I disagree.

Watch the video I posted and read those Tweets.
Sounds like Gordon can't even, today.

I didn't expect you to defend. I just was trying to get across how this is different.

This isn't her "just not even". This is a legit mental issue for an athlete same as the shanks. OH! It's like a writer with writer's block. Make more sense?

I dont tolerate writer's block. That way I don't feel hypocritical being intolerant in the weaknesses of others.

Iran wins gold by losing.

On a related note, here's something to fuck with your childhood: Daniel Larusso's kick to the head is illegal by tournament rules and he should have been DQed.

Hamedi won silver after the DQ loss.

IOC dumps the group responsible for their boxing.

Seems like most agree this is a good move.

U.S. sending more women than men to Olympics for the 4th straight summer games.

As some point we might need to tweak Title IX. Well, I mean aside from how Biden's admin just fucked it up in favor of chicks with dicks.

1. Long shot call: between the Metallica-Master of Puppets/Stranger Things event of last year, and Gojira crushing it at the Olympics opening ceremonies with a metal/opera version of a traditional French revolution song, complete with fire and decapitations and blood spraying out of a castle, I predict this will be the beginning of the end of bubble gum pop (for now) and metal will swing around again as more kids appreciate actual musicians being entertaining. Fake musicians have pretty much peaked, just as hair metal had in 1990 when grunge appeared. This is that moment, again.

2. Because of this I also want France to win all the medals. It was an epic decision to do that

I was extremely disappointed at first because Gojira means something different to 80s kids who grew up watching Creature Feature.

Very cool video despite the annoying reaction guy.

Wut? We are not in a bubble gum pop era.

Meh. Just a generalization of all the musicians out there who don't play instruments, don't write songs, and some can't even sing.

France called South Koreans North Koreans during the opening cermony.

They've also apologized for the woke opening ceremony people thought mocked The Last Supper.

Then there's the power outages, and the horrible conditions in Olympic village. (cardboard beds, beds like hard sponges, no AC, they ran out of protein, etc.)

Shocking that a poorly run country can't run an Olympics.

Should the Olympics be held at a single site (actually two: one for summer and one for winter) going forward? Maybe 4 total sites, one in each hemisphere and participating countries pay some fee that goes entirely towards maintaining the grounds?

Also, Salt Lake City got the 2034 Winter Olympics.
