I will forever think less of the Netherlands as a country for allowing him to represent them. This can never be a case of "don't blame an entire nation on the acts of one guy."
They chose to allow him to represent their country at the highest stage of sports. They could have not but they chose to do it. The Netherlands as an entire country absolutely MUST receive the brunt of our judgement and disgust or else things like this may happen again. Blame the entire country. Blame their culture. Blame their government. If we allow this to be a "it's just one bad
apple" thing then there will be no consequences to the Netherlands for voluntarily selecting this monster to represent their country just because they wanted to have a slightly higher percentage chance at winning a sports medal.

Even if that's your interpretation, the Netherland's will forever be a fucked up country in my mind for voluntarily choosing to have this guy represent their nation at the Olympic fucking Games. Allow him to reenter society, sure. Allow him to keep playing volleyball, sure (even though I personally don't think that he deserves any of this). But to tap him to wear your country's flag at the world's biggest sporting event? That was a choice that was made, and one that will forever taint your country.
It would have been so easy to be like "Look, Steve, you're allowed to keep playing, you're allowed to live a normal life, but we're going to leave you off the Olympic team because we think it's a bad look to have a child r*pist represent our country at the Olympics. Sound fair, right?" But for whatever fucked up reason your country chose not to do that.
Oh, and PS: I also want to make it a point to let you know that I think every single person defending this guy and/or justifying the actions of the Dutch Team is also a PDF-file or a PDF-file sympathizer. Including you. I will continue on with my life assuming that you, u/-, are a PDF-file
PDF-file allemaal!
