Like his boy Hussein 0bama, he's used to getting that affirmative action "bump", because being black makes his just a little more "equal", and if you don't agree, you're a racist.

Does anyone really care about the Olympics anymore? Their professionals against our professionals.

“Their professionals* against our professionals.”

*Most of whom seem to attend our schools and training facilities.

Not all. My cousins wife throws the discus and currently holds the US record. She gets some sponsorship but is still largely self financed. Her husband and father in law built her a practice gym on their farm with a catch net. There are no rules about the throwing ring surface so they built interchangeable ones so she can train on the surface she will compete on. By the way, she’s black, Christian, and a wonderful person. I can’t speek for her, but I’d bet she’d like to bitch slap this twit.

Thank you both. My understanding came from a couple of articles I read years ago about the devastation of the Ice Capades in the eighties or early nineties for a few years because of the loss of many homosexual skaters.
