The Road to Blackacre Ends Here?
As the Blackacre Olympics approaches, your diplomatic advisors have questioned whether NATIONSNAME ’s athletes should travel to a country known for civil rights abuses. Activists and athletes alike are taking their marks in your mountainside chateau, ready and set to go on with the debate.
I’ve encountered with 4 choices
1. “You cannot deny us this opportunity after we’ve been training for years!” proclaims champion shotputter Billy-Bob Baker while descending into a crouch. “By sending our finest athletes to Blackacre, we can show the world what CITIZEN are made of. Let’s show the world how much better our glorious Galactic Republic is. These fascist Blackacre weaklings will have no choice but to bow down before our athletic superiority. Give us a chance to succeed on the world stage, and we’ll make NATIONSNAME proud!”
2. “Have you seen what they do to — GAAAA!” shouts Foreign Minister Grace Glenn, dodging a cast iron ball flying toward your desk. “…ahem, uh…wa-what they do to peaceful protestors? Attending these games would make a mockery of everything our great Galactic Republic stands for. For the sake of our values and everything that is good and decent in Osiris, NATIONSNAME must boycott the games!”
3. A flurry of snow bursts through your door, followed by a cross-country biathlon skier. “Their internal politics are none of our business,” says National Sporting Committee President Rosalia Mombota, as she stows her ski poles and rifle in a large hole in your desk. “Look, why not let our qualified athletes compete independently? That way, the government can officially disavow the games, while NATIONSNAME still unofficially kicks some backside in the field. Plus, this will make it easier for us to get around restrictions on, um, nutritional supplements. Yeah. Supplements.”
4. As soon as your aides close the door, it bursts open again as an upside down bobsled drifts into your chateau, stopping just before your priceless Maxtopian vase. Your aides turn around the bobsled, revealing the CITIZEN bobsled team, who came in last place at the previous Winter Olympics. “Yo, mon, what if NATIONSNAME hosted its own sporting competition for like-minded nations?” asks the captain of the team, Ruby Suparman, as the team steps up to lift the bobsled over their heads. “Our sportsmen and women deserve the chance to compete in these games, but most of us don’t feel comfortable in these tin-pot dictatorships. This way we all get to compete and we send a message to our enemies.” The bobsledders walk out of your office, as everyone in the room begins to slowly applaud the team.
