Another Olympian in trouble over tweet

[Boston_Shooter]

Lolo Jones is in hot water because of the following tweet:

USA Men's Archery lost the gold medal to Italy but that's ok, we're Americans.....When's da Gun shooting competition?

The fact that people are labeling this insensitive, etc is really crazy. Then what the Greek chick said being labelled racist is just as crazy. People are so sensitive that even things that aren't offensive offend people because of "key words". It reminds me of that story of the guy being called a racist because he said "Black Hole" in astrological context.

After all the shit talkin Lolo Jones had this to say:

"sorry u guys only think of violence but I think of all the hunting I do w southerners in da south. Its impressive."

Revised with a little more thought, and with drgrants suggestion:

I see no issue with the comment. For the rest of the world that does:

Step one:

(Please be sure to select "Easy Squeeze and Comfort tip...so you don't hurt yourselves)
Rinse and repeat

Step two:

Now that the discomfort is gone:

I wonder if the people who were offended by this has ever seen any of Mel brooks movies?

This is the Greek girl's tweet, and she was kicked out of the Olympics for it. I'm not sure what west nile mosquitos she's referencing, but I don't see this as racist.

with so many Africans in Greece at least the West Nile mosquitos will eat homemade food.

Ridiculous, as the same think could have been said about Scandanavians if there were some sort of parasite indigenous to that nation threatening to infect Olympians.

LoLo is hotter than georgia asphalt in july...she could insult my mother and Id be fine with it....But honestly I dont think she meant anything by it..people are just way to sensitive as usual. Media sucks

 

[Obie1]

Anyone who is offended by that is a total douche, like heir to the Massengale fortune douche.

 

[AntiHippie]

I'm offended only by the reckless abuse of the English language. The content is entirely non-offensive.

I simply don't understand why Americans give a rats ass what other sheep think about us. I don't get it. I really wish our .gov would focus its efforts on the US and forget these socialists douchebag countries that wouldn't have our back in a bar fight.

learn to shut up, so when the coming one world government starts herding certain types into boxcars, you won't strain yourself speaking out.

It's the same thing with professional athletes being pilloried for not being proper role models.

If you job is to be big, and strong and hurt other big, strong guys...why should yo be expected to be a flower-aranger in the off season, or in your off-the-field time.

But, kids are supposed to look up to them; the Olympian Ideal is purity of Mind, Body and Spirit....that's why Phelps (over 18, and apparently in fairly good physical and mental shape) got in trouble for the weed.....

It also undermines official dogma that there is no such thing as a drug user, only a drug abuser, and that one cannot smoke the heathen devil weed and also be a person of exceptional accomplishment in anything.

Yeah...that "Users are Losers" is a good rhyme.

that being said, he failed to medal in hsi first event.

See....one toke, and the country goes to hell - Reefer Madness was right.
