Even Holland who is usually level headed comes into the Olympics like "here's a child rapist to represent us, we gotta find him special accommodations since there are kids in the village and like we said, our guy raped a child" but don't you dare criticize us!
And every single Dutch person thinks it's fucking absurd
I hope you guys are making a stink to your government about it, cause as a Canadian watching the Olympics, it does reflect poorly on your whole country
Damn right it does. I honestly don't know what they were thinking. Even if you accept that he's "served his time" (which is debatable),and he may be a great athlete, it just isn't a good look to have a convicted child rapist/molester representing you on the biggest sports event in the world.
