I wont watch the winter olympics again until minority LGBTTQQIAAP athletes are awarded their fair share of medals. The olympics are dead to me until the governing body corrects the unfair socioeconomic gaps that prevents all those from the victim class from receiving their fair share of medals.

LMFAO winter sports certainly excluded my poor white ass even being a few short hours from Colorado unless they develop sports of the poor such as shoveling driveways and sidewalks, snowball fights/ambushes, church shoe skiing waxed up by the wax paper soda cups thrown away, bread sack sneaker snow walking, cardboard box sledding, marveling at the rich families fancy equipment and games....we couldn't afford to be non inclusive nothing sucks like a snowball fight undermanned and no tactical talent

LMFAO also...we learned early when outgunned or outmanned (older kids)...diversion...put a man out in the open very early in the skirmish and have him throw one snowball at the older crew in the open as HIGH as he could throw in their direction...as they watch the trajectory in a near hypnotic state... thinking WTF...UNLOAD ! UNLEASH ! FIRE FOR EFFECT !! Fun memories !!!

For whatever reason we called it skeetching here in Colo. Great way to learn about physics, I remember grabing the rear bumper of a quick moving school bus once...that was a lesson... In cartwheeling, I stuck the landing
Then there was LaCrosse sticks and snow balls

From what little I have read or heard about this years Olympics I can only conclude that we suck. But we are inclusive.

Just wait until the summer games. I'm betting we rule in male-pole vaulting.

Only interest I've had in the sporting event formerly known as the Olympics is I saw a headline about a French ice skater who had a wardrobe malfunction that exposed a breast to the worldwide audience.
Naturally, I had to check it out, only to discover that the French have trained horses to figure skate. Either that or the woman has a face only a mother (or Frenchmen) could love.

USA Women took Bronze in the speedskating pursuit as well. (In the "the enemy gets a vote" department the Japanese took the Gold away from the Netherlands.)
Enjoy biathlon although USA's Lowell Bailey is dead to me with his retarded mouth RE gun control - he can move his globalized ass to the EU.
I'm waiting for QP Nate Weber on the 4-man bobsled stuff comin' up.

Well, the USA indeed does not "suck." The folks that are/were competing in their events may not be up to par on any given day, but to just get here, to qualify even for a shot, means they as athletes do not, "suck."
Some of their attitudes may suck, and it is sad they speak about shit they know nothing about....but...
IMHO, they are too stupid to realize the power of audio recordings that will plague them forever. In any case, some of the athletes keep their traps shut, show up, do their thing, and Bam! They win or loose, but at least they freaking tried.
USA!
Again, JMHO,
Holly
