Watching the Olympics? Post about it here.
A quick intro.... 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony: Start time, TV channel, date, live stream, key athletes and events The 2024 Olympic Games begin July 26 and will be televised on NBC through Aug. 11 It's the time once again. It's time for the best athletes in the world to come together and crown champions in their various sports. The 2024 Olympic Games are set to begin this week in Paris as the world descends upon France. While there will be some qualifying events taking place earlier in the week, things officially kick off on Friday with the Opening Ceremony. The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for Friday and feature several firsts, including being the first ceremony to be held outside of a stadium, as well as a parade of athletes held on the Seine River with boats for each national delegation. The boats will travel along a 3.7-mile stretch, passing by many iconic Parisian landmarks along the way. The ceremony will conclude with remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron. Expect another gold-filled summer for the Americans as Team USA will be represented in just about every event over the course of the Games. Some of the biggest stars are back, including gymnast Simone Biles, decorated swimmers Katie Ledecky and Caleb Dressel, as well as track athletes Noah Lyles and Sha'carri Richardson. Plus, the men's and women's basketball teams look to extend their dominant runs at the games with more gold. There will be two flag bearers for the United States when the team takes the boat down the Seine River -- LeBron James and tennis star Coco Gauff. The 2023 US Open champion was stunned by the news when it was revealed to her on Wednesday. "I never thought in a million years I would have the honour of carrying the American flag for Team USA in the opening ceremony," Gauff said in a statement. "I could not be more proud to lead my teammates with LeBron as we showcase our dedication and passion on the biggest stage there is." Here's how to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony and highlights from the first week of competition. Quote:

Part of being an adult is realizing other people enjoy other things and it really doesn’t affect your life in any way. Just deal with it and move on. No snowflake whining needed. Frankly, I go to sporting events and get tired of seeing the millionth salute to service - some cook who served the logistics line at an air show in Nebraska - everyone stand and cheer. This shit makes some people feel good and I’m guessing there’s a group of people that feel good seeing drag queens perform. |

Just another talking point you’re parroting. Like maybe .005% of the participants in events leading up to the games were drag queens but you’re obsessing over it. |

Excuse me for holding the view that was normal in society up until about 10 years ago. I turned it off as soon as I saw drag queens.

To that I agree. I could give a shit. Just don't throw it in my face and call it "pride". That, what you saw in the opening ceremonies, is going waaaaay beyond that. And it's out of control. I suppose you'd be the type that is offended and pissed if you're exposed to someone touting religion and asking you to repent. Bet that pisses you off. People like you are the problem. |

If your fetish is ruining everyone else's good time, then your flaunting that quite well.

Canada got hit with 6 point deduction in pool play for the drone. They'll have to win all 3 matches and still get some help to move on.
