NBC and all their advertisers wasted their money on my family and I, and I hope a lot more people as well

side note- I will not even buy anything branded as Olympic (Coke, bread, clothing, etc.)

Look at all that virtue you signaled

You can’t claim our medals yet. Works both ways.

Damn, good job SEC. I haven’t followed the olympics too closely, what did Kentucky get so many medals in?

Figured UF, TX would be outstanding with A&M, LSU, Arkansas doing well too. But Kentucky’s haul is impressive.


Multiple women’s hurdle distances between Sydney McLaughlin, Keni Harrison, and Jasmine Camacho-Quinn. Three in men’s basketball (Bam, Booker, and Keldon Johnson). A couple of shooting between Mary Tucker and Will Shaner (both part of Kentucky’s NCAA Championship Rifle teams). Lee Kiefer also won the first ever US gold in foil (fencing) as a UK graduate student. Her husband, also a UK med student, Gerek Meinhardt got a bronze in Team Foil.

Instead of focusing on shitheads like Rappino, focus on the track and field girl that said how much she loves the US and was glad and proud to represent the country.

I think you may be referring to Tamyra Mensah-Stock? I could be wrong

She’s a wrestler who attended Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, TX.

My father fought in the Pacific in WWII
My uncle stormed the beach at Normandy

Both in their late teens, early 20's

I had family in Nazi Germany that were murdered in the Death Camps

Yeah, the flag has meaning for me and I am teaching my sons virtue and the meaning of freedom

What are you doing, removing a rock because it offends you?

Nobody cares if they have opinions. We just don't care about their opinions. They don't care about mine, and I can assure you if I stated mine they would not listen. I also do not care about their opinion and I do not want to listen to theirs.

Does one have a choice in which country they're born i guarantee folks like you would be the first to complain if they accepted citizenship in the U.A.E. or somewhere and won a medal for them instead. The athletes just want to prove they're the best, and the Olympics nor world championships allow you to compete as a nomad.

Teaching virtue, that's just like ww2 i hear Btw, freedom is making choices for yourself, not doing what appeases TideFaninFl

This right here.

On Day 1, right out of the chute, a bunch of angry American bitches were taking a knee during the anthem. That was it for me. Good riddance.
