Über diesen Titel

 NOlympics LA has teamed with KNOCK LA to present a series of podcasts which focuses on all of the very real consequences of the Olympics that the IOC and local politicians try to scrub from the mainstream media discourse. This series offers a deeper dive into many of the subjects we explore as a campaign at large: the Olympics’ effects on housing, homelessness, democracy, immigrants, people of color, athletes, the poor, and specifically how this will affect LA in the lead up to 2028.NOlympics LA Politik & Regierungen

    The Olympic Endgame - Episode 10
    Oct 5 2025

    For the tenth and final episode of the Rings of Hell series, we have a full house of NOlympians to talk about everything that’s happened in LA and in the crumbling Olympic empire since this series started a couple months ago. This includes the release of NOlympics’ survey about the 2028 games, the LA84 Foundation’s embarrassing “social justice” summit, the fall of the Huizars, the death of the Calgary’s 2026 bid, and much, much more.

  • The Youth Sports Swindle - Episode 9

    The Youth Sports Swindle - Episode 9
    Oct 5 2025

    We debunk the feel good fuzzies of the LA84 Foundation, often perceived as a benign altruistic youth sports non-profit but which is – after some serious scrutiny – really an unaccountable non-profit who merely claims to promote social justice and the empowering of marginalized communities. In practice, they’re more active in whitewashing LA than they are in making it more equitable. They’re massive investors in real estate giants like Blackstone and Oaktree Capital (the slumlords who led a misinformation campaign to defeat Prop 10 in November), and their work has been used to leverage the 2028 Olympics. Read more of our research on LA84 and a recap of its annual summit, which took place after the recording of this episode.

  • The Exploitation Olympics - Episode 8

    The Exploitation Olympics - Episode 8
    Oct 5 2025

    The Olympics pose monumental risks to everyone unfortunate enough to be in their orbit, and this is true especially for workers – either workers who help make the games happen (construction, service industry, volunteers) to the athletes themselves. Labor exploitation and the Olympics are synonymous, and we’ve charted this history of rampant harm – everything from wage theft to psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse – in the modern Olympics, even the beloved 1984 games.


    For episode 8 of the Rings of Hell podcast, we’re joined by members of DSA Los Angeles’ Labor and Healthcare committees to explore how the Olympics are always sold as being “good for labor,” while the receipts show the reality couldn’t be further from the truth.
