It’s for the children and the planet and fake libtard climate change it shouldn’t be a problem for any of them to suck it up
And this is why I never ever go back home unless it’s freezing.
Americans are such weaklings. My family, and other families here on the West Coast never had AC in our homes, and still don't. It gets hot, we open windows. When traveling elsewhere, if the hotel has AC we turn it off. People we know that use AC are always getting sick.
The French have always been like this. Napoleon insisted on Josephine not washing her sweaty nether regions after a days work so he could feast on the whiff of delights.
All the overweight black women would pass out.
why do you think the French wear so much perfume?
LOL...so they are recreating Napoleon and Josephine for the randy young athletes?
Yes, they are delighted by the odorous possibilities.
Paris can get as hot and humid as Calcutta in the summer. Paris ain’t the West Coast of the US.
true there was no ac in those days...but the competing athletes were also naked so there is that.
Exactly.
They’ll smell like the French after a week. Confiscate the deodorant at the customs check.
“For over a thousand years, the Olympics were “sustainable” and “green,” but the modern Olympics are massive displays of excess and international political competition.”
National Socialist German Workers Party NSDAP brought the lions share of the pageantry to the games in 1936. And it stuck.
It is not comfortable in Paris without AC in the summer time. Good luck
yup...
My family and I spent ten days in Paris in July just before I turned 14.
Our hotel was lovely and it had no A/C, but I don’t remember being uncomfortable.
I hope they have several trailer-truck loads of Right Guard, it is going to get stinky.
Lots of Parisians also have no refrigerator in their home. Or if they do, it’s only a small one. Because they only buy perishables from the grocer on the way home from work the day they intend to prepare them. But that’s the way their culture is set up, and their grocery store infrastructure. They’re a nation of “foodies.”
The Tour de France historically starts on the first weekend in July, so I too have been to in Paris in July. Several times. Most of the time the weather wasn’t unpleasant, but not always. One year I cheaped out and picked a hotel in Paris with no aircon because its rates were less insane than the rest.
The problem with no aircon is it makes sleeping with the windows open mandatory. The problem with sleeping with the windows open ... is noise. And sometimes odors.
World-class athletes performing on the largest stage of their lives need to be able to get their rest, which usually happens right after the orgies wind down. It would be a pity to louse up their chances because they couldn’t sleep for the noise. Or the heat. And leaving windows open also poses a security risk, especially since window screens aren’t mandatory in Parisian homes either.
It’s a bad idea all around but whoever let it get this far without making certain the athletes had accommodations that met a certain standard is an idiot.
I think all of Europe is further north (and cooler) than most Americans imagine. The southernmost point in continental Europe is at about the same latitude as Ok City. Galveston is about 670 miles south of that.
Paris is on the 48th Parallel. The majority of the US-Canada border is on the 49th Parallel, so Paris is about 70 miles south of that.
