2024 PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES

…..Since Nicole and I decided to go south…..like southern Spain south…..I didn’t get to see a lot of the main events I wanted to see…..Spain was covering their athletes….which is normal….so I missed a lot of the gymnastics…..track & field…..and basketball…..except that bomb the USA dodged against Serbia…..and the Gold Medal game against France…..they did exactly what they needed to do……play defense…..and give the ball to Curry…..they should’ve given it more to Durant…..my man had a hot hand….and the USA women’s B-ball team dodged a bomb…..by a toe…..one things for sure…..the WNBA needs to draft a few players from the French B-ball national team…..regardless of all of that…..and the fact that Paris…..France mainly…..should never be allowed to host another Olympic event….ever again…..sad to say that’s not gonna happen…..they won the bid for 2030…..Winter Olympics…..anyway,….back to what I wanted to mention…..this Olympics will go down in history…..as the “BLACKESS OLYMPICS – EVER!”….I’ve never seen so many Black athletes win so many medals…..there were one or three or maybe I missed a few..…. “All Black” medal podiums…..I’ve been watching the games since I was a kid…..always wanted to win an Olympic gold in ultimate frisbee…..too late now…..my shoulder is shot…..but these games….did you know…..Azerbaijan had “Black people?”……because I sure as hell didn’t….Spain, Germany, France….England….Greece…..Bahrain….of course Africa……Poland….even Japan…..ok, North Korea wasn’t bumpin’ any Black folks….but you never know…..Black people!…..and yes…..you can get rid of Breakdancing…..that was so embarrassing and an insult to the artform…..that one from Australia?…..WTF was that?…..Avis Jones-DeWeever wrote….. “So it turns out this monstrosity and colonizer of the culture is actually a college professor with a PhD in cultural studies, concentrating in breakdancing…..she is the poster child for the very real difference between theory and practice…..you can read about a thing….write about a thing…even teach about a thing,….and still not know a damn thing about that thing when it’s applied to the real world…..degrees don’t impress me…..actions do”……then Rachael Gunn snapped back with this….. “Some Olympians spend their entire lives training to make history….to carve out a name for themselves…..I trained for exactly 37 minutes…..and now I’m the most famous breakdancer in the world…..my sick moves shut down an entire event…..how many Olympians can say that?”……all the French had to do was…..let “The twins” perform…..gold medal in breakdancing guaranteed…..and include “Double-Dutch” ….let the one Asian guy going around on the net compete…… that guy flipped the script on Double-Dutch rope jumping…..…..and add a bunch of kids from NYC…..climbing?…..I wasn’t feeling it so toss it…..trampoline…..why?……my mom’s better…..I was thinking they should can…..what’s it called…..Rhythmic Gymnastics……the one with the ball, ribbon and hula hoop?…..until I watched Ukraine’s Taisiia Onofriichuck do her hula hoop thing…..keep it!…..the USA women won 26 gold medals…..more than any woman’s team in a single Olympics….now let’s go with…..

MOMENTS…..women’s diving…..that was a major 0.0 diving performance by the American….the water sprinkler coming on during a field hockey game….Spain vs Morocco when two players and a ref were taken out…..horse jumping….when the two horses said….. “Nope”…..the 11-year-old skateboarder from China…..an Asian athlete draped in a South African flag……many disqualifications and controversy……people getting kicked out of the Olympic Village…..one guy because he smuggled his sister into the Olympic Village…..South Korea, North Korea and China taking a group selfie……massive pile-up in the 5000 meter run…..boats capsizing during the sailing events…..USA kicked out of the 4×100 relay…..the camera man standing in lane two during the 5000 meter run…..and my two favorites…..the French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati’s dick knocking down the bar…… and the USA mascot….Snoop…..my “D….O….double G!…..and the stadium playing Queen’s…. “We Are The Champions”.…it doesn’t get any better than that…..and I would truly…..with a very sincere heart…..like to thank the Paris Olympic committee…..for giving us….an opening and closing performance…..no one in the entire world…..fully understood…..and I would like to thank the TV commentators…..for explaining to us…..something they didn’t….fully understand…..and Tom Cruise…..has to be the only living person on planet earth…..who can get the Olympic flag to LA…..in 15 minutes…..and…..

CLASSIC…..The Cuban Judo athlete….who won his fifth gold medal…..Steph Curry deciding to shoot over two defenders…..when LeBron and Durant were wide open to pass the ball to….he’s not only one of the greatest shooter of all-time….but he’s the only player who makes that decision acceptable…..Yusuf Dikec and Kim Ye-ji….the coolest pistol shooters…..ever…..they should make a anime cartoon of those two…..24-year-old Carlos Yulo….wins a condo and food for life…..for becoming the first man from the Philippines to win a gold medal….Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles…..bowing and giving props to Rebeca Andrade after winning her gold medal…..Rebeca injured her ACL three times…..and never gave up on herself….for them to honor her drive and determination to not give up….much respect from me….it was an amazing moment of humility and sportswomanship…..and that was the first “All-Black Olympic Podium”…..100 meters final…..it doesn’t get any better than that…..Nigerian Women’s B-ball team becoming the first ever….African team (men or women) to play in an Olympic quarterfinal game….after beating Canada….the Netherlands beating out the newly-crowned USA world record holders in the mixed 4×400 relay……and last but not least…..

PHOTO OF THE YEAR…..yep,…..the one with the surfer…..one in a million shot!
