US team has already left to go and sleep. Can't blame them.

It's kind of a crappy thing to do.

Most of the countries stick around for the entire thing, just because you were forced to go early and not at the very end it's kind of petty to bail.

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

You have got to be fucking kidding me NBC.

 

[bomma_man]

Because in the 1920s and 30s countries (specifically the US and Australasia) banned non-white immigrants. And with the end of feudalism Japanese workers needed somewhere to go, and Brazil needed workers

Australia's ban lasted until the 70s too. Smh.

 

[Mesousa]

Parade of nations here we go.....after this story.


Dammit.

You guys are years behind.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Oh my god, fuck it. I can't take these commercials anymore.

 

[Cormano]

Don't they do well in boxing?

Yes, boxing and football are Mexico's top sports.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Those was a Hella short opening.

Unless NBC cut half of it.

 

[Mesousa]

If I were competing - and had a chance to win - I wouldn't even go to the parade, but if I did, I would leave right after. People will party until the early morn, for sure. You need rest o compete at your best. Can't blame people who are competing, especially tomorrow.

If I were a scrub with no chance of placing though, I would be partying it up right now.

 

[Mesousa]

Niger and Nigeria are always next to each other lol.

The people who watch the Olympics are not particularly sports fans. More women watch the games than men, and for the women, they're less interested in the result and more interested in the journey. It's sort of like the ultimate reality show and miniseries wrapped into one.

Money.

I changed the channel, cant take the commercials.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

That Norway uniform looks horrendous as fuck.

 

[Tempy]

Namibia used to be a German colony.

 

[MIMIC]

NBC: Up next, the march of nations!

Do you believe us yet?????

edit: OK, finally. lol

 

[Jamie OD]

That New Zealand cape.

Lmao the fact this is a real quote is the worst part.

 

[Disxo]

Germany had colonies?

Because they have a monopoly on the olympic games here. They paid a shitload of money for it and want to make some of that money back through commercials. I blame the USOC, IOC, and NBC for giving the Americans this sorry excuse of a coverage.

 

[Arcana Wiz]

Those was a Hella short opening.

Unless NBC cut half of it.

There will be more shows after the athletes entrance

 

[Hoo-doo]

FUCK YEAH THE NETHERLANDS

 

[Tempy]

NETHERLANDS

edit: wat, no orange?

 

[Pedrito]

New Zealand will be the talk of these games. They have a super strong team despite the small population.

 

[Thelonelykoopa]

Fuck all these ads !!

 

[SilentRacoon]

What are Mexico's biggest hopes?

They usually stand out (Of the top of my head) in diving, archery, football, boxing, and hell even Taekwondo.

 

[jcjimher]

Don't tell me The Netherlands will come at T? What's it called in Portugese?

I don't know Portuguese but I guess at P (from países bajos)

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Germany had colonias?

Ever wonder why Tsingtao makes beers?

Damn, y'all need to learn history

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Aw yiss!

 

[Mesousa]

Namibia used to be a German colony.

Didnt know they stuck around though lol. I thought they went full Rhodesian flight.

 

[JohnTH]

I take it official streams like this one from Portugal are geo-blocked, right?

 

[Delio]

Guess I will watch the parade of nations on the time delay now >_>

Can you see this? My country streams it free of charge for all through the internet lol

If Rugby 7s proves to be a hit then New Zealand will get a lot of attention.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

I'm scared that NBC are just going to skip over Puerto Rico in the parade during one of their fucking commercials. Please don't...

 

[JessicaDay]

Go Team NL!

 

[Brazil]

VAI PALESTINA!

 

[gutter_trash]

Portugal says Holanda
Brazil says Países Baixos


LoL another difference learned

 

[Nielm]

I'm looking forward to seeing Andy Murray and the rest of Team GB.

But it makes no sense. If you have to wait until the end 99% of the time to be announced, you'd be there just as long as if you were introduced in the beginning.
