Sports bureaucrats are evil. The NCAA is as evil as any. They all exploit athletes, take bribes, and care more about money than sports. People who participate in sports are usually not evil. Often they are victims of the corrupt bureaucrats. FIFA in Qatar is bad for athletes, bad for "guest workers" (slaves) in Qatar, and bad for fans. Money is power, and power corrupts. Money ruins sports. Keep the sports. Ditch the bureaucracies.
The snow in Slovenia looks like it might be a microburst or downburst. I experienced one here (Wishkah Valley near Aberdeen WA USA) recently (without snow, but with some large hail) and the winds were ferocious! Though brief. (Microbursts are infamous for crashing jets at landing or takeoff.)
