Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Protests erupting in Milan, police deploying water cannons and tear gas, it’s a pattern we’ve seen before.
The Unsustainable Olympics Committee, a group known for their environmental concerns, is leading the charge.
Adding to the chaos, masked protesters set off smoke bombs and firecrackers on a bridge overlooking a construction site.
This one feels recognizable early, with the heavy police presence and the protesters veering away from the Olympic Village.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end, given the history of protests and controversy surrounding the Olympics.
Original Observation: This is just another chapter in the ongoing struggle between the Olympics and the community.
