasty.
A colleague of mine said the same thing when he heard I was going to China, "aren't they all starving over there". I was so taken aback by the stupidity of what he said that I couldn't really come back with a snappy reply, but all I could think was, how out of date is your racist propaganda? That's what is truly incredible about the propaganda in the west, some people are literally still informing themselves on stuff they heard 50 years ago.

Mandem acting blind towards the level of depravity that happened in the womens gymanstics team
