Where Gojira?

I would have used the headless singer to represent the opening ceremony.

That shot of Franz Wagner dunking through three French players would have been nice…

What's the one bottom left corner? What's up with the opposing team in their uniforms?

Some cultures allow women to cover their bodies. While others allowed them to show as much as they'd like.

Some cultures allow women to cover their bodies. While others allowed them to show as much as they’d like. Oh they're allowed to cover themselves? They're forced to wear it.

A truly insane way of phrasing repression - I guess Jews in nazi Germany were allowed to wear a star of david? No, I don't care how liberating some women say the enforced coverings are, when there isn't a choice - it's repression. Plain and simple. Try being a woman in saudi wearing normal clothing in public and see how permissive the regime is.

Ok but like, how is it any better to force them to wear skimpy bikinis they don't want to wear? Is it not better for the regulating body to offer choice to everyone, rather than enforcing coverage or non-coverage that will inevitably upset someone?
