Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
I wonder if the olympic comittee should ban him from playing in order to discourage this kind of thing in the future.
Why? Personal choice. No one forced him.
Yes, no one person forced him. But career pressure and fomo did. And I don't think that sets exactly a good precedent.
I’d give my finger to be in the olympics. Already lost a finger in an accident and doesn’t change much 🤷
Hockey players are another breed. Not agreeing with his decision but also not that surprised.
Also, "sets exactly a good precedent"? I don't see why this man should be expected to make personal/medical decisions based on "setting a good precedent".
