Just thought more attention should have been put on it, especially the question of who knew what and when, and also the absurdity of ScoMo having to be told by his wife that sexual assault was wrong.

Like Shell said, Covid's been around for a while, whereas this is something new.

Yeah except that isn't exactly what was said. I watched the full press conference earlier.

As for the victim blaming part - he specifically said "not her fault". That's the opposite of blaming her.

The actual department she worked for, absolutely, they're the ones who kept it quiet.

Now come on, if you're going to complain about synchronised swimming at the Olympics then at least complain properly...

For 3 consecutive Olympics (1984, 88 & 92) they actually held an event for 'Solo Synchronized Swimming'

Yeah um, no idea how that really worked

For a full list of discontinued Olympic Sports such as tug-o-war, gymnasts tumbling, dueling pistols and the swimming obstacle course, check out

I'd welcome back the tug-o-war and duelling pistols over half the guff that's in there now.

The chair ump do not make calls, unless there is something to call/overrule
