I really don't understand this. When did he become an athlete?

A Corona in one hand, a blunt on the lips, a torch in the other.
Joe talked about passing the torch!

In 1952, Eigil Nansen was the first non-athlete to light the flame. There have been others since then either nominated or appointed. In the end, these are just games. Nobody is saving lives or improving the world in any tangible way. Great use of resources.

Reminds me of an old post, Children's books that will never be written: Mr. Fork meets Mr. Toaster. |

The Paris "woke" Olympics is going to be a disaster. The people in Paris don't want it. They have a movement to get people to shite in the Seine.

Lebron James will also carry the United States flag what a fitting symbol, think of all the bullets he dodged on the court, going in the locker room was a mass of IEDS then in the locker room the hot water heater died. 🥵

Hum, I would have thought a local athlete or celebrity would carry the torch in a French Olympics. I can imagine a mime pretending to do it.  |

I know that it is a big feather in the cap to whatever country gets the chance to host the Olympics, but I think that it would be a better idea to have a permanent facility on where it is associated with… Greece?
Winter olympics held in a similar venue.

Winter olympics held in a similar venue. I always thought that would be better. It should be in Athens. Country's blow their national budgets to build these things and they are rarely used again. There are abandoned, multi-million dollar stadiums all over the world growing weeds. The people of Paris didn't want the Olympics and Paris didn't need more tourists. |

The Olympic poohbahs would never go for it. They won’t give up their power over location choice. I’m NOT saying it goes on, but the selection process is a text-book example of how corruption and graft MIGHT operate.

I don't think it's a fair comparison, Lebron James is an Olympic athlete and gold medal winner, Snoop Dog is basically a parody of himself (he did shill for hot pockets); I doubt the version of himself that wrote 'Murder was the case' could have foreseen using his image in this way but I guess the old adage of their not being a second act in an American's life is wrong. It's a questionable get for the IOC in their eternal effort to get young people to watch the games.

It goes back to this. I can't keep up. I was young once with different ideas.
