The Paris Olympic Games are, according to those who were lucky enough to attend the events, a great success.

But the atmosphere is not to everyone’s taste, and an American specialist expressed his disappointment on ESPN.

From a popular point of view, these Olympic Games are a huge success.

Because the French delegation has never been so good and so enthusiastic, the atmosphere in the country is very different from the one that reigned before the opening ceremony.

It will not last forever, that’s obvious, but these two weeks of national osmosis are good.

Moreover, those who were lucky enough to go to Paris to attend this great sports festival know how sweet the capital is at the moment.

All nationalities mix, talk to each other, have fun, like in a big athletic Disneyland.

But clearly, these celebrations are not to everyone’s taste, especially among Americans…

An ESPN journalist destroys the French organization
Brian Windhorst, the famous ESPN journalist, is in Paris to follow the adventures of Team USA up close, and he was struck by the French mentality.

Clearly, these Olympic Games are not capitalist enough for the best-informed man in the NBA microcosm.

He spoke live on TV with some pretty strong words.

I don’t know if it’s a French thing, but I have the impression that they are not interested in maximizing profits.

First of all, they don’t sell alcohol at events.

Not at all. Some people think it makes the competition healthier, but someone who works for the Los Angeles Games organization tells me that it’s a loss of tens of millions of dollars.

But even without that… There’s a problem with the merchandise.

I’m not the type to buy souvenirs in stores, but it’s a shame. There are only a few stores, and those that are open have limited hours.

In France, to see the entire Olympic Games, you have to buy HBO Max… But there’s not a single ad for this service on TV or radio! The French are not interested in money.

The United States is the country of capitalism, here’s new proof.

For this renowned ESPN journalist, France is not trying hard enough to make money off the backs of tourists and spectators.

He would like to see shops open 24/7, and especially alcohol in the stadiums… If the atmosphere is so good and the excesses so few, it is nevertheless thanks to this decision.

This criticism of the Paris Olympic Games suggests that those in Los Angeles in 2028 will be very different.

The goal for the organization will be to amortize the costs as much as possible, so there should be a huge race for consumption.
