#OpeningCeremony I know damn well France ain't got this 100yo man sitting in the damn rain at night!!!! Nah, the whole directorial team needs to be run out of the town.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

#OpeningCeremony Serena and Carl should've waited 4 more years to have a torch moment they're worthy of at the LA games.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

Is that the dancing sign language interpreter from the Super Bowl? The one that the deaf community loathed #OpeningCeremony

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

@sjlovelysvt She's Canadian.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

@EvertonHel That's exactly what I expect and she isn't even French.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

#OpeningCeremony Optics-wise, this French guy standing under an umbrella someone else is holding while all the athletes stand in the rain ain't quite giving unity.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

The best part of the #OpeningCeremony is watching the Brits and the French act out their age-old rivalry on this app.

beijing 2008 is the goat

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

@WUTangKids best part.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

@oppositejohn It's a new staple for the Olympics. Japan did it too.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

#OpeningCeremony shows me all the countries my black ass may be able to visit that aren't in the Caribbean or Africa. Azerbaijan had a melanated queen on their boat. Lemme go check them out.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

@Allophile The cosmos were on the French public's side. They didn't want these games.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

#OpeningCeremony Why'd no one tell me Vin Diesel was French or that he was starting a rap career?!?!

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

#OpeningCeremony I expect more from a country that has raped, pillaged, and oppressed half the globe.

@AnyFoot_ thank you for pointing this out, because in the US, our commentators aren't explaining anything to us.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

#OpeningCeremony Why did Lady Gaga perform? I thought only talent from the home country got stage time. Or am I just late to learn she's French?

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

#OpeningCeremony I'm sure all the protesters are thrilled that it's storming right now. Or is this everyday weather for Paris?

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

@coco_fresh I literally started a subscription just so I could watch what I thought was going to be an informative version of the ceremony. Irked beyond measure.

[Nierie @RootsNReality]

NBC Commentary isn't enlightening anything. Who is the torchbearer? Which buildings are being performed at? How are they important? I'm sure I'm missing important symbolism because they're not explaining shit to non-French folks. #OpeningCeremony
