What’s ironic about that is the left has been telling us we shouldn’t stereotype women, but at the same time saying there are clear gender roles in society.

Call me old fashioned but I like my sports without a dose or even a sprinkling of social and/or political statements. Just let me watch it in peace free from all the people who want to be seen for something non sports related.

Only in the OIympics :

*We have a Egyptian fencer competing while 7 months pregnant

* American gymnast (who did not even make the team) Stephen Nodoroscik, an accountant by day, rode into the Olympics, competed in his ONE event, the pommel horse, killed it and helped US win Bronze in team gymnastics. Only competing in one event.

*The wrong national anthem was played while introducing the South Sudan athletes.

Many more odd happenings have already been mentioned.

They introduced South Korea as North Korea too. That's a pretty big mistake.
