The ones who produce wars are the ones who keep the Olympic spirit dead.
The Olympic “remains” are used by the advertisment companies to spread their wealth.
50mins without a reference into alive war criminals and active wars, backed by certain countries which produce weapons, is a waste of time.

What part of the “Olympic Spirit” should I tap into? The exploitation of the cities and their workers that devastate the economies for an event most of its citizens will never afford and be excluded from? The millions of residents that are displaced by the construction and the visitors taking over their residences? Only the Rich see anything “noble” about the Olympics, to the rest of us the Olympics represent only suffering.

Wow, this interview was absolutely inspiring! As a psychologist, it’s incredible to see how Allison Felix not only excels in her athletic career but also uses her platform to drive significant change in areas like maternal rights and gender equality. Her courage to challenge big names like Nike and her dedication to supporting athletes and mothers is truly commendable. This video has given me the motivation to start my own YouTube channel focused on psychology, where I aim to educate and support people in navigating their mental health. Let’s keep pushing forward and make a difference together! 🌟
