Being pointed out that he is not in the mens freestyle team pics today.  He good?

People are saying the opening ceremony included a version of the Last Supper featuring men in drag. If that’s true that might be why he stayed away.

Aaron not being there had nothing to do with any of that.
it was rainy and it was like a 8hr+ commitment. 



This. There are a lot of athletes who aren’t participating in the opening ceremony.

A bunch of cyclists who just finished the Tour de France aren’t doing it, either. Those guys make millions of dollars a year and are paid to manage their performance; standing for 8hrs ain’t it.

Looks good to me.  @ionel did Brooks grow a few inches?  He's finally taller than Spencer!

Idk those look like 2 to 3" lifts.  Regardless he's still too short.

How many wrestlers did the opening ceremonies?  So far I've seen Paris and Lee.  I know how it felt to walk into the parade of champions at our state tournament...  I cannot imagine passing on the Olympics...but maybe I'm weird.

... and  even now... again, with the news.

Aaron Brooks, STILL... does not lift.

And now... news for wombats!

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

He's locked in a way i've never seen before. Wow. Skipping the opening ceremony which for most athletes is the whole point of going to the olympics. He's going to make mince meat of yazdani

Thanks for sharing this. I missed that on the broadcast. But I'm pretty sure I saw a quick cut of Dake doing the USA chant on the boat. Anyone else see it?

Doesn't want to commit 8 hours?  Confusing since he doesn't wrestle until August 8.

Yeah, lame to skip out on that.

 Is he hurting anyone by not participating?

It bothers me more seeing half the USA soccer team not acknowledging the national anthem when every other team does for their country.  No one is forcing them to play for the US, just say no.

That football player really started some great stuff.  🤨

Lol yazdani didn't go either. He was in a hyperbaric chamber meditating his win.

I am pretty sure I saw Coon, Dake and Bey in addition to Parris in the Opening Ceremonies - I did not see Lee myself.

The marketing of US Soccer as an avant garde politicos is "cringe" (apologies, I have a tween). The half-assed appropriation and misreadings of the Frankfurt School family tree is one reason folks justifiably mock them. As someone one who arrived on the left by moving all the way through the anarcho-capitalist right, it's embarrassing.

Update: Apparently the scene at issue was a depiction of The Feast of Dionysius.

This is the comparison some peeps are griping about.  I’ve read about the Dionysus angle too…. We used to celebrate Dionysus in college…. Basically a big party.  Don’t remember that part lol
