The Official 2024 Paris Summer Olympics Thread (from July 26 - August 11) - Closing Ceremony replay at 7pm EST

[Barney Rubble]

Volleyball with the Eiffel Tower centered in the background is dope as hell. Looks like a video game background.

 

[Mister Terrific]

From playing pick up ball in Japan I can tell you defense is absolutely optional. Their high schools even run a 24 second clock so basically it’s all fast breaks all game long. Almost completely different game.

Watching four events at a time on YTTV multi view.

Waiting for women’s volleyball.

 

[chineebai]

Handball is interesting

 

[mbewane]

Lorenzo Brown has been downright abysmal. Why didn't Ricky Rubio play in the Olympics this year? Feels like all of Spain's best players are old. They still have Rudy Fernandez out there. Dude has to be pushing 50 at this point.

Only reason the game was close is because Santi Adama and Segio Lllull were the splash brothers

Spain's basketball talent pool has totally dried up.

He retired.

 

[Brozay]

Giddey was undersold to us @GoldenGlove Im watching AUS v Spain now, he can play

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

He retired.

He retired from the NBA but he played in Euroleague for Barcelona this year and has a 2 year deal

 

[Voice of Reason]

Rui is so dumb defensively it's crazy

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Rui is so ass

 

[Nero Christ]

French Muslims getting behind Habib

So... Freedom of speech stops at religions ? France has aways had a culture of satire and anti clericalism, this is not the first caricature of ANY religion and it won't be the last.

Watching that live I didn't even think about the Jesus nor the Last Supper painting, it seemed more of a depiction of royal decadence, as a part of French revolution chapter...


BTW it was interesting that Marie Antoinette decapitation seemed accepted as a part of history, just other side of French revolution coin, same as the liberty and equality ideal...
Really interesting that a decapitation seems like a regular part of history for artistic inspiration...

They did this at the Grammies too, the thing you're missing is why the last supper? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The fukk does this have to do with athletics? Why not have an image of these people embracing fitness. , it's not a bout free speech it's a ritual but nobody ever gets that cause we too busy worshiping motherfukkers who show up on a tv screen
