It's always been like that, the Olympus-named athletics committee has always been ridiculously aggressive about their branding (and no, writing the words-that-cannot-be-named in greek won't save you either). My favourite replacement term is "Summer Games 2012"

I wonder if they are preparing a Superinjunction to prohibit the tweeting of results.

Now, imagine if Christmas had similar sponsors.



Personally, I'd love to see an attempt to prohibit tweeting of results. The Streisand Effect would be glorious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

See Section 3. That's a non-allowed term for anyone not paid up as part of the LOAR. Indeed it appears that "Summer 2012" is also not allowed.


Whoa. I 'm running out of ideas, what do you think about "The Greek Athletics"
