Yeah Idk personally I think of it the same as say the Danny Mastertom thing (obviously there are degrees yeah). When he is released I hope he’s able to return to acting, and people will be able to hire him if they really want to - to their detriment re: publicity/money ofc.

I guess I’m just able to seperate the accomplishments of a person - whether in sports, film, or otherwise - from the actual person and their actions and just look at their contribution to their field. I can understand the other point of view.

I would sincerely hope if the Dutch do win beach volleyball he won’t be making commercials or featuring on cereal boxes.

The Dutch child rapist pedophile got 1 year out of an already extremely lenient 4 year sentence, doesn't show remorse, even playing the victim in some interviews.

It just rustles my jimmies that anyone thinks he should be representing their country. And not a pariah state like a Syria or something, which you might expect, but one of the richest, most connected countries in the world, in the Netherlands.

I wish I could be there to protest this. No chance at national Olympic glory for one's country should overshadow how horrifying of a message this monster's participation sends to victims of child ***ual violence.

Why have the maga fwits gone nuts over the opening ceremony?

Cause it was a very queer representation of it. I see iconic American ball kicker Harrison "I look like the guy from Handmaid's Tale, and that's a good thing" Butker has weighed in.

Watching more of the bits I missed with my son this morning and revising my cynicism. Fair dues to the lady who belted out La Marseillaise stood on a roof in the rain while holding a giant Tricolore. Hero of the games already for me.

Good start for Team GB in the hockey.

Soaked up the pressure from Spain at the start of the game and now up two goals to the good.

Just caught up on the opening ceremony. Thought it was pretty good tbf, apart from **** sound quality during Gojira. It was a refreshing change to have something different from the usual formulaic routine inside the stadium.

Australians absolutely capitulate on the last dive of the women's 3m synchro diving to throw away a medal and secure Team GB our first medal of the games

It's always the sport I watch the most of through the first few days of every Olympics - I guess because they start competing for medals so quickly.

Yeah, they always try and split it out so there's not any overlap between swimming and athletics as they're the typically the big viewer ones.

Kinda the same with Athletics. Though swimming is more enjoyable because more Australians can compete for medals.
