Today on April 22 my late cousin Peter #Zezel would have turned 61 yrs old. Please do a random act of kindness today to honour his life & legacy. Our hearts hurt on this day. He mattered so much to our family, & to a lot of people. Whatever team he played for, he was loved. His kindness lives on.🫶🏻

IOC looking to include Russia in the summer games yet disqualify a competitor from Ukraine with 'a banned helmet'? One can see their bias straight away. It would be valid if the helmet said 'Fuck off IOC' but it was pictures of people on the helmet.
