06/02/1936 - Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Olympic Stadium
All across the World, listeners sat huddled around their radios, the National Anthem of the German Empire faded away, and a thickly accented German voice began its monologue.
>"We Germans also want to show the world in this way that we will, true to the orders of our Kaiser and Reich Chancellor, make the Olympic Games a true celebration of peace and sincere understanding among the peoples."
In the small Bavarian village of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the Winter Olympics were beginning. Participating teams from across the globe were preparing to compete in a variety of events; Bob Sled, Ice Hockey, Figure Skating, Speed Skating, Alpine Skiing, Ski Jump, Cross-Country Skiing, and Nordic Skiing. The spectacle described over the radio could hardly do justice to the true magnitude of the proceedings.
For hours now, 10's of thousands of visitors streamed into the village, until at 11 o'clock, over 100,000 viewers sat shivering in the stands, prepared to watch the opening proceedings. It began with a small contingent of two Greek skiers, wearing tightly fitted blue jumpers, barely able to conceal their shivering from the thousands of watchful eyes. The trickle of athletes slowly became a flood, as participants from Greece (2), Flanders-Wallonia (27), Bulgaria (7), Germany (59), the Baltic Duchy (17), Finland (19), Italy (22), Liechtenstein (4), Netherlands (8), Norway (31), Austria (55), Poland (10), Romania (10), Sweden (32), Switzerland (34), Spain (6), Turkey (12), America (55), Japan (31), Australia (1), Russia (45), Albania (1), Ireland (5), Ruthenia (13), Lithuania (8), Ukraine (11), and Canada (29) all streamed into the stadium. The magnificent array of over 600 athletes from 25 nations was a sight to behold, notably, the striking red suits of the Austrian athletes drew many eyes. The absence of participants from syndicalist France, Italy, and Great Britain was hardly noticed by those in attendance, though the slight would not be forgotten in those countries.

Ice Hockey Group A - Feb.07 -

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
