Summer Olympic Games 2016 Ceremonies


Recommended Posts

Israeli team was going to the bus to take them to the ceremony and turned out they were assigned same bus as Lebanon.   The Lebanese athletes demanded the driver would close the door and the head of the Lebanese delegation blocked the driver from letting our athletes on!!   They had to call a special bus to take our guys to the maracana

I hate Israel politically but that was a petty, petty move from Lebanon. Goes totally against the Olympic Movement. These athletes are not the ones opressing Palestine. Take aim at the politicians, sure, but take athletes as athletes and make their sporting performance the only think that matters.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold
