2024 Olympics Wrestling (merged)

It’s only a guess, but I have a feeling he’s really kind of leaning into the “just another competition” mindset, and probably is trying to avoid unnecessary distractions from that.

Who knows though, maybe he has a cold or something. I don’t think it’s a religious reason at all.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Before people jump on me, I'm not judging at all. The only time I've seen this is when people are competing the next day like Katie Ledecky this year. I'm genuinely curious.

Not jumping, I had no idea. To each their own, but if I was an olympian I would be 100% walking or in this case boating.

Random thought but it's raining there, maybe Brooks didn't want to get rained on and possibly get sick, some people are very particular tbh.

But this is clearly a ploy for attention since he's jealous of all that DT gets right @js8793

I'm getting word DT was spotted outside the arena with a banana peel. AB one step ahead once again.

 

[Pennstate1985]

Alittle strange why he wouldn’t want to experience that. I love AB but some things just are bizarre with him.

maybe he is afraid of terrorism

More than a few people don't like pomp and pageantry. All business all the time.

 

[pish69]

Any ideas why Brooks doesn't want to participate in the opening ceremonies? He doesn't compete soon. Some sort of religious reason maybe?

Being Christian doesn’t preclude you from opening ceremonies. You truly have a hard on for AB don’t you? I mean seriously..there’s a multitude of reasons it could be. Who cares?

 

[amattaro]

AB fixing to send his second gold medalist to retirement. Whatever it takes.

because it’s interesting.

btw, seeing the rain he might have made a good call!

 

[bourbon n blues]

This might be part of his decision.

Maybe it was due to religious reasons. They're in France, where there's a huge population of Muslims. Perhaps a threat was made and it was safest to keep him out.

Pole dancing competition.

 

[FatWoodchuck]

Embarrassing, really. On a good note glad it's not just US.

I'm not nearly as dialed into my faith as AB. But I'd take a pass on that absurdity as well.

 

[js8793]

Do I get an apology for speculating about religious reasons? @pish69

I was wondering if he wanted to wear his 100% Jesus headband and was refused, but maybe heard they were doing a Last Supper reference.

I highly doubt this. HIs profile isn't nearly big enough. However, France does have rules about wearing religious imagery in public, so that could be a potential clash.

It would be funny if it was just about the rain though. I didn't know it was raining when I first asked. All I saw was that he wasn't walking on twitter and went to ask the people I thought might know why.

 

[PAwrestling]

Eff the Olympics. Am still gonna watch the wrestling though lol.

The part with Gojira was absolutely incredible.

If you saw that shit show of an opening ceremony, I wouldn't be completely shocked if Brooks weren't on a plane back home right now. Disgraceful, disrespectful, and simply sad.

I’d help him pay for the ticket .

Just sit back and watch man. It's entertaining.

Definitely good entertainment for all ages. Gather the little ones and watch the show as a big happy family!

Yikes. Hope that's not the case. Did you read that somewhere?

We did. Kids are fine

Blind in more facets than wrestling commentary I see

 

[Sportfan2017]

I did not watch the ceremonies, so I'll have to watch the news to find out if and why I am offended

 

[ss7]

I must have missed the satanic parts.

 

[AtownPoke]

The whole thing was rampant with mockery and the spirit of the anti christ.

I legit can't tell if you're being serious or not.

Was it the heavy metal? The assassins creed guy? Celine Dion?

I think it was the drag queens parodying the Last Supper, but as an atheist, what do I know?

The opera singer was impressive.

 

[nerfstate]

France gonna French. NBD.

 

[El-Jefe]

The biggest news out of tonight is that anyone still watches the Olympics Opening Ceremony.

 

[The Shelter]

Celine Dion may have saved the day. Spectacular.

Mocking Christian rituals is part of the Satanic religion. It’s literally right from their playbook.

There’s no need to put anything quasi-religious and something like this, there’s no need to have drag queen doing something like this, and an open ceremony, in fact, there’s no need for opening ceremony nonsense.

It is directly mocking a Christian ritual, the holy communion. You don’t want to see that that’s OK, but I’m not watching any Olympic stuff. I’ll get the results and be able to watch it down the road on some YouTube channel.

Check out video of the opening ceremonies of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in England. Looks to me like they brought back Baal and worshipping of the "beast" in that one... although they do it under the veil of slavery and oppression. Thank you but think I can and will get carried. As a Christian I'm taught of this happening more and more the closer to the end of days. Now go ahead and mock me for my beliefs. I'm taught that will happen more and more as well...

Who would have thought the hawk fans sided with the drag queens? Times certainly are tough in Iowa
