Paris Olympics

[colddiesel]

FIFA Sanctions handed down today:

• Canadian women's soccer team assessed 6 penalty points at the START of the tournament, i.e. everyone starts at zero except Canada, they start at -6.
• Canada's coach, assistant coach and team analyst, all three given 12 month suspension from all sports (effectively firing them)
• Canadian delegation assessed a 200,000 Swiss Franc fine.

Always good for a laugh when FiFA, a strong contender for most corrupt sports organisation on the planet hands out grossly excessive fines and penalties.

Paris Olympics Organizers Apologize for Opening Ceremony’s ‘The Last Supper’ Scene
The bawdy scene, which involved dancers, drag queens and a mostly naked figure covered in blue paint, was decried by religious and conservative groups

PARIS—The organizers of the Paris Olympics issued a brief apology on Sunday after coming under heavy criticism from religious groups and conservative politicians for including a bawdy scene in Friday night’s Opening Ceremony that resembled Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of France had decried it as a “mockery.”

LOL. That was no apology. That was a "we're sorry you were offended, tough shit" response.

I quit watching the Olympics after they screwed Bonnali out of a perfect 10 and a golf medal for being better than the poster girls

The French have no need to pander to the faux outrage of right wing nuts pretending to be victims.

Thoughts and prayers for your victimhood.

I think it was more like “j’emmerde tes sentiments”.

 

[glamorilla]

At least Biden was too stiff to be bowing all over the world.

was that supped to be "bowing" or "boning"?

I'd like to see the Muslim Clerics in France to remind their followers that Jesus Christ is a revered prophet in Islam and is referred to on several occasions in the Holy Q'uran and that they shouldn't have to tolerate that blaspheme. Maybe even issue a few Fatwah's.

Your faux outrage is pathetically unconvincing.

You need to try harder. Maybe accuse the French Olympic Committee of promoting ice cream at the Olympics? We know how enraged you MAGAs pretend to be about anyone who eats ice cream.

The French can do whatever they want. As for victimhood, nah, that's for woke lefties. I just won't watch.

She said while playing the victim.

“I am hurt, HURT, that the French did a bawdy enactment of a famous painting for a couple of minutes during the four hour opening ceremony!”

You really suck at mind reading, no wonder "Hollywood Psychic's" canned your ass.

I'm merely giving the shit in the old bucket a stir. You know, providing one more reason for the follower's of the religion of peace to issue death warrants for the organizers. And if they do I'll just pop some corn and sit back and look for results.

I don't think you have much of an understanding of the basic tenets of Christianity.

Obviously. That’s why I said your faux outrage is particularly unconvincing.

Maybe you should try a new target. Maybe find someone wearing a tan suit and pretend to be mad about that. Stupidity like that is worth repeating!

My comment was not about tenets of anything.

Keep trying! You might eventually convince someone that you actually care about what you pretend to care about.

Maybe try to pretend the opening ceremony was a psyop by Taylor Swift!

Persecution and ridicule are a big part of the Christian wardrobe. You always revert to changing the scope of an arguement to "suit' your political bias.

You certainly do pretend to be persecuted. Not that anyone pays attention.

My three personal favorite Olympic Opening Ceremonies
3. Muhammad Ali unexpectedly appears in the spotlight to light the torch for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics
2. That paraplegic archer firing a flaming arrow to light the torch for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics
1. Queen Elizabeth skydives from a helicopter along with James Bond to start the 2012 London Olympics

I'm still sorting out the players. The GB is now total braindead masturbators.

The Clarkless women's bb team is coasting over Japan in the 3rd. Still hard to watch but improving.
