@Nic111392 If he has a good season and is healthy this year, he is expected to seek a contract of $400 Million.
So I understand the dilemma

@tsums91 @JeffDLowe Ya a Ohtani and Japan vs US Avengers team in the Gold Medal Game in Dodger stadium would be irrelevant

@ChowPuppy65533 @UnderdogMLB @colin_beazley Most Combined Olympic Gold Medals:
🇺🇸:1,231
Nations 2, 3 and 4 combined: 1,129

Olympics is the pinnacle of worldwide sports. That is USA domination

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@LevAkabas Do they have this for summer Olympics? I know France got a decent bump but was wondering if it has a similar impact.

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@jaxsonisking @espn They never represented Team USA at the Olympics.

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia All I was trying to do was inform you of the difference. I did

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia Because he told the IOC he was going to use it during his run. He was transparent in this whole process.

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia The IOC literally said he could show the helmet before his run and immediately after his run. So yes according to the IOC that is the difference.

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia The men haven’t played yet but I guess we will see if he wears it today. He shouldn’t be allowed to.

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia No the difference is that one would be in the “safe zone” that was created by other athletes and the other is after the performance

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia What are the other cases? The only athlete I saw that violated the “safe zone” (Podium and Field of play) was the athlete who had the russian flag on the back of their helmet. Which he should be penalized for.

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia Where did I bash anyone? All I’m doing is pointing out the difference of the two situations based on the ruling that the IOC made

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia They said this. I am just going based on the statement. The Olympics have been the king of weird rules to keep the Olympics positive and lighthearted. Don’t agree with it but was not surprised at the decision they made to not allow the helmet

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia The text should not have been banned

I know he honored Gaudreau in the NHL but didn’t see the one in the Olympics

There is definitely a different standard being held for the Ukrainian athletes

As for the helmet; I still have never seen someone with photos during the routine.

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@Ox0000dEaD @IdkRand45458616 @OManoylova @iocmedia Yes they should be made to take it off or switch it.
What Latvian helmet are you talking about? When was it worn? Or are they planning to wear it today?

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]

@reepcey @washingtonpost It is allowed because it is not during his routine. The IOC said that the helmet could have been displayed right after his run. Which would have been the same as this.

[Open Mind Sports @OpenMindSports1]
