The head of the Sochi Olympics has asked the International Olympic
Committee for help in making you annoying gays, and friends of gays,
stop being so mean to them.
Apparently, Olympics sponsors, like Coke and McDonald’s, are getting a
little uncomfortable having their name attached to games that are being increasingly compared to Hitler 1936 Nazi Olympics.
You see, all that international concern for the safety and well-being
of Olympic athletes, guests and media, including gay and trans
athletes, has apparently been a real downer for the 2014 Winter
Olympics.
And now there are concerns that not enough people may attend, and
that the corporate sponsors might not want their names associated with,
oh I don’t know, an athlete with “Coke!” on his blazer being carted away
by the Russian secret police because he hugged by husband.
So, Sochi is now begging the IOC -that has mishandled this disaster from the beginning – for help. From AP:
The head of the Sochi Olympics asked the IOC on Sunday to help “stop this campaign and this speculation” related to the anti-gay law that has been overshadowing preparations for next year’s Winter Games in Russia.
A senior IOC member, meanwhile, said sponsors are “afraid” of the fallout of possible demonstrations in Sochi.
“I think this could ruin a lot for all of us,” marketing commission chairman Gerhard Heiberg said. “We have to be prepared.”
