A farce called "Torch Relay"

The "Torch Relay" campaign for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, which is one year behind, began at J-Village in Fukushima Prefecture.。I started in Fukushima prefecture、The former Abe administration, which advocated the "Reconstruction Olympics,"、This is to appeal to the inside and outside that the influence of the nuclear power plant is all Under Control (actually, even after 10 years.、It does not stand even the prospect of taking out the debris, but)。

I watched the video of the "Torch Relay" event in Fukushima Prefecture on the Internet.。The beginning is a huge bus of Coca-Cola Company。Behind them, the buses of sponsor companies line up one after another.、Employees or volunteers dressed in red waving their hands along the road and running around、Distribute PET bottles to people who line up and applaud。I don't know where the essential runners are。What on earth is this "mere stupid fuss"?。Why this happens。Why aren't NHK and other major media outlets reporting this as it is?。

There is only one reason。The Olympics and Paralympics are not for athletes and sports lovers、Not at all for "proof of overcoming corona"、Because it's all in the interests of sponsors and IOC officials.。More than half of the people question or oppose the current Olympics、While some countries have withdrawn from participating in the event under Corona as it does not benefit the health of the athletes.、With the departure of the "Torch Relay," which can be said to be a push、This is the first event of a sponsor company。Awareness of sponsor companies that "at least want to pay for advertising expenses"、The true intention of the IOC, who wants to get a huge broadcasting rights fee, is clearly revealed.。

Drop the beautiful sound of "the torch" on the ground、This ugly event that tramples even more double and triple、It can be said that it is an act of desecrating sports as much as possible.。The IOC will take the lead in waving the flag、It is nothing but the philosophical suicide of the IOC itself。Oh dear、You probably realize that such a philosophy has no meaning other than the advertising effect.。The biggest victims are the players。Organizing Committee and Sponsors、Between the people、I think I'm in a situation where I can hardly say what I really mean。The word "torch" is appropriate for athletes。Don't let the money dead。Not a "torch relay"、At best, it should be called something like "Olympic sponsorship relay"。Under such circumstances、How to enjoy the Tokyo Olympics、I have no choice but to throw my brain into muddy water。
