I'm going to put this thread on ignore because 1) I don't see how it can possibly not become controversial and 2) because I come here for the common interest of cycling and sports, not for politics. If you are a good friend of mine, you know what I hope for and I know what you hope for.

The rest of you? It's no one's business but your own and I don't want to risk what we do have in this forum by the delicacy required for such conversations. Sometimes, it is best to put politics aside.

Mr. Silver, please be respectful that this is a women's cycling forum first and foremost, but to each his own.
