A View from the 'Hill

Chan dropped from Deaflympics

or not, apparently

according to taipei mayor Hao Lung-bin, Jackie Chan had already completed his work for the Deaflympics:

Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) said yesterday that action star Jackie Chan's (成龍) tenure as ambassador for the Deaflympics ended last year and urged the public not to politicize sports, amid a furor over the celebrity's anti-democratic remarks.

...“Each of the ambassadors we invited has a different mission and Jackie Chan's work was done last year"

now i don't want to call Hau a liar, but if this is true, someone forgot to tell the Deaflympics organizing team

when i interviewed their PR spokesperson a couple of months back, she couldn't wait to tell me how central Jackie Chan was to their promotion of the games

and in another interview just one week ago, who was the first ambassador mentioned by the organizer's CEO?
That's right, Mr. J. Chan Esq.
