Nah man, when it comes to the US Olympics team, everyone is the same and you damn well can cheer them on! I am. I said this earlier but I'm annoyed with the IOC and the fact Russia is competing in these games under the "ROC" name. Such a mockery.

Holy shit. The women's swim relay... all three teams that medaled broke the world record. China shocked everyone. They better get tested! Lol. USA got silver.

You know, it's best to watch the games before making ignorant comments about them.

But wait, this just in: 243Racing is not allowed to watch, or cheer for any color of Olympic athlete...!

24 isn't a "kid" either. She is an experienced athlete who has been competing for years. Mental health is a lot more difficult to verify than a physical ailment. If she said she had a physical ailment, there would be a lot more scrutiny to understand what happened. She could have also bailed from everything when she initially said she wanted to focus mental health, but didn't until later. So think whatever you want. Or don't.

LOL, you make up a narrative about her and then accuse me of making stuff up. And it ends up I was right (although they use a different terminology).

24 is emotionally a kid, I was an idiot when I was 24 despite already having a business and going back to college. You're judging a 24 year old at a level in sport you couldn't even hope to fathom and making up this narrative that she just "had" to be told to bail on individual events based on optics. But then on the flip side you're also arguing she is an experienced athlete, so then your original narrative was asinine based on your own argument.

That is the beauty of sports, some schlubby dude at home can pretend he is somehow better/smarter/faster/braver.

White dudes are the most sensitive snowflakes and its really sad. We already have everything anyway, but still need to piss and moan about it.

Its hard to give a shit honestly, its all just a cash grab for the IOC. After what went down with Brazil and Qatar, its no different than any sport other than (some of) the athletes arent allowed to get paid.

I don’t know how old you may be now, but you’re still an idiot.

Nice puss out after I was right all along. Id be hurt but you've proven your opinion isn't worth anything, soo...

Enjoy sitting at home and judging a bunch of 20-somethings that are better than you at everything.

You know bud, it's a lot less stressful if you don't get all worked up every time someone makes a joke.

Probably old enough to remember Kerri Strug winning the US a gold medal with a broken ankle. Guess they aren't as tough these days

Oh c'mon Ryan you can't leave a set up like that and not expect someone not to take it. But glad to hear you're not hurt even though it sounds like your panties got at least a little bunched up.

You are amusing. "I'm right I'm right I'm right!" You should get a shirt printed up.

As I stated earlier no one will ever know what really happened regardless of what is said or reported. All we can do is speculate. But believe whatever makes you feel righteous.

I'm sorry I have to inform you, but White Supremacy jokes just don't make it in polite company.

It's okay that you didn't understand it.

Here you go, buddy.

TiMSport · 07-29-2021, 11:13 AM

Okay, I have to admit the butthurt form was pretty funny.

Lol.

I've been keeping up with the Olympics, it's fun to watch some of these sports which aren't really shown on tv such as fencing, archery, water polo, track, cycling, swimming etc etc… I do enjoy it.

As far as Simone Biles pulling out due to her mental health, that was unfortunate since it did cost the US a Gold (and maybe more), and we won't be seeing her in the individuals either. It's hard to put "pulled out" and "GOAT" in the same sentence because the greats look forward to the challenge and that's when they really step up. For Simone, well not so much.

Only she knows what's going on, but it's just unfortunate this happened now since this is most likely her last Olympics since next one she would be 28 and I believe that is out of the age range you see for most competing gymnasts.

TiMSport · 07-29-2021, 11:46 AM

Well the good news is that Sunisa Lee won the all around gold medal for the US. I didn't know that until I woke up this morning. I was happy to hear that.

BTW, am I the only one pissed off about the ROC?

Hadn't heard about it, but after some light reading it seems like they're pretty openly skirting the rules. It'd be like a university getting banned from the NCAA tournament showing up as a "community college"

UncleWede · 07-29-2021, 11:59 AM

IF you watch that "landing" on the vault, Simone was openly TERRIFIED and had no idea which way was up. That she even got her feet on the matt shows she's part cat.

If Micaela (who?) can vault onto a roof to get a frisbee, what will Simone be doing in the next year or so?

It's hard to tell, but safe to say Micaela will not be impressed.
