What is obvious with Davis’ position now, given the split vote and the resulting coin toss, is that Davis thinks “racism” made for the split vote, not the honest non-racial positions of the voting U.S. Olympic Team members. Shame on Davis.
I guess he thought he was another Obama; deserving a certain position just because of his “race”.

Since a Washington quarter was used in the coin toss, then we can see where Shani Davis has a point. Washington was a slave owner so therefore the coin was racist and it was prejudiced against Shani. /s
If they only used the new Lady Liberty coin, Shani would have been assured of fairness and also assured of winning the coin toss. We all know that it's impossible for blacks and black coins to be bigots. /s

So this black guy thinks he was "owed" the flag-carrying job, huh?
Fifty years of Affirmitive Action. Barf. At least I'll have someone to root against.

Why I will watch little to nil Olympics coverage.
Prima donna athletes and opportunists who could care less about the spirit of the games and only seek endorsements and fame for themselves..

These people are supposed to represent the team and by extension the rest of us. “Puerile tantrum flinging racist” is a poor representation and he should be replaced. If thats not possible with the present rules then I would rather lose an event by default than allow someone like this to participate.
