I did not watch the opening ceremony, glad I didn't. Unfortunately my feeds are filled with that filth. I WAS going to watch the wrestling; I don't think I will make the time now.

What does this have to do with the Olympics and why would they even include this in the opening ceremonies, it’s just dumb imo.

Not the athletes fault though, and our country didn’t host or put those dumb displays up.
Yep. USA gets the Gold and have the National Anthem played. One of many. 👍 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I don't think the athletes should be punished for the host country being on the brink of Marxism. Focus the hostility at the IOC and France, imo.

I guess I was referring to our athletes, but please feel free to be as inclusive as you wish.

No focus on our athletes that kneel during the anthem if we're comparing apples to oranges. If I was lucky enough to be an Olympic Athlete I would have kicked the shit out of HIM even if it meant being kicked out! And would start a podcast as a true American conservative and make millions talking about idiot liberial,democrats and rhinos!!!

I don't disagree with you at all on this, it wasn't part of the original post about watching wrestling or not. I think this it is absurd that LeBron was the flag barer, I am talking about the kids/young men and women who represent our country, why punish their patriotism by not supporting them. watch it don't watch it, follow the box scores, or not, whatever.

Russia should have been allowed to compete. I mean, we shouldn't hurt the athletes right?
Their athletes don’t count…c’mon man!
Apparently Chuckles is happy the Russians aren’t there?
Why is that? Just a different brand of politics?

I don’t think I should be punished with this shit just for trying to watch the Olympics.
This is a whole new level of bullshit.
At the fucking Olympics??

are the Olympics hosting some sort of drag racing event?
I didn't see this until today. What the hell is this... Do what you want to do but Olympics are still to bring people and country together. Not sure if there is much things in life more polarizing then religion and trans/drag.. just no place for this shit in it. You're force feeding it to the masses. I'm an easy going guy and down to let people be themselves by im not okay with you shoving it down my throat. It's bullshit.

No Russians=Tainted Medals

Pussies
Bobby seems happy they are not there?
The athletes I grew up with wanted only to compete against the highest level opponents. They’d rather finish second than not compete against the best, whatever sport or country.
I was a fair athlete, usually all star team in football, baseball, and especially skiing. Never near the level of these athletes, but pretty good.
My brother was close to being an Olympic caliber downhiller. We grew up racing against Olympic caliber skiers. My brother beat Tommy Moe (before his Olympic gold) once at Alyeska in downhill. That’s like next stratosphere level racing (I’d just watch in amazement).
But none of them would even want to bother racing if the other top guys weren’t there.
I’m pretty sure a lot or most of the Olympic athletes at the games right now want to compete against the best in the world…but yet again politics plays into it.
But that’s how some people operate anyway.
Why beat an opponent when you can just keep them away?
No athlete wants an asterisk next to their achievements.
But to others I guess medal count is all that matters?

Watched men's swimming last night. Gold in the 100m relay. Opening ceremony was a disgrace but alot of our athletes don't support that shit. I will still watch more events. Hopefully next Olympics the finally get topless pillow fights. ESPN Ocho will probably have soon.🤣🤣

Do you think "the athletes shouldn't be punished" when a swinging dick is in the little girls locker room for a "competition"?

The Russian and Belarus athletes are able to compete if they want to. Just not under their home flag.
So…politics.
“Abandon your flag and we’ll let you compete.”
What would you do?

This is what happens when you put the Olympics in the hands of a rump ranger.

Yeah he wanted to be inclusive. He wanted to be inclusive of the alphabet crowd, and disrespect Everyone else!

Whar a colossal fuck up.

They are removing Everything as fast as they can.

Leave it to France to destroy a decades old Athletic tradition with wokeness.

☹️
Even if they didn’t have that scene, the whole thing was a shit show. The boat idea was a fail, the performances between were a fail (lady Gaga/ poorly performed dance scenes), the police boats non-stop circling was weird. For the US audience, the announcers were brutal.

And mixing up the Korean countries!?!? 😱

Everything is all over the news this morning.

I'm glad I was driving and unable to watch it.

Nice work France. 👋🖕

Why is Snoop carrying the torch?

Barry Diller is describing it as a ridiculous gestapo police sate.

They already fire bombed the subway and its off line for 2 days. Geez what a word.

I always watch opening ceremony.
Guarantee ya they didn't check Snoops bags, nor would they. Just overlooked em because of his status
