2024 Olympics

[jdcatty]

Other than track and field and gymnastics, the golf and basketball are just pros we see all the time.

Do the Olympics even matter anymore?

It is the only time I watch any swimming.  And sometimes women's soccer.  And then a few minutes of the weird things, like the guys that paddle those little pirogues, or whatever they are.

Well the US just got it broken off in them during their rugby match. Fiji is a small country that probably trippled their national debt just to fly its team to the games, but they sure know how to play funky football.

The only thing about the Olympics is the open games and making a drinking game out of it. I have no desire to watch most of that shit and don't really care. Nobody that's throwing a disc is getting on the cover of a wheatie's box it's just a select few anyone gives af about everyone else that goes remains poor

Well shit.  I would have watched rugby if I had known it was on.  I have two brothers who used to play it in Central Arkansas, and I understand it.  When you see good teams play it can be a lot of fun.

Apparently Paris is the emptiest it has been in years during summer..:.abc news did story how shops struggling and no tourists and 4 million fewer than expected. Also miles and miles of barriers blocking off historical sites due to protests and Olympics with a lot of security everywhere ya go.

I am guessing they are working hard to maintain some perfectly safe but relatively small areas for tourists, and warning them not to go outside those areas.

Probably, most of the security forces are at the Olympics venues. That leaves less security at the tourist spots in town or surrounding areas. Look for something to happen outside the Olympic areas.

found the USA Australia 7 man rugby game about 20 minutes ago.  We got beat pretty bad.  Actually a fun game to watch if you halfway understand it-  which is about what I do, halfway understand it.

If I want to watch men rubbing up on and trying to tackle each other I'll just wait for an Arkansas vs Ole Miss basketball game.

I wouldn't shed even one tear if our US basketball team flamed out in spectacular fashion.  Fuck em.

[egregious]

I have more interest in riot coverage than the games.

I wonder if the left that drives that shit everywhere will turn it off for 2 weeks.

Well shit
phony motherfuckers, don't care what these assholes do to their own people but shift them around like chess pieces when necessary

Of course, I am sure Parisians are like big city dumbasses everywhere and vote for that shit in droves so fuck everybody involved.

should use their exploding electric busses

The news said due to Olympics half the places are not even walkable around parties because there are so many gates and fences up to block access

Rick B and Dee are in Paris right now. No way I would be anywhere near there.

No shit. Have you been keeping up with all the shit that has gone wrong for them on their trip? I don't think I would ever take a trip with them.

not really as I barely look at fb. I guess I'll go and look now out of curiosity.


Omg the Paris Airbnb they booked was a roach motel. Yikes that is gross and they stayed one night. I would have gone to a hotel. What area was that in. Rick has lost his phone. I'd die trying to pack that much shit into one trip. I like to go and take my time exploring. I would lose it with this itinerary
