Thank God I missed the opening. The screw up big time calling S. Korea North. Morons. Never mind raising the Olympic flag upside down. But, it's just another day in gay Paris.

Nope. Wasn't planning to watch anyway. Fencing was always hard to catch. And they don't have Mongolian Wrestling.

I’m glad I missed the opening but I’m enjoying the sport very much.
Good on you! bdw Depriving yourself of something otherwise enjoyable through their actions is ... well, caving to the "bad guys." Some of our member find denying themselves of something they'd surely enjoy satisfying I suppose. Makes sense to the self-deniers I guess.

I haven't watched the Olympics for many years. These of France, have been very singular, unusual, in some spectacles, that demand the recognition, and the attention, of collectives, that live and are financed by the victimhood. A very politicized Olympics. Europe has completely lost the north. That said, France is beautiful, I have very good French friends, whenever I have traveled with the truck, and I have slept in some cities or towns, its people have treated me incredibly well. God bless you.

Come on guys! It's France! French elites, no less, not those good people who reside outside of Paris. What else would you expect? No reason to ignore the Games if you ordinarily enjoy watching. There's a couple of events I enjoy, I'll follow them not withstanding the abrasive opening.

That stuff goes on here all the time too, that wasn't just caused by "french elites".

It's a matter of whether you condone it or not. If you go ahead and watch it anyway, that shows your approval of it.

If you do approve of it, then carry on.

I just wonder how many shit sandwiches people can eat..

It was drag queens reenacting the last supper. Men in dresses mocking Jesus.

Your comments on the first page were that you were doutful that you'd even watch it.. now you'll defend it as something too good to sacriface?

Sir, you are a contrarian to the max.

I also found some very tasteless parts of the opening, but easily forgotten.
I won't forget and I suspect many thousands (if not millions) of others are of the same opinion. The sad part is, it punishes only the athletes. I am officially backtracking on my earlier post to watch any of the events. I honestly believe it's time to end the corruption and send the IOC and the Olympics the way of the dodo.

How? In what way? Apparently you watched and disapprove. Seems reasonable.

I have no TV service so I won't watch. Well, the games may be on at the kids. So if I visit I'll most likely see a bit. I'll follow by reading Breitbart and maybe FoxSports.

Didn't watch the production. Apparently many people got their panties in a bunch over it. Glad I missed it. It was pure theater designed to amuse and irritate. Certainly nothing to get exorcised over. Simply change the channel.

I simply won't let the "bastards" get me down or live in my head, controlling aspects of my life. The Olympics are about making money. The Olympics is also about the athletes. Winning a medal means better living conditions in some countries and being on the Wheaties box in ours.

PS

No one enjoys having their beliefs attacked. But, it's part and parcel of life, even guaranteed in our laws here in the US.

Lucky for me, my mind is not large enough to think many thoughts at once.
You want to mock every, and I mean every traditional belief in one fell swoop (of one religion, mind you), and have it approved by the cabal of world Olympic overlords as okay?
That’s okay, just like it’s okay for me say fuck them, and fuck the Olympics.
I was a 12 year old in Lake Placid in 1980. I know what Olympics are, and aren’t.
