Basically, the god of partying, which is a big part of the Olympics. It's a nod to the Greek heritage of the Olympics and the people who are offended by it, are looking for something to be offended by.

FrostyWinnipeg Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 (edited) Several athletes at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, including five Australian water polo players and a British swimmer, have tested positive for COVID, according to officials. The uptick in cases has raised questions around the measures in place to stop the spread of COVID at the Olympics. Olympic surfer shares athlete’s accommodations on cargo ship almost 10,000 miles away from Paris. Edited July 30 by FrostyWinnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those atheletes better hope someone helps them defect while they are in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
