Your problem wasn't the criticism of the goalie...you simply say there has to be a better goalie out there than the one we had and no one bats an eye. The issue (which you deserved to be called on) was the fact you made it racial when your main point was that the goalie was African American and that they are better suited to some sports over others. The critique of the athlete wasn't the issue. It was the racial stereotype you added to the post. There was no need for that.

Breakdancing???
Some sports that should be in the Olympics: squash, lacrosse, cricket, roller sports, etc.

Maybe some did but didn't think you went as far as you did on the goalie stuff so they didn't think it warranted a statement...Also, your goalie comment was as much a joke as it was a racial stereotype about African Americans and sports that has been around for years...You might as well have thrown in something about fried chicken and watermelon to get all the narrowminded stereotypes out of the way at once.
and, drum-roll, please:
He went from pumping the crowd and acting 100% like his normal exuberant self, and 19 seconds later he needed a wheelchair? He got smoked and had a built in excuse I guess.
Thats almost as big a loser move as Michael Johnson pulling up lame when Donovan Bailey cooked him in that 150m race in 1996.
I expect they will have gaming in the near future. Can't wait to see those "athletes."

The Olympics do have gaming. And it’s lame as can be
Wow France can't even produce medals the athletes can wear. Look at this one that's been worn and touching the skin.
Oh I remember this. That was from like 12 years ago. Can't believe she's still competing in OlympicsYes! Michelle Jenneke is back for another Olympics. She came in last but who cares.........
I'm a lifelong gamer, but that is stupid. It's connected to the Olympics but doesn't take place during a real Olympics' year at least. So we won't be seeing track and field, swimming, gymnastics, and gaming together. Need to put it with breakin on ESPN 8 "The Ocho" and keep it away from real sports.Olympic Esports Series - Wikipedia

Just calling it like I see it. Whatever he has didn’t affect him. He just got cooked. It happens, take it like a man, don’t climb into a wheelchair. So lame.
Didn't Stan get banned from the Politics threads for calling Clarence Thomas one of the worst names you could call him? The irony of him calling someone a loser, lol.
In other news, I really enjoy watching Canada's Brandie play volleyball.......

Almost a fight between Brandie and Anna Patricia and then the PA announcer plays "All we need is Love".
Volleyball is good stuff.

Lacrosse actually has the chance to be very interesting, because in the type of lacrosse being played at the '28 Olympics the fifth ranked team in the world is the Haudenosaunee, which is basically the Iroquois Nation. Lacrosse's international governing body recognizes them as their own team although I haven't seen anything on whether the IOC will do the same.
Lacrosse was the national sport of Canada for a long time until recently, and it’s still co national sport with hockey. It has its origins with native tribes, so I’m not shocked to hear your tidbit about the Iroquois. Had no idea, thanks for sharing that.
No idea what you’re talking about. A simple search would clear it up. I laugh at the political thread, it’s nothing more than entertainment for me.
If you like Canadians, the pole vaulter who won bronze already has an active only fans. lol.
His coach said he has a fever of 102 that night. Is he in on the scam as well?
He sat out the 4 man final so are they in on it too?
No wonder they tossed you out of the political thread. You seem to not like a certain type of people……
It always amazes men how people take joy in watching others "fail".
Man you just nailed it. The biggest thing I see in life is how nobody can be happy for anybody else. Neighbors want to know your busness but when all is well they suddenly aren't interested, etc. It's pathetic.
I’m super happy the US team can’t handle a simple baton swap which gifted Canada a gold medal in the 4x100. Maybe if the Americans spent more time prepping and less time showboating, they wouldn’t constantly drop batons or get DQ’d for bad exchanges. They are far and away the worst in the world at that.
Also, watch Lyles before that race. I’ve never seen so
Much energy exerted showboating. He clearly wasn’t sick.

Russia is almost entirely absent from these Olympic games despite having many record holders. Only 15 athletes defied the Russian Olympic Committee, paid their own way, and participate under the AIN banner. They aren't allowed at the Opening and Closing ceremonies or in the Olympic Village. AIN is not listed in medal totals, but they've only picked up 5. Russia was also banned from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics (drug suspension), but the ROC officially supported 330 athletes (71 total medals).
Maybe all the best athletes will be back together again for Los Angeles 2028.

Breakdancing is really just a combination of the Pommel Horse in gymnastics, and various Synchronized swimming and figure skating events. I feel like if we're fine with those, this isn't a huge deal, even if it's odd to see in the Olympic Games.
This stuff is very hard to pull off. These guys have 12-packs for a reason.

IF all of the mentioned best athletes are clean of illegal enhancements and are of actual gender of the event they are competing. I will GUARANTEE you this, the 2028 games WILL test for unfair advantages. They will not ignore previous test nor use a 8 year old test as qualifications for said athlete to compete. Enough about it has already been debated everywhere so I will not get into that portion. I will just simply state there will NOT be athletes competing in events if they have an unfair advantage because of chromosomes or illegal use of physical enhancements.
I've been impressed, but not entertained.
Music is barely audible in the background. I guess to better hear cracker jack commenting.
Too much rolling around the floor. Not just that Australian.
Needs more poppin. Needs more lockin.
