The Olympics Thread, London 2012, Games of the XXX Olympiad, 27th July - 12th August

China has one of the worst human rights records in the world, according to the UN, amnesty international etc. It wasn't really Panorama going out on a limb with vague allegations. If anything it was swept under the carpet during the games. And from what I've heard, the opening ceremony at London embraces parts of the darker history of London, something which China would never do.

I love the olympics me. If footballers showed half the grace and dedication of some of the athletes in the Olympics it would be a much better sport.

Oh don't get me wrong, I agree with that, but all this fake positivity and how it will inspire youngsters crap, when funding is only for elite athletes who a large percent went to public schools makes me a bit sick.

Honestly tho, as I put in the OP i hope it is a good games

 

[turner]

yeah, i agree with you on that. The world's not going to be full of rainbows and unicorns cos some eastern european beastwoman chucks a metal ball slightly further than some other eastern european grok. Most of the fat, chair-moistening, pork bags that make up our population wouldn't get off their sofa if it was aflame, never mind because they feel inspired by some romanian toddler fanny about on a pommel horse.

Many Olympians have to work a lot, lot harder and got a lot, lot less in return.

That breeds a more humble and respectable kind of person than a sport that makes many unproven kids just out of school millionaires within a year.

I agree there mate. you don't become Bolivia's champion steeplechaser for the money. Maybe the poontang though.

The Bolivian Steeplechasing fanbase really is a smorgasbord of top notch foof.

Never been too arsed about the Olympics. It's a strange one, as the occasion itself outweighs any of the actual sport involved in it. I'm not really going to join in with all the hype purely because I'm not a follower of 95% of the sports in it, but I will enjoy watching some of it on tv.

Also, the logo has to be the worst one of all time.

How was this allowed?

After someone pointed out, pretty much as soon it was unveiled, that it looks like Lisa Simpson sucking someone off that's all I can see.

I've got tickets to table tennis and volleyball (regular, not the sexual version)
I wouldn't go and watch these normally, maybe it'll open my mind. My wife is a genuine asian, and they're boss at Table Tennis, so maybe with her genetics I will pressure-cooker any future offspring into being table tennis champs based on inspiration from the Olympics.

I DUNNO HOW PEOPLE COULD CARRY TODAY WITH THEIR DAY TO DAY LIVES WITH ALL THIS FURY

Opening ceremony: they're kicking off with a farm in the middle of the track.

Marvelous.

Someone mentioned this in another thread, but grown up Lisa in her wedding episode would get smashed all over the show.

 

[daza_1973]

On Bbc 5 live - they dropped a massive hint that ynwa song will pollute the opening ceremony at some point *vomits*.
I'm praying this isn't true and if it is I'm bewildered how this fits into the Olympics.
Is Danny Boyle a Kopite by any chance ???

If it is I will hunt down Seb Coe and beat his square head in for allowing it to happen
