HBO’s Bill Maher slammed cancel culture at the Tokyo Olympics, going after a “woke” attitude at the Games.

“Please don’t turn the Olympics into the Oscars,” the comedian and liberal commentator said during Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher.” “Oh, what was that? They did already?”

“You know, back in April, when the Oscars aired, I commented in this space that the theme of that evening was ‘We dare you to be entertained’ — lest your mind waver from thinking about the sad things and bad people in the world,” Maher said.

“Well, thank God we found some of those bad people now in the Olympics, and not a moment too soon,” he continued.

Too little, too late, you useful idiot.

[Robert DeLong]

Bill, Bill, Bill, your stupidity is the cause for the wokeness movement you now mock.

[dfwgator]

Exactly. I’m not impressed.

[Billthedrill]

He’s right about one thing concerning “woke” sports in general - “We’re here to celebrate athletic excellence but first let’s think about something more important” is at the least very poor salesmanship.

The fool doesn’t even realize he’s mocking himself.

[Obadiah]

Boy, isn't that the truth.

The Pied Piper of woke is suddenly proclaiming too much wokness. You can't make this up.

You asked for it, you got it, Toyota.

Must be really bad for them to lose Bill Maher.

Cal Worthington and his dog Spot

[Republican Wildcat]

It’s difficult to take him seriously when he has contributed to this mentality for so many years himself.

[RckyRaCoCo]

He’ll eat a bug...

[Paradox]

What’s funny is that his audience sometimes doenst know when to laugh or clap. His audience is lost.....

[Miguk]

Bill's sudden and recently inexplicable social epiphany is a lie.

Controlled Opposition.

Just the so-called Elites trying to placate that segment of "conservatives" who still watch that sh*t on TV.

Bill Maher and his ilk are scared of the monster they helped create. I guess BM isn't as high up on the Liberal Food Chain as he thought . . .

“Please don’t turn the Olympics into the Oscars,” the comedian and liberal commentator said during Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher.” “Oh, what was that? They did already?”

Too late - don't watch the Oscars anymore and not watching the Olympics anymore either... the spoiled brats wokesters of today are ruining it for the next generation of athletes... It's sad.
