First, a big thank you to the French for going on vacation and leaving Paris to us, like an Airbnb without a security deposit.
People watch the cauldron rise at sunset by the Olympic rings during the 2024 Summer Olympics, Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, in Paris, France. PARIS –
Fencing inside the Grand Palais. Equestrian at Versailles. Skateboarding next to the Luxor Obelisk. Beach volleyball beneath the Eiffel Tower. The new blueprint: Exclusively use temporary or existing venues, add more bizarre sports to provide more television and ticket inventory, enlist 40,000 volunteers to work for free, then charge exorbitant prices for events that people would never, ever pay to see except so they can say they went to the Olympics.
They must have run out of money there, because the rest was merely aired on smallish video boards at either end of Stade de France and not performed in person. It consisted of videos of three staged musical acts at a Southern California beach: the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish and rapper Snoop Dogg, who, thanks to his work with NBC the past two weeks, suddenly has become synonymous with the Olympics.
