Why do they always go to English? I need the geopolitical reasoning for why they cater to the English language after speaking French. There's probably hundreds of athletes who don't understand the english, let alone the french. Where are the smart ppl to explain this?

French and English are the official Olympic languages

That was so incredible

I didn't think she could muster it up like that anymore. Kudos to her and that beautiful moment. Truly a top 5 singer of our lifetime.

Honestly, no one gives a fukk. Not every country revolves around Judeo-Christian values. The world is a big place.

The only difference is that France does it in the open and the far right and Christians do it on the low.

Yep. I said it.

did the live broadcast also ignore the 20 nations between the US and France?

they ignored brazil for lady gaga

They're deflectors..pedos and fags that hide behind 'conservatism' which even they can't define.

The Opening Ceremony was Satanic filth. Hard pass on that

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.

I like the scorebug they are using for basketball. Simple and out the way. Hopefully nbc uses something similar when they get the nba.

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

To sum up the opening ceremony, instead of Kathleen Kennedy Cartman saying "Put a chick in it and make lame and gay", It was "Put some trannies in it and make it lame and gay."

They tried to be edgy with the LGBTQ stuff and it fell flat.
