Sports Illustrated’s Selena Roberts, when asked during an interview on the SI website about the future of softball as an Olympic competition on Thursday, added some liberal commentary into her prediction about the sport’s redemption: "One other wildcard for 2016 is the exit of the Bush administration. The undercurrent of anti-Americanism within the IOC, which some say has hurt the U.S. because of its softball dominance, may abate somewhat with a potential administration led by Barack Obama, a rock star in Europe."

“...The undercurrent of anti-Americanism within the IOC, which some say has hurt the U.S. because of its softball dominance, may abate somewhat with a potential administration led by Barack Obama, a rock star in Europe.”

Guess this idotess means that we’ll become a loser in everything, wheras we loose much less now. Do colleges actually give degrees to people who think like this?

[Dr. Ursus]

I guess she missed the U.S. team lost!

[Da Coyote]

Ok, OK, it’s “idiotess”. Still not a word, but perhaps more accurately spelled.

“anti-Americanism within the IOC, which some say has hurt the U.S. because of its softball dominance,”

Europeans hate winners - and this womens comment that it relates to politics shows she’s an idiot.

[Republicus2001]

why do they keep calling him a “porn star” in Europe?

“Do colleges actually give degrees to people who think like this?”

Auburn University did....

[CaptRon]

Now here's an issue that will unite the country behind The One.

Heck, we don't even need to be united. He can just say " So let it be written, so let it be done" and, VOILA!, Olympic Softball!

[AU72]

We should hook her up with that nancy boy from Newsweek that claims the USA Olympic uniforms are racist because they're too preppy.

Or if she's an Ellen DeGeneris fan with that nutritionist who condems Phelps for endorsing Frosted Flakes.

[griswold3]

Errors get you every time.

The Japanese will probably be lobbying for a quick return of softball to the Olympics.

[SampleMan]

So she’s admitting the the IOC is a politically motivated organization? Yes, I believe she did just that.

[onlylewis]

Do colleges actually give degrees to people who think like this?

Give being the operative word.

[thefactor]

glad i read the posts. that is exactly what i was going to write. she admitted the IOC reacts to politics. i thought journalists kept telling us how pure the olympics are. oops.

[Ron in Acreage]

So she thinks Bush will exit in 2016? Is she really that dumb?

Bush recieved a rock star welcome in China. She’s obviously blinded by her BDS.

I’m guessing she’s an affirmative action hire.

[Snickering Hound]

[Proud_USA_Republican]

This woman is a poster child for BDS.

[Ghengis]

I guess she missed the U.S. team lost!

Did they throw the game to tilt the odds back to McCain?

"One other wildcard for 2016 is the exit of the Bush administration. The undercurrent of anti-Americanism within the IOC, which some say has hurt the U.S. because of its softball dominance, may abate somewhat with a potential administration led by Barack Obama, a rock star in Europe."

With brains like that, this woman better be good looking.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Pathetic.
