Who decides who goes to the Olympics?

[Sunshine]

At the start of the Olympics reporters asked Obama a question that started something like this: Mr. President, you have sent two openly gay athletes to the Olympics..........


So, how did HE get in on who goes to the Olympics. Does he pick and choose from whatever group is politically expedient regardless their chance of winning? Or even competing well?

He sent openly gay athletes that act as delegates to the Olympics.

Obama wanted to be an asshole about it all. I'll believe he'll care about LGBT issues when he starts slagging Iran for fucking hanging faggots. This is beyond stupid what he and the LGBT community is doing with Putin. No protest with Iran who hangs gays but oh big party down flamboyant shit over Russia. Bite me.

Obama has zero say in what athletes go to the Olympics. The delegation is different.

I'm damn proud that he gave the russian homophobic society a big ol' middle finger with the delegation he sent. I'd like to see some of that spine in other areas of his presidency.

Then he chose to demean all that the Olympics is about.

She wasn't the president. Russia is an old culture for those of you who missed that in their opening ceremony. Putin is no fool. Obama will take it in the figurative ass from Putin before he is out of office.

The Olympics is all about the persecution of homosexuals?

Who told you that?

Well then surely you applaud Putin for congratulating gay athletes when they win medals?

Let me guess...you support the Russians.

One of these days you conservatives need to wake up, clear your heads, and once and for all realize that you have lost your battle against gay rights.

When you chose to be conservatives, you chose to be losers. Try to play your role with some dignity.

Post it then. I forget what it was but I absolutely stand behind it. Muff diving and all. I decided my newer response was better. Though maybe less 'disagreeable.'

What threat?

 

[tinydancer]

Olypics are about athletes. Not about who fucks someone up the ass or loves pussy.

What part of sports don't you fucking idiots get? Why can't you leave something alone and instead have to turn it into "your" fucking someone and "your"sexuality and then you have the fucking balls to turn around and say that I as a conservative want to push my life onto yours? Really truly go fuck yourselves.
