The WADA is racist. Sha’Carri’s have privileges.

At least she didn’t turn her back on the flag, claim the Olympic officials are racists out to get her, or anything like THAT.

I won't be watching...so I couldn't care less. And that includes not caring about who turns their back as the National Anthem is being played.

Seriously, if a pothead can win, give them TWO medals. Every pothead I’ve ever known was barely motivated enough to leave the couch for another bag of chips.

Blacks will always be their own worst enemy. Great Society set them back. Nothing is expected of them. Until it changes they will continue to live down to the level of what’s expected of them. This woman worked too hard to do herself in. Don’t blame the rules.

Seemed like someone you could root for until she had to tell the whole world that her girlfriend picked out her hair color.

Imagine being a pothead, and still running world records.

the problem is that pot use catches up with your body and brain pretty quickly.

Richardson should immediately self-identify as a Rastafarian, and say that the marijuana was used for religious purposes.
