Paris Olympics 2024

But whites go to rap concerts despite not feeling welcome ā€¦ Itā€™s all so complex

:joy:

Riner was the face of everything in France. Iā€™d never heard of him before the opening ceremony but his big head was absolutely everywhere on French Media, TV and billboards

Ffs Iā€™m in tears here

This is spellbinding.

Sure thereā€™s Frenchmen with World Cup winners medals who donā€™t feel French.

The whole thing is mightily complicated. It can take an awful long time for immigrants to feel like they belong. Several generations. And even then itā€™s a mixed loyalty.

Not near it, most of it was boring as hell but most of them are. London and Sydney were miles better. The opening ceremony was pretty good alright.

Playing out with My Way is a suitably shit ending.

Iā€™ve to go out now and patrol the perimeter

Maybe within Paris but he wasnā€™t pushed internationally as the face of France and Paris. It was Marchand and DuPont who were pushed.

Thereā€™s massive fork lightning where I am now. Galway should have got this Olympics. Wouldnā€™t have even needed fireworks.

River - 0

At least weā€™ll always have Paris.

What a sign off from Moloney.

Less funding for horses, more funding for pommel horses.
