International An olympic athlete whos a child rapist?

Netherlands also has liberal use of MAID so they're a morally bankrupt country.
 
I guess I'm just for second chances and after somebody sits out their time in jail I don't see any reason to keep on punishing them and interfere with their sports career or whatever career they choose to pursue. If you don't rehabilitate criminals after they did their sentence you'll just create more problems.
Is this real life?

Seriously. The country can say he isn’t allowed in the team. I wouldn’t compete in the Olympics if my team had a convicted :eek::eek::eek::eek:phile on the team.
 
Perhaps more then any other event participating in the Olympics should be an honour , I know the commercial nature of the modern games has compromised that ideal but I think a :eek::eek::eek::eek: is still in no way worthy of the honour of competing at the games .
 
Kid would have been executed under my watch, forget about playing volleyball.
 
Hopefully he pisses off a combat sport athlete in the Olympic village...
 
When I read this I couldn't believe it.

Volleyball player Steven van de Velde is a convicted child rapist, and he is representing the Netherlands in beach volleyball. I can't believe the Netherlands allowed this guy to represent their country.

Seemly, all the crowd could do is loudly boo him.

Meh… why be surprised?

 
You are arguing with people who take this position opposing you, and then politically support an adjudicated rapist. This is a purity argument and little more. That's why it's being framed towards you as "are you Pro child-rapist??" when in other context these people support people who want to institutionalize child marriage, and remove spousal rape as an actual thing, as well as banning abortions. It's an unserious argument, they applaud a guy who was pals with THE most notorious child sex predator in human History, and would like to hand him the keys to the US.

Your view is, at the very least, a bit more ideologically consistent. They are using their framing to suggest that your Country has a moral bankruptcy that their ideology wouldn't allow, at least not in the same context.

Holy shit that's an incredibly creative way to show off your TDS, what a fucking retarded post. How about we keep it on topic instead of this unhinged TDS shit?

Looks like nobody cares except some angry people online. Not his direct teammates, nor other people on the Dutch team, nor his opponents.

"Leave this convicted sexual predator alone, but dont you DARE talk about the one trying to run your Country!!"

Well, scratch the notion that you might be ideologically consistent. Like most reactionaries you're just a complete and total snowflake when people criticize your Country.

Why are you derailing the thread with your TDS?

I think there's a fair argument to be made for our country keeping him off the team but I don't really agree with it and think it's fine to let him compete. Too difficult for you to understand?
 
We had a thread on this before. What would you suggest otherwise? The guy did his time, should the IOC anybody from competing if they've ever been convicted before and been to jail?
you’re a sick fuck, defending a child rapist is the lowest, maybe you share his sexual preferences ya creep

A non American trump supporter...pro :eek::eek::eek::eek: olypmpian...seems about right

Log off and never come back :eek::eek::eek::eek: supporting weirdo
 
Nevermind the country he is representing, why did the people in charge of the Olympics allow him? Do they have no say in who a country chooses to compete?

I'm not defending anything he did, I'm just saying he got his punishment and I don't think it's fair to punish him for the rest of his life. You're spazzing out here bro.

So they can ban Russian athletes because of a war, but should have no say in individual human rights abusers?
 
Yeah it's a bizarre one. On the one hand you can say the guy served his time but the majority of companies and businesses wouldn't hire a guy with this history of criminal conviction.

Yes? Child rapists should not be allowed to compete and represent their country. He only did one year too. Absolute joke.

It's fair to punish a guy for the rest of his life who flew over to another country to rape a preteen. This is such a weird defense. He didn't get any real punishment.


If that was your daughter, would you want him to compete in the Olympics after one year of prison?
