- JasonFruit 4y agoThe lists in that article are absurdly tendentious. Except for Berlusconi, there's very little reason given to justify inclusion.
- routerl 4y agoYou seem to have read a different article than the one I linked, since your comment is incoherent given the contents of the linked article. E.g. the lists literally include the 1936 (Nazi) Olympics, which is just about the textbook example of using a global sporting event for the sake of propaganda. Jesse Owens certainly threw a wrench in those (white supremacist) plans, however.
