Everyone will be much safer that way. The games should not be permitted to proceed in a country as lawless and dangerous as the United States

They are hopelessly, corrupt.

Somehow I’d still not be comfortable travelling to USA. What if they suddenly decide to make it mandatory again? Not to speak about the threat of deportation to an almost concentration camp
