The Sheeple have been programmed well.
The hijab might have been worth a few seconds but not 45.
I’m surprised this woman was allowed to compete at all. I have family that used to live in Kuwait and the stories they told about life for women in Saudi was heartbreaking.
She was 45 seconds behind. Islam is 14 centuries behind. Who wants to cheer that?
There was a time when such an obviously stupid stunt in track would have been laughed out of the stadium.
There was a time when womwn wanted to compete and to establish new records in their sport.
Now they stand and cheer a uniform of female slavery and oppression and congratulate themselves on their support of “diversity”.
The over-the-top PC reaction to this is maddening but predictable. ‘All about taking part, not medals’ etc.
But they refuse to see what is going on here. The IOC have capitulated to the Saudis and their backward-looking idiocy. Plenty of Muslim women compete and wear appropriate, standard athletics clothing (e.g. the Turks).
‘But this woman was born in America, has dual citizenship, etc.’ Fine. Why is she opting for the 7th Century instead of the 21st?
If an Amish woman arrived to compete in her gray dress, bonnet and black leather shoes, you would find precious few praising her and far more mocking her and, of course, her faith.
The number of people praising this as a ‘step forward’ is staggering and dismaying. If she shows up in a burqa that will that represent a giant leap?
its time that women Olympians went back to that.(sorry...but these things write themselves)
If Moe had wanted women to be able to run, he wouldn't have condemned them to the burqa.
Let’s not be all ugly WASPs here.
I hate to be the only optimist here, but ya gotta start somewhere.
Yeah, y’all look me up and DARE to call me a libtard noob.
And now she`ll proceed to return home to a fatal beating by her insanely jealous husband. Allah`s will and all that rot.
To be fair, it wasn’t her fault, it was her brother holding her back. Had he been faster, or if she had been allowed to go out without a blood relative, she could have done much better.
Oh gee, this is like watching the Indy 500 but one team is bringing in a Stanley Steamer.
Its like a science fair competition and one contestant brings a box of rocks.
What will Islam be like 200 years from now when man will be traveling across the galaxy? Or in just the near future?
Still doing the same ole thing. Nothing, because its anal, obsolete, a dead end culture.
That outfit didn’t slow her down that much, she wasn’t at all fast to begin with. But what the heck it gave her a chance to go to the Olympics. No way could she have made the US team, or any other team for that matter.She was a joke.
So what are they really cheering? That she overcame the barbaric and backwards muslim attitude towards women? Her bizarre costume shows she accepts that attitude.
So exactly what are they cheering?
Oh, look. The Dhimmis are applauding the Saudis’ entry completing the race and finishing dead last! What an accomplishment. I am so thrilled — NOT. Another reason why the Olympics are irrelevant.
When she goes back home, some cleric will have her arrested, buried up to her waist in sand and then they will throw stones at her as a lesson to other females.
Competing at that level wrapped head to toe in a sweltering stadium has to endanger the health of the participant. I am surprised they let her do it. If she had keeled over, I wonder what the reaction would have been?
Here’s the medal battle worth watching.
USA/Great Britain ——— 62 Golds 37 Silver 39 Bronze - 138 Medals
China/Russia -————— 49 Golds 44 Silver 42 Bronze - 135 Medals
Go Anglosphere!
