you seem to think that accusing the IOC of bribery is snark and that defending that accusation is also snark. while it's certainly got the irreverent quotient, it lacks the sarcasm. again, the IOC is not FIFA, BYU isn't Harvard and quit looking for conspiracies where they don't exist because it only adds to the pile of "BOTH SIDES DO IT!" okay?

The IOC was as dirty as FIFA. Both sides don't do it. IOC and FIFA have both been shown to be corrupt from awarding sites (Sochi, Beijing x 2 , Rio, Dubai) to the level of officiating (Mens' Basketball 1972, Women's fencing and others.)

... in Trumplandia, yes. Remember - "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean- neither more nor less." And... "I have the best words." - iDJT

We ARE through the looking glass here.

I just went on one of my infrequent visits to Costco (Fidoes needed fuel) and slid by the book table, as is my wont. I had not heard of the apparently current Newt hagiography of Donald, but there it was. I threw up in my mouth a little, trying to imagine a scenario under which I might read even a word of it.
