The Olympics are without honor because we as a society are moving farther and farther from anything honorable.

Lyles pulled what is known as The Loser’s Limp.

What a low-life move. Gutless crybaby. I wouldn't be surprised if he returns in 2028 to box as a woman. He seems to have the character for it.

The West has replaced honor with pride. And it's sick.

Honor lies in the athlete that performs with sincerity and dedication to earn their rewards. Katie Ledecky deserves more recognition for her honor and dedication. Four Gold medals in four Olympics. Quite the accomplishment. Time to recognize the true honorable athletes.

The Olympics is only the most recent public display of the lack of normality in the world. I've lived a very long and varied life, the only conclusion I can arrive at is that paranormal spiritual forces have insinuated themselves in our formerly civilized world. It is eating the heart out of our public discourse. Satan has taken hold and now men can have babies and children can choose their gender day by day. And we will have politicians who will guarantee their right to do so.

Its more. There is a desire to be God. A desire to control everything and that includes genetic control. Cotrol over life and death.

In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make Men without Chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” – C.S. Lewis, Author of the Book “The Abolition of Man”.

“I am very doubtful whether history shows us one example of a man who, having stepped outside traditional morality and attained power, has used that power benevolently.” ― C.S. Lewis

Many do not understand the concept of personal honor. Too shallow to grasp it much less demonstrate it.

Gender Identification 101

If you have a penis, you are male. If you have a vagina, you are female. If you are disappointed in your physical gender, nexr trip to Earth, choose a different gender. Meantime, the chemicals we have been bombarded with are causing all kinds of suffering and illness and cross-gender issues in animals. Somehow, in Humans, this becomes a moral issue. It isn't. Join with others to clean up ourselves & our planet and stop the profit-seeking behavior in developing and using chemical products. Don't buy sprays, lotions, perfumes, etc. Go basic.

I would bet the Algerian waxed his face and chest every day while competing. I'd like to see him in two months after the press has lost interest.

The Olympics iIs ruined for many, including myself. I WILL NEVER WATCH. The atfack on gender is an attack on Humans which the anti- Humans desire to eliminate so they can have Humans under their genetic and entire control and develop tra b shamans who are controlled. Alert. This is NOT ABOUT SCIENCE. THIS IS ABOUT World DOMINANCE. ABOUT TOTAL CONTROL BY A FEW. ABOUT CONSIDATED POWER instead of POWER BY THE PEOPLE.

Honour is a culturally coded concept, or idea, so it differs between peoples. What is honourable to a kurdish clan in the mountains of Turkey is sometimes something you'd call abhorable.

F.e murdering your own daughter for suspecting her of having sex before marriage.

To the algerian and the chinese, beating the westerner counts for more than anything else, and the whole notion of trans-whatever and the rest of the post-WW2 idiocy of the cult of rights and equality?

It's just a weakness to exploit, and what westerners feel or think of them doing so doesn't count, since westerners don't count in their value-system anyway.

Thankfully I have not watched a single second of this spectacle. Not even reposted video clips. There is already too much disgusting debauchery polluting our daily lives.

"Running around the track like a madman" before a race doesn't seem like a smart thing to do.

They ban Russia, but not Israel. Dishonorable indeed.

If Lyles really had Covid, why was he not wearing a mask and social distancing like a good, obedient drone? Or is Covid no longer the deadly disease that killed millions and against which the shot (I stopped counting at 7 “boosters”) is 100% effective. Or was it 95%? Or maybe some other number? Anyway it was the Holy Water that kept us safe and protected our democracy.

In any case, he should be stripped of his medals for putting his fellow athletes, and the entire country of France, at risk from that horrible, deadly disease. He probably never even got vaccinated, that filthy sub-human.

Romania would agree with you since their gymnast Ana Barbosu thought she'd won bronze but then got knocked into fourth place when USA disputed Jordan Chiles' score.

I too was sickened by the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics, to the point of not watching any of the coverage. And I was darn well looking forward to watching the Olympics, so this was a real disappointment! I was PISSED!!

However, lets not forget the HONORABLE displays of guts and courage. Quincy Hull and Cole Hocker were awesome, showing Olympian effort in winning their gold medals. The emotion showed by Scottie Scheffler was real. In these days we must look for the true golden moments and treasure them.
