U.S. President Joe Biden recently spoke on the likelihood of the Olympics taking place this Summer in Tokyo. Appearing on a Westwood One Sports radio show that was broadcast at halftime of the Super Bowl on Sunday, President Biden said that any decision regarding the Olympics being held this year “must be based on science.”
Biden recently spoke to Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who he says is “working very hard to be in a position to safely open the Games, to have the Games.” He added that he “feels such pain” for the Olympians who would be missing out on the opportunity they’ve trained for years for, if in fact, the Games are not able to take place. The president finished his remarks by saying “We are a science-driven administration, I think the rest of the world’s there too. I hope we can play, I hope it’s possible, but it remains to be seen.”
Biden’s words come on the heels of an interview Tokyo Organizing Committee member Haruyuki Takahashi recently gave, wherein he stated that the future of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics could well depend on the support of Joe Biden. Takahashi went on to say that a strong, positive statement by the U.S. president in favor of the Games going ahead would help gain momentum for the Committee going forward with the plans.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics were moved back by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in recent weeks, a wave of conflicting reports have emerged regarding the likelihood of the Olympics taking place in Tokyo this summer. After a report that Japanese officials internally were concerned Tokyo would not be able to successfully move forward with the Olympics this year, which was disputed by the Japanese government, the U.S. state of Florida offered to host the event.
Most recently, the Tokyo 2020 President, Yoshiro Mori, stated that the Olympics would take place regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic. IOC President Thomas Bach also recently reaffirmed the IOC’s commitment to going through with the Games, which are scheduled to begin July 23rd. Prime Minister Suga also confirmed that Japan’s intention is still set on moving forward with the Games.
Joe Biden is a politically-driven fearmonger who tries to hide behind the guise of being “pro-science” As a presidential candidate he opposed the NCAA college football season. More rational minds prevailed and the college football season was completed with limited fan attendance and NO DEATHS due to Covid-19. Likewise the NFL, NBA, MLB & Pro Soccer seasons were completed with NO DEATHS. These are young, healthy & well-conditioned athletes and not elderly patients with declining health like Biden himself (& the vast majority
of Coronavirus fatalities).
Biden’s extremist agenda is so controversial that even even LGBT activists like Martina Navratilova have come out against him for his radical transgender agenda that will allow men to compete with women.

So I know some Olympians in Japan. I forwarded this article to them. They said nothing about this is reported. They did not even know anything about it. LOL.
Thought Bernie was your guy?
Nothing. In his world, “I thought you were a Bernie supporter” is a hysterical slam.
Must be super bizarre to be out among ‘real people’ and make these kind of jokes and nobody laughs. It’s like when you verbally repeat a meme you saw on Twitter and everyone just grimaces.
Maybe he thought you were a one man…man?
Who’s Joe?
That’s Kamala’s running mate.
Bernie’s puppet
Just here for the far right SwimSwam comments.
Thanks for letting us know. I often wonder why you are here 😄
Pretty much everyone to the right of being far left agreed on the trans topic.
When you’re on the far left, anything to your right is “far right” I guess 🤷🏼♂️
This conversation is a dead end. Let’s not have it.
The Trump Train has been DERAILED! He lost the election and will forever be remembered as a one term president. Trump’s pathetic little insurrection failed. Whether you personally like him or not, we all need to rally behind our new POTUS 💎 Diamond Joe 💎 and heal our great nation. Saying a decision “must be based on science” is absolutely right! #RidinWithBiden
We don’t have to blindly follow anyone nor agree with every decision they make regardless of who occupies the office. We know that the administration pulls out the science card when it meets their agenda and conveniently leaves it out when it doesn’t. There’s nothing wrong with holding your leaders accountable.
Nice try but there’s nothing wrong with basing a decision on science.
Yeah ive got some bad news for ya there big shoots, biden aint doing anything better than what trump was and if anything, all hes doing is driving the potential of people dying from non covid factors up (starvation, environmental factors, etc) because hes denying them the ability to make a living and provide for themselves (lockdowns)
Did Joe Biden institute some new kind of lockdown? I must’ve missed that.
One thing is for sure: Biden has his work cut out for him fixing Trump’s screw ups!
Sun yang will join team USA, turn into a transgender athultete and sweep womens events at trials. Then on the mens side lochte will sweep followed by phelps in 1500 free complete underwater
I think you mean the 100 butterbreast
Joey Biden has science behind him…he is pretty crafty and funny. Perhaps our best President ever – if he really is the president?
Give it a rest.
Trump lost go cry elsewhere
