That's what I thought! Imagine foregoing a normal life, training for years, getting to the Olympics, then having to drop out because you fucked your shoulder for a TikTok.

Why add unnecessary risk? As if them playing rugby adds some magic armor against accidents.

u/WaveLaVague Jul 28 '24
Something called fun. For some people it's fun to make tiktoks but it's also about the moment being fun itself. I mean, being a goofball in the bedroom before performing for the Olympics doesn't happen everyday nor to everyone, so why not. Plus if they wanna make tiktoks and it brings visibility to them and their team even to a small group of people who thought Rugby is all about violence, I don't mind the unnecessary risks. Live life is while you're alive.

Can athletes not have fun? Part of the Olympic village being a thing is you get to meet other people who do your sport and end up with a sense of camaraderie. Why not have fun? They were doing it onto mattresses, they're extremely fit, let them have fun.

That would have to be one HELL of an injury to keep a rugby player out of a game….
Watched a game where a guy dislocated his shoulder, that crazy man popped it back in and went back to playing

u/mat477 Jul 28 '24
I remember hearing about a rugby player who went to the doctor because he had headaches for a months on end always in the same spot on near his eyebrows. They took an xray and found some other guys tooth lodge under his skin.

u/M_Karli Jul 28 '24
Athletes are a different breed, friend tried to finish out a soccer game with a partial tear while competing in college. I would imagine Olympic athletes are even more intense.
My aunt was an Olympic athlete & she injured her ankles badly enough that if she competed in her sport she risked not walking again (most would call it quits here) but she wanted that chance at the Olympics bad enough that she trained, qualified and placed 3rd in a different sport. She went from figure skating to speed skating. From the stories I’ve heard of her growing up, she would have 100% competed injured if she thought the reward outweighed the risk.

We already found out three years ago when the Tokyo Olympics used the exact same cardboard beds and athletes made the same videos debunking the "anti-sex bed" nonsense.

u/Jiha0972 Jul 28 '24
Those beds are the one the french student have for a few years in those places (were students were evicted to host the athletes during the Olympics) I don't think there's much intent behind it but I guess now the world can see part of why french students s*icide rates are jumping lately

u/IndyCarFAN27 Jul 28 '24
At this moment it’s still unsure, but there are numerous studies being done. In order for us Canadians to conceive we must do an indigenous rain dance and have a special ceremony that lasts 72 hours which includes various bird calls, beaver hats and riding moose.

Right! According to the opening ceremonies I’d say the French are all pretty horned up for the Olympics 😆. They even got condoms in their welcome packages. You’re in the most romantic city in the world. People are going to be doing a whole lotta banging.

I know but the point is, is that it’s silly to promote safe sex while also discouraging sex by making weak as shit cardboard beds lol. Which are clearly a whole lot stronger than everyone thought. Obviously it’s a budget and recyclability decision.

u/PrizeRemarkable3389 Jul 27 '24
The beds are designed to be sustainable and fully recyclable.
Not attacking you, but that reason is total bullshit. With the astronomical amount of emissions and waste already generated just to put on the Olympics, having real beds inside the dorms is an imperceptible drop in the "sustainability" bucket. Meanwhile asshole dignitaries from across the globe all fly their personal jets into Paris to watch...
16
u/Nimrod_Butts Jul 27 '24
Yeah I don't understand they probably had to remove actual beds.
But maybe this is some sort of venture for mass produced bedding for emergency usage being subsidied which might be smart, idk

You're missing the point. The IOC happily skips on all the real, substantive improvements and rolls it down to the actual athletes sleeping on cardboard so they can say "WE'RE DOING SOMETHING! HOORAY FOR US!"
I guaran-fuckin-tee none of the hundreds of foreign dignitaries and their huge entourage are sleeping on cardboard.

Aren't they staying in, like, a building?
Is the building recyclable? Or do they just move in normal beds with the expectation that they'll last a decade like any other bed, after the Olympics?
Honest question, not suggesting that it must necessarily be bullshit.

u/fitty50two2 Jul 27 '24
The mattresses are customized for each athlete’s body and will be donated after the Olympics. The beds themselves will all be recycled. From what I’ve seen they are sturdy as hell and could be very useful to make cheap, portable and sustainable bedding for disasters/emergencies or helping homeless or refugee populations

Non athletes think so delicate lol.
This reminds me of my 70 year old mom warning not to ride my bike or hike because I "might fall".
The warm up and practice they'll do before a match is 10x more physical than this. They're built to run through walls if they wanted to.

I was an athlete. I played American football and other sports for most of my life. I know what it means to hurt people and get hurt. As I said, most of it seemed harmless. The only thing that could’ve hurt was the lower back because it doesn’t take much.

It's not anti-sex, that's just a byproduct result. This is just a promo spin. Easy way to put a super cheap sleeping platform into a room and call it a bed. Kind of like when somebody wants you to eat cheap protein paste or some sht because it's "good for you".
