Snoop Dogg Has Fully Infiltrated The Olympics, Was Chosen to Carry The Olympic Torch Through The Streets of Paris
For what seems like the past decade or so, Snoop Dogg has been the old, out-of-touch mainstream media's answer to, "What fresh new ideas do we have to get the young people excited about _______?"
Easy. Hire Snoop Dogg. So it makes perfect sense that Snoop Dogg would be an Olympic torchbearer. Of course Snoop Dogg would be an integral part of this year's Summer Olympics. So much so that NBC has hired him on (again) as a 'special correspondent' to cover, report on, and just kinda hang around doing Snoop Dogg things at the Olympics. Simply roll Snoop Dogg out there to do as many things as humanly possible and watch the ratings skyrocket.

Not that I'm complaining. I have no qualms with Snoop Dogg being involved in the Olympics. He's not hurting anyone. I enjoyed him and Kevin Hart's commentary on the Greco Roman Wrestling and Equestrian events back in 2020.
It's a fun change of pace from the old crusty white guys (pink-eye Bob Costas, A.I. Al Michaels, Italian Mike Tirico) who cover a majority of the events. The NBC's of the world will be using Snoop Dogg to "make things cooler" until the day he dies. Doesn't matter if he's 85-years old in a wheel chair smoking blunts from a hole in his neck. Whenever a major news network needs a fresh new perspective from a universally beloved character who connects with the youth yet doesn't offend old white ladies, Snoop Dogg is getting the call.
P.S. Shoutout to this British reporter (and thousands of other reporters and new sites across the world) who saw that Snoop Dogg would be carrying the torch and said, "Hold my fucking beer. I have a line that's gonna blow people away"
