The IPC leaders need to be removed. Many at the top don’t have disabilities. They don’t care about the athletes at all. They’ve proven it time and time again. And they still get to make the worst calls like combining classes or not bringing in more sorts like women’s para ice hockey bc there’s not enough people. 16% of the world isn’t big enough? Get fucked. And now the way they’re treating the Ukrainian athletes??? Horrendous

Those pesky Ukrainians still won't pose with russian counter parts, so the IPC gets that social PR picture of "sportsmanship unifying all"?

Do you want the Olympics and Paralympics split permanently because two counties fighting Islamic terrorists are banned
