Why is a frenchie heading the olympic committee?

Question

...and why does it seem the French is the "official" language of the olympics?

Answer 1

What does it matter if it's a "frenchie" or a "yankee" or whatever?

Answer 2

because "frenchies" have every right to participate in the world games as we do, in every way.

french isn't the official language spoken, don't know where you got that from.  they broadcast and announce everything in French, English, and Chinese.

*sigh* i can't believe i live in a country with so many ignorant and narrow minded people.

thumbs down GO

Answer 3

does it matter, it's in China and I think that we should be more concerned about the fakery.

Oh yeah also because Olympics is the World Games!!!

Answer 4

Frenchie need to get his **** together and get "popped" for letting Kindergardeners compete for the Chinease.

The Frenchie is an embarassment to the WORLD.

Shame on the Chinease!

Answer 5

Perhaps because it was a Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin that helped revive the 'modern' Olympics.

and french is the official language because baron Pierre de Coubertin

was the one who organized the olympics...

Answer 7

And what is wrong with us french ppl?

Immature arrogant *****.

Answer 8

First, you ignorant redneck, It's not a Frenchie - he's a Belgian ex-Olympian.

French is the official language of the Olympics, because in addition to being the fastest growing language in the world, it's spoken in more countries in the world, as an *official* language, though English is spoken in the business world because of the United Kingdoms once-dominance over economics, which benefited the Americans, and when the US was economically dominant, English was spoken as much as French was.

But everyday-people-wise, French is more widely spoken as an actual *official* language.
