What an unfriendly enviromental opening ceremony, the athletes were on gas powered boats and didn't walk, freaking hypocrites.

They were saying the Seine was high in E-coli, so it’s going to affect some events. We all know what that means, all the invader 3rd world immigrants are crapping in the river, that’s what it means.

The photos weren't as spectacular as I thought they would be. I see bad weather and a lot of raincoats. The French put on a lame show.

I happened to catch some of the opening ceremony, and I remember seeing a man doing some sort of Parkour on the rooftops of Paris, and ended up standing on top of the Notre Dame Cathedral holding the Olympic torch. He was dressed in middle eastern garb, with a full mask headdress, holding a flame, on top of the Cathedral. I mean, how fitting, an Islamic-esque figure with his instrument of destruction on Notre Dame.

Le Bron James leading the Americans carrying an American flag, Steve Kerr and basketball player Curry get to Paris and endorse Kamala. I’ll pass on the Olympics and stick to baseball.

Does anyone else recall the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympics that promoted government takeover of healthcare to propagandize to Americans?

Once upon a time, as a youth, I was a huge fan of the Olympics.

I went to the Munich Olympics, 1972.

No longer a fan.

There have been a litany of events over the years sanctioned by the Olympic Committee that has ruined my Interest in the Olympics.

Big Sports Sucks.

I was actually excited to see this.

It really is a cool concept.

But, I think the execution could have been handled much better. Not over 3 miles, for starters.

This underlines the fact that too much emphasis has been placed more and more on catering to TV audiences. I’m starting to think if you get a ticket to opening ceremonies, you are being ripped off. You’re sitting in one area and will hardly see anything, except those damn JumboTrons they think are substitutes for direct viewing. If I wanted to see it on TV I’d stay home.

This could’ve had so much potential.

Comments on other aspects would take too much time. I can write a whole column about this.

BTW, nothing is as bad as England celebrating its socialized medicine in its stadium.

> What an unfriendly environmental opening ceremony… <

That was my first thought as well. Think of how small the carbon footprint would be if all events were held virtually, with the athletes sitting at home in front of a computer. For example, this could be the ski-jump competition:

Do it, Olympic committee. Do it to save the Erf!
