Who cares about the Olympics? Just another pro sport. The Olympic athletes are another bunch of prima donnas, just like so many that fill the benches of the NFL, NBA or MLB.

Hey give the guy a break... after all he's done somebody will probably offer him a job riding the back end of a garbage truck.

The general student body at UT has many illegal aliens in it. They get automatic acceptance to UT Austin under the top 10% rule. Coming from disadvantaged neighborhoods, the students are largely unprepared for college and must attend a full year or remedial non credit bearing classes, just to learn how to read, write and do basic math. Many are there just to ride the free government gravy train a few years. Plans are in the works to fix this problemo. Somehow. |

Actions speak louder than words. Always has, always will... 
Fuck that ungrateful bitch. Thank you. Tell that worthless piece of shit he could have gotten the gold if he had a better attitude. At this rate, he will always come in second, which is the first loser. What a disgrace. I employed a guy once who although American born and has never left was really proud of his African heritage. He always talked about how great the culture was and how beautiful it was. I offered to pay for his family of 4 to take a vacation in South Africa because he had worked through the holidays on a rush job with the rest of my crew who are predominantly hispanic. He countered with, "Well my wife said she would rather go to Las Vegas." I told him, "you just pissed on the chance of a lifetime bud, no deal". |

Personally, I think it's offensive. Lucky for him it's a free country and he can do as he pleases but I hope the USOC sanctions him for it. |

There was even a nice article on CNN of all places ragging against the exploits of this disloyal douche mop. I think he needs a one way ticket.
