Title: olympics

Great to watch.  Even the commercials are tasteful

Congratulations to Mr Phelps.

However I couldn't help notice that he appears to have all the physical traits of Marfan's syndrome (like Larry Bird):

Anyone watch any of the boxing? The scoring system and officiating leaves so much to be desired that the fights are devolving into some sort a game of school yard tag. Very little in a martial vein going on in most bouts, rather a lot of clenching, bicycling around, and pot shotting. Put some long ribbons in the boxer's hands and call it arhythmic gymnastics.

Oughta watch a couple bouts just for the train wreck factor. It's the martial arts and crafts ethos taken to its logical extreme.

angry lesbian's soccer

as they go on to promote themselves and make more money playing a game then an entire neighborhood makes all year.

from the first sentence of the wikipidia article I posted  :-D

"The 2024 Summer Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'été de 2024), officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (French: Jeux de la XXXIIIe Olympiade) and commonly known as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 in France, with Paris as the main host city and 16 other cities spread across metropolitan France, plus one subsite in Tahiti"
