Rings of Hell VIII: The Exploitation Olympics
b'The Olympics pose monumental risks to everyone unfortunate enough to be in their orbit, and this is true especially for workers \\u2013 from the workers who help make the games happen (construction, service industry, volunteers) to the athletes themselves. Labor exploitation and the Olympics are synonymous, and @nolympicsla has charted this history of rampant harm \\u2013 everything from wage theft to psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse \\u2013 in the modern Olympics, even the beloved 1984 games. This week NOlympics LA is joined by members of the @dsa_la Labor and Healthcare committees to explore how the Olympics are always sold as being \\u201cgood for labor,\\u201d while the receipts show the reality couldn\\u2019t be further from the truth.'
