FYI Posted August 2, 2024 Report Posted August 2, 2024 Lol, Sky "news". Australia's Faux Noise equivalent. Conformation bias much? And where are they located, conservative Queensland, site of the 2032 Olympics? As long as they don't have hideous pick-up trucks in their Opening Ceremony! 1 Quote

More than a disappointment! What I witnessed was easily the worst Olympic opening ceremony, at least among those I have attended. A complete freak show, without cohesion, sense, continuity, or connection to the Olympics, athletes, and the games. It seems someone on the committee decided to put a bunch of gays and make a totally woke ceremony, defending the progressive agenda, to then intermingle with athletes and try to relate it to the games. The result was an amalgamation of exaggerations with a circus of aberrations. I expected the Olympics to be a place beyond political platforms. A place of respect, unity, and acclaim of the Olympic spirit, based on overcoming challenges. The organizers think differently. The Olympics is supposed to be about the best of the best. People that strive, suffer, and sacrifice to push themselves to be better individuals. What do these people have do with excellence? The best of Paris, which could be expected through art, music, and ambiance, was thrown away. Instead of can-can, we have trisal sex; instead of eternal works of art, we have a gay Last Supper. Instead of ballet, we see vogue dancers waving their hands as if swatting flies in the middle of strokes. Instead of the best classical music and opera, techno and rock performances. The appearance of the tattered masked figure seemed to come from the right place: the sewers, to properly represent this ceremony. No surprise, just random races. Also unsurprisingly, the athletes’ parade. The big novelty is that they came on boats, as if that made any difference besides making something that is always boring even more monotonous. And the rain was the least of the ceremony's problems. You can’t blame the water for the poorly placed and definitely lost cameras. Cameramen appearing in the focus, abrupt cuts, interspersing live and recorded images. You think: "My God, can it get worse?" Enter the speech segment to make tedious what was already ridiculous. My little enjoyment in this ceremony was seeing those responsible for this trash under torrential rain. A welcome pneumonia should come. Congratulations, Paris, it takes talent to make the purest juice of **** (although the ending with Celine Dion added some perfume to this manure). If the grade goes from A to F, I’d give Paris a Z-. oh honey you don’t know what you’re in for! just stick around here long enough you’ll soon learn that watching the olympics is one of the most homosexual things that one can do. this has been an integral part of my awakening! 1 Quote

FYI Posted August 2, 2024 Report Posted August 2, 2024 More confirmation bias from more far-right wing "news" networks. That doesn't prove/say anything other than pure bigotry. I bet you also subscribe to the notion that ladies without children are also "crazy cat ladies". Quote

FYI Posted August 2, 2024 Report Posted August 2, 2024 Lol, who you calling 'grandpa', when you're the one with the grandpa Simpson VIEWS. You remind me of a very old man complaining about the newer generation with their "dang progressive views". And what about the comments & down-votes on a all those right-wing, conservative "bubble" news sites that you're linking here. All it is, is confirmation bias on your part. Nothing more. Doesn't prove anything other than bigotry. OTOH, have you've seen the comments & down votes here on your bigoted rants?! Quote

To be fair, that’s always been Olympics2028’s specialty: “Will no-one consider he flagpoles!?” As I’ve said before, if you’re triggering the likes of Fox News, Piers Morgan, JK Rowling and these snowflakes, you know you’ve got it right. 1 Quote
FYI Posted August 2, 2024 Report Posted August 2, 2024 Quote Bigoted rants? Are we talking about the official olympics site? Faux Noise, Sky "news", Al Jezeer, etc. (which is all you're linking here) are not "official" Olympic sites. And I think you know that. Quote
guilherme b Posted August 2, 2024 Report Posted August 2, 2024 Cmon. Im talking about olympics on youtube https://www.youtube.com/@Olympics/videos. OC removed all videos after an mass downvote fest. 1 Quote
FYI Posted August 2, 2024 Report Posted August 2, 2024 That may have to do more with youtube is not an "official" Olympic broadcaster (the IOC is very protective of their brand & don't want others hijacking it). So it's really not about what you're trying to portray it as. You can still watch the OC, in it's Primtime version, in-full (at least in my country anyway) from the OFFICIAL broadcast network (at least it's partner, subscribe channel) up until CC day. Quote

Olympics2028 Posted August 2, 2024 Report Posted August 2, 2024 4 hours ago, Bear said: She was born a woman, has lived her life as a woman, and identified as a woman. She is not "genetically male". The following is from the NY Post, which is known as being more rightwing than leftwing. But whether a political liberal or political conservative, try to stick to the facts, folks. You can cite sources you believe indicates that Khelif is a DNA female, not a DNA male. https://nypost.com/sports/who-is-imane-khelif-the-algerian-boxer-in-gender-eligibility-controversy/ Quote There was a bit of a setback to her boxing career in 2023, when Khelif was abruptly disqualified from the 2023 IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships. Algeria initially claimed that it was for “medical reasons” but it was revealed the DQ was due to high levels of testosterone. IBA president Umar Kremlev said the DNA test results of Khelif “proved they had XY chromosomes.” Khelif tried to appeal these findings but later withdrew it. However, the International Olympic Committee uses a different rule set and cleared Khelif to compete at the Paris Olympics Quote
Olympics2028 Posted August 2, 2024 Report Posted August 2, 2024 Too many threads in this forum. Everything about 2024 should be under one heading, everything about 2028 should be under another. Although this thread is about the 2024 opening ceremonies, trying to guess how this guy, who'll affect the next opening of the summer games, probably rated Paris 2024's premiere last Friday evening might have a few hints here: https://www.thewrap.com/casey-wasserman-serial-cheater-allegations-female-staff-la-olympics-chair/ https://www.thewrap.com/la28-silent-casey-wasserman-secretary-affair/ Quote
