So a year ago I posted this pic I found of the Olympics, it was regarding their decision to take out wrestling for the 2020 games.

With Russia's stance on gay rights there seems to be some controversy brewing. So in the spirit of the above picture, had the decision to keep wrestling out had stayed, I give you my new logo for the Olympics. Completely void of any gayness
