Paris Olympics

Well sure, yeah, if you look at it from the point of view of the athlete who actually accomplished the task and has to train long and hard to get there, with or without financial resources. But if you stop for a second to think about the hipsters at home on their couches, then we have to find a way to make it about them and how much better they are than the people actually doing things.

TBF, it takes a lot of work to be that edgy.

I get this is a semijoke, but nothing gets me in the feels more than watching how much it means to people to earn their first medal in a sport for a country. Or seeing their flag and hearing their anthem and fighting back tears.

They added Ophiuchus, right?

Fine, then birth months. We Aquarians will take the pool hit since we're at least 31/28ths better than the rest of you.

Bad news. There's a #14. It's Cetus. For a fraction of a second of arc.

You must compete for your birth sign!!!!you can’t be making it up! We can’t have TRANSASTROLOGICALS in sports!!!!!

The time in space-time we were accidentally born has as much meaning as the place in space-time we were accidentally born.

Get rid of countries in the Olympics. Have athletes compete under their astrological sign. 12 balanced teams; everybody has an allegiance; no patriot-nationalist poison.

And the orthodox loonies will think it's Satanic.

Fine, then birth months. We'll take the pool hit (Aquarians) since we're at least 31/28ths better than the rest of you.

I had to look up#14. It's Cetus. For a fraction of a second of arc.

I don’t think they officially added it, truth be told. But regardless, the sun’s location when we were born was roughly one sign off. It was all set up roughly 2000 years ago and the celestial grid wobbles around on a 26000 year cycle.

[Kepler]

There’s 13 signs now, and the sign everyone thinks they are is actually off by one.

CHAOS REIGNS

I think we’re on the fifth appeal/reverse appeal for gymnastics. Now the US says CAS used the wrong email address so they didn’t get certain information in adequate time.

He definitely improved as the tourney went on. That first game was brutal, though.

"I know him personally. His pronouns are he/him" had me in stitches.

[Spartanforlife4]

This is so wrong. He was the highlight of the entire Olympics for me.

Dwyane Wade putting up one of the worst color commentator performances of all time. This is awful.

[Jimjamesak]

Tyreek Hill believes he could beat Noah Lyles in a race.

A breakdown.

tl;dw even on his best ever time recorded he would struggle.

[Russell Jaslow]

I am shocked! Shocked!



Ok, not that shocked.

The fact they have video evidence the protest was filed in 53 seconds, and that secondary information was summarily dismissed by CAS who refused to relook at the case and this information, is going to have the higher European appeals court easily throw out the CAS decision. If logic prevails...
