New Zealand vs S Africa Rugby game was insane

 

[T-Boone]

I’ve got Australia totally dominating the USA in the pool. Your women are ugly.

Everything has been on USA so far

Is the Peacock app not working for anyone else? Thank goodness this isn’t an ND game

Amazing how quick they are compared to the NCAA.

Well the Olympic Committee does have a "little" credibility.

Thoughts on that Opening ceremony?

Thought it was cool for the most part with some "wtf why?" added in.

France, a nominally Catholic country, chose this display to welcome viewers around the world.

Popped all my enthusiasm for the games like a balloon.

Mocking the last supper. That's always nice.

 

[Bishop2b5]

I'm not at all religious, but no need to be intentionally offensive. That is just disgusting on multiple levels.

What. The. Fuck.

 

[irishnd31]

I mean the gal pictured looks like she’s had several Last Suppers and lunches and some high calorie breakfasts.

 

[irishnd31]

And btw ulukinatme, don’t screw any of them….😂😂😂😂

i just upgraded to peacock premium so i can watch multiple events and the site seems to work on my computer but maybe others are having trouble also

 

[laughingirish90]

What. The. Fuck.

it is the times we live in i guess where trannies are acceptable like it or not and jews aren't

Does premium allow you to watch more events?

 

[Blazers46]

I say we call their bluff and tell them it was their last supper. Fat They/Them Jesus wouldn’t be happy.

Can you imagine the conversions at that dinner table…. “want to nail me after dinner and see if I res-erect”…

I love that we have not only normalized the behavior but normalized mocking Jesus on the world stage. And if Christians try to defend themselves they hate gays. Things are sort backward these days, pun intended.

Fast forwarded through most of the singing stuff. Lighting of the torch was pretty cool. Time for some sports!

yes you'll have several channels to watch several events

Don’t let it. It’s just a sports event. I’m going to enjoy it for that. Most events are stupid but about 15 or 20 will be great.

 

[ozzman]

Gojira was amazing

 

[irishff1014]

It’s a waste of time anymore. You had a basketball team that hates the county it is representing on the court. They should end the Olympics after those is year.

 

[calvegas04]

Flag football will be in the next Summer Olympics in LA.

Side note... I wish the Olympic athletes at least for some of the smaller sports would be supported by the government. The US seems to be getting less medals each Olympics by tougher competition.

Thought the opening ceremonies were largely cool. Like the idea of having the parade of nations on vehicles. Made it drag much less. I thought the visual of the painting characters leaving their frames to watch the procession from the Louvre windows were really cool.

I don't have much of an issue with the Last Supper thing but can understand why it might rankle some. The iconography used isn't from the literal last supper attended by Christ, but from a popular painting in the 1500s painted by what was reportedly a very gay man. It's not a holy relic.

Excited for the games and that people are talking about this as the controversy and not some human rights abuses being committed by the host country.

Also think having the flame hovering is neat.

I agree, I assume the LA Olympics will have a very tame Opening Ceremony after this one.

Bro, you couldn’t just leave it be incredibly divisive? Did you really have to bring logic and history to this conversation. Boring. And how dare you say da Vinci was….

Add to the fact that The French have given zero fucks for centuries about other people’s delicate sensibilities. Totally on point.
