2024 Summer Olympics

He will definitely be an entertaining aspect of the Olympics coverage. The irony of him carrying the torch is hilarious to me, just as the fact that the torch was shaped a like a big fat joint was. 

Let the games begin

Epic!  I also like shots of Flavor Flav as the Hype Man for the water polo team.

You mean the tribute to the Greek god Dionysus-the Greek god of celebration? The Olympics were founded in Greece you know, in celebration of the god Zeus. Almost 800 years before Christ was born. Oh, you didn't know? Neither did a lot of other pearl clutchers.

That was sad.  Guess the Paris Olympics Organizers have issued an apology.  Whether they mean it or not...not sure.

No...I think most of the issue was with the mockery of the Lord's Supper...

There was no mockery of the Lord's Supper. Do some homework.

How were the drag queens mocking Christianity? Were they burning bibles?

Flavor Flav!!!

How about keeping the political stuff to Muda's OOB forum? There are FAR more great moments to celebrate and enjoy with athletes and teams than there is about interpretations of one aspect of the opening ceremonies.
