Anyone seen this kind of advertising at any other ground where they've got 2/3 electronic hoardings on the main stand? I can imagine how annoying/distracting it must be if you're sat opposite!
Yes I agree with your arguments wholeheartedly it's just that the IOC whilst trying not to be political always appear to make more of a mess of the situation. To be hoped that there are no drug issues at these games.
The international Paralympic committee are allowing Russia and Belarus to compete as neutral athletes! I can understand that most athletes are probably apolitical but it's a bit like the IOC making exceptions to the no drugs ruling!
