The UK government is giving away over £200 million of your money to fund athletes for the next Olympics.(This was announced last year judging by the old news link supplied- Day Admin)
I’m watching the World Athletics Championships at the moment (on catch up – I’m about two days behind).
At the moment, no UK athlete has won a medal after 4 or 5 days. Steve Cram and the non diverse BBC panel (all black) have seemingly been getting excited when a cunt finishes 4th in the first round of the heats. If lucky, he it she might qualify for round 2 as a ‘fastest loser’. Whoop de doo!
Unless the athlete is a young promising one gaining experience, or has the chance of a medal, what’s the fucking point funding the cunts? I’ve seen a few older athletes who’ve never threatened a major medal, embarrassing the country yet again, by getting lapped early in races or getting knocked out in the first round.
What is the fucking point letting the useless ones steal a nice living, just so they can get knocked out in the semis if lucky?
Yes, fund the athletes if they have a chance of a medal or are a very promising young athlete, but stop using my cash to fund the useless cunts to have an all year round, expenses paid jolly.
They should be told to fuck it off and get a job.
As I type we’ve just won a bronze in the women’s 1500. One bronze. Let’s get the bunting out.
Fuck off.

Park skateboarding?
On a par with breakdancing, I’d say.
9
Park sports?
Next, Olympic Roundabout spinning, followed by the doubles on the swing. We finish off with the Paralympic slide and sandcastle building.
5
Leaping from a swing and over the wire mesh fence.
Climbing frame/monkey bar in the wet over a poorly levelled concrete base.
Tyre swing made from baling twine and Ford Fiesta tyre
It will keep costs down.
Actually, under this government it probably wouldn’t.

Stop shaking the money tree you shit gibbons

Did Dr Roger Bannister need taxpayer’s dosh to break the 4 minute mile?
18
GT, don’t be cruel.
Today, they need first class flights, luxury hotel accomodation, a dietician, a physio, a coach, a sports psychologist, 4 free healthy meals a day, free energy snacks and drinks, free sports wear and equipment and a very nice salary on top in order to get knocked out in the first round heats again.
18
Then a job at the BB fucking C

Out of the 200 million you can bet that 199 million with go to the darker athletes, it all went wrong this year because the great black hopes only managed Bronze.
White boy gets Gold in the 1500 and white girl gets silver in the 800.
Still, we could see football coming home tomorrow 😂
12
Its now “Three Lionesses on a shirt” according to the reworked song. The whole thing is so forced and cringe its beyond embarrassing.
15
It should be ‘11 pussies in the shirt’
If they win just wait for the cock swinging 😂
13
Two things out me off watching it.
1. Women’s football is shit.
2. I can’t stand female commentators when there is an exciting moment, when all you can hear is a high pitched, loud as fuck shrieking noise.
23
‘11 pussies in a shirt’’?? Surely that’s any premier league football team, which easily translates as 11 cunts because that’s exactly what they are!
2
And you’re right about that it being forced. About 28,000 for a Euro semi. Would be at least 82,000 for the men. The crowd sounded like shrieking schoolchildren.
This is a sign of free tickets.
I wonder how many actually paid to watch it and how much a ticket was?
Yet, we’re supposed to believe that if they win, it’ll the biggest achievement for English football since 1966?
Nobody gives a fuck really! Not to actually pay for or fund this crap anyway.
Just an excuse for broadcasters to put on cheap events. All this promotion of women’s sports that failed to be successful on their own merits (cricket, football and rugby) has simply led to cheap events on satellite and terrestrial TV. No wonder the companies like Sky love this. Costs then fuck all.
I’m a test cricket fan and no matter what, you could always watch a test match if one was on. It would be on Sky or BT. Now, I’ve noticed a lot are not shown (England’s games are shown but not many apart from that).
The reason is that half the time is taken up with shitty women’s matches.
They should have their own channels.
13
Its like in the U.S where the WNBA (incidentally full of lezzas too) is funded by the men’s NBA.
Attendances are the equivalent of an average League One side despite subsidised tickets no doubt, and it took years for any cunt to make a profit. Its like the sporting version of Zimbabwe’s economy.
You can see Sky Sports, BT Sport or ESPN being so understanding with a failing men’s league can’t you?

Dame Kier is demanding a bank holiday if the ‘Lionesses’ win.
He realises there was no bank holiday set up if the men had won the Euro last year? And I don’t believe there was a bank holiday in ’66 after winning the World Cup.
Silly twat.
Let’s make it a two day street party lol.
11
Same with the Lawn Tennis Association
For years they’ve been saying the many millions of pounds from TV rights, merchandising etc will be ploughed back into grassroots tennis in search of a British and World No 1 seed.
And what is the end result – Andy fucking Murray
15
An extremely succinct assessment of the situation.
6
I’m willing to bet my wife it was a trans woman who won the women’s 1500. 😀
7
You mean a bloke with shaved legs and his dick pointing backwards.
8
I wonder if that tranny Arthur Mullins lookalike will be allowed to compete again in the women’s weightlifting event in 2024.
7
Athletics is a fucking hobby. It requires nothing more than a field to run, jump and throw shit in.
Where the fuck has our money been spent to fund this pointless bullshit?
On a slightly different note, I did spend weeks spanking the monkey over one of the lioness’ home made porn vids.
Money well spent. Much like my testicles.
8
Is that the one when she’s on the physio table?
7
Suggest to the IOC a Wanking Marathon event for the 2028 Olympics, based on how long you can last, or how many you can knock out in 2 hours
Or for those with shortcomings, a Wanking Sprint based on the fastest achievement
7
Why are we bankrolling professional sportsmen and women?
7
Seriously, funding athletes is way down my list and much of it is from lottery grants not direct tax.
If you’re interested in government funding.
£2.7 million funding will support civil society organisations working to amend discriminatory laws and practices
PM confirms funding for Birmingham Pride House at the upcoming Commonwealth Games
UK has committed £11m to the protection of LGBT rights as Commonwealth chair-in-office.
Or the race and hate crime grants.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/faith-race-and-hate-crime-grant-scheme-2020-to-2021
Or security for Muslims
Mosques and Muslim faith schools given access to £24.5 million for security measures to protect their places of worship and schools.
The UK is committing a further £217 million for three major education projects across Commonwealth countries today.
All from the government website and if I had the Inclination I could provide many more examples of our money being spent on shit.
10
And yet most if not all of these recipients will be grateful. They’ll still slag off the government for not doing enough
8
Always Techno. It’s never enough!
5
They never seem as keen to share or ‘contribute to the cause’ if they’re one of the lucky ones who become very wealthy from their achievements.
5
These athletes should make do with school games equipment and facilities loaned during the summer holidays.
That’s your lot.
Wantvto get better at swimming? Book an hour at the nearest leisure/community centre pool like every other cunt.
I mean it’s not as if there aren’t loads of existing facilities in, say, east London…

From the Sky article:
‘The UK Government will provide £232m to help athletes from Great Britain and Northern Ireland prepare for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The investment will be used to back aspiring Team GB and ParalympicsGB athletes as well as their coaches and support staff, in addition to funding from the National Lottery.’
This is direct gov money (our money) on top of lottery money for the next Olympics.
8
£232,000,000 of our fucking cash, wankers.
6
GB took 376 athletes to the last Olympics.
If the same number go to Paris, each athlete gets over 600 grand of tax payers’ money.
I’m not too bothered by that if they have a good chance of a medal, but for the useless cunts who always go out early? Fuck off!
1
Should be enough to bribe some foreign athletes to play their games for team GB & who can actually win a medal.
Then deport the cunts and confiscate all their assets.
8
we used to win a lot of medals at pistol shooting and then the cunts banned all the pistols
2
Some woke wimmens gender brainwashed cunt has suggested that they should not be called “The Lionesses” but should be “The Lions” like the mens team. FFS I always though a male Lion was a Lion and a female Lion was a Lioness.
9
It’s a shame we have lions and not dogs on the shirt.
We could legitimately call them ‘the bitches’.
9
The England Women’s team’s baps I am interested in.
No not their breasts their BAP’s (boyfriends and partners).
It seems a lot of the team have ‘partners’ rather than bohyfriends.
Female partners that is.
Is that why Ihave an aversion to it?
Manly women playing football.
Could be.

You’re right Miles.
My nan can’t watch it.
Doesn’t seem ‘right’ to her.
Football has always been a sport played by men and watched by men.

I don’t think public money should be spent on this bollocks at all.
Tax payers’ money should be spent on things which are either necessary or for the common good. I don’t see how throwing cash at some cunt to run around a track a few times qualifies on either criteria.
That said, tax payers’ money is flushed down the khazi paying for room & board for the dinghy dwellers, so the bar is pretty low. Probably not low enough for a British high jumper to clear it though. See what I did there?

Evening IY.
Its hard if not impossible to justify the expenditure. Little comfort to pensioners heating a single room for warmth that some no mark is being funded to chuck a hammer and finish 16th in an event almost nobody will care about or watch.
That’s why I stopped playing the lottery (apart from winning sweet fuck all) I didn’t agree with a lot of the bullshit causes it helped fund. This was years ago so they are probably even more batshit woke now. I see there is a jackpot in the U.S at $1.5Bn! Insane.

Evening LL.
How goes the battle?
Every now and then Britain throws up an athlete of some quality. Daley Thompson, Sebastian Coe, erm….I’m out. It’s not enough to justify spending millions on wannabes, only for them to fail miserably. Our sports teams and competitors are known the world over as triers, who make up the numbers, gallantly lose and very occasionally fluke a win. I’m OK with that. I’d rather that than the Yank approach to anything sporting which overbearing arrogance and hissy fit meltdowns if they don’t win everything in sight. Dirty little secret – I love it when the US loses at stuff and always root for their opposition.
When the Yank lottery goes bananas Mrs Yank usually buys a couple of tickets – just in case. She didn’t this time, so the fact I didn’t win is now officially her fault. Trouble with the Yank lottery is it’s taxed. The money you get is after they take a huge chunk out of it and give it to the IRS. They don’t trust you to declare it and pay the tax voluntarily at the end of the tax year. Lovely isn’t it? Tickets bought with taxed income and the winnings are then taxed. How corrupt and wrong is that? Cunts.
I get what you say about questionable uses of UK lottery money. I bought an album a few years ago by a band called Ten Fé (Hit The Light). The actual disc I might add. Not buying the physical media is cunty. Anyway, reading the liner notes (which you can’t do with streaming/downloads!!) I noticed the album was recorded with help from the Lottery Fund. Why, FFS? If you’re a new, up and coming band trying to get some traction in the industry, why should you get lottery money and another band doesn’t? What utter bollocks.
Time for a lie down.

Keir Starmer is going to get a memo saying, ‘Sorry, there’s no more money’.

What is the point of the olympics anyways, spent awhile attempting to think of the wondrous things that have resulted from some cunt running fast. Came up with fuck all that benefits me or anyone else.
