This may be more about endorsement deals than anything else. I seriously doubt this guy is disappointed because he really wanted to carry Old Glory. It’ll be interesting to see who signs him now.

So, one of N drug-addled “athletes” (where N is a large number) refuses to march?

The olympics are so corrupt that they make the Clintons and Dorkbams seem as honest brokers.

Who gives a sh*t?

Heh....good point.

WE need to make it clear, we will boycott any product he endorses.

Well, it is kinda hard to carry Old Glory when you're trying to walk on your knees.

What a jerk.

He’s counting on winning gold to catapult him to fame and fortune.

Now, if he doesn’t win, his status as a victim will do the same.

I thought win or lose good sportsmanship is the core principle of the Olympics!

Why is he still on the team?

What he’s REALLY pissed about, is that it was decided by a vote, and he did not WIN the vote. He’s asserting that the role should have been GIVEN to him, because of who he is.

Snowflakes are all about “Democracy!”, right up to the point where they don’t win the vote.

NBC ruined the Olympics for me many moons ago.

An endorsement would mean jack to me since I don’t know who these people are.

I used to love watching the Olympics as a kid. But it was about competition then. Sigh.

“...Obama gave all “my people” (Read: His people) and attitude....”

That’s for sure. The foreign usurper set racial relations back at least 100 years.
As the old saying goes: “You can take the boy out of the jungle, but you’ll never get the jungle out of the boy.” This one is definitely on the left side of the bell curve. Speed skating, huh? We’ll see.

@TeamUSA dishonorably tossed a coin to decide its 2018 flag bearer.

Dishonorably tossed a coin?

Exactly how is that done?

He’s not an African-American speed skater.

He’s an American speed skater.

He probably couldn’t find Africa on a map of Africa with a giant red arrow pointing to it.

So is white snow. Next time they will be demanding snow of color.

For those who like their snow colored gray just go to any northern US city the morning after the snow falls.

What an entitled twit. I suppose he’ll be kneeling now.

I was thinking this may be the reason he's all butt-hurt about it. He probably had some sort of "look at me" disrespect planned and now he can't do it.

Probably planning on some Black Power salute.

Or some other "Eff-the-flag/USA" crap.

African-American Olympian

He's no American, send him back to Africa.
