I love the Winter Olympics and will be glued to the screen the next 2 1/2 weeks. Thought I would start a thread on it since the opening ceremonies are tonight. Mostly white athletes from white countries playing beautiful winter sports, a whitefest in other words. I especially look forward to the speedskating, downhill and alpine skiing events, snowboarding and to see how the unheralded and young USA mens hockey team does. I even like the curling sport and once you know the rules and personalities it is interesting to watch.

I'm moving this to the Other Sports forum, where past Olympics threads have been.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a sports writer, Bob Smizik,who recently did his best Bryant Gumbel imitation, writing about how boring and non-athletic he thinks the Winter game are. Although he didn't explicitly mention race, the commenters afterward quickly did. I wrote the one from "The Main Don," following which Smizik cut off all mention of race:

Great response Don. One post was really funny, he said blacks are better athletes because they are faster and then stated the formula

Force = mass x acceleration.
Double the mass, double the force.
Double the speed, quadruple the force.
It's simple physics. And we are all subject to the laws of physics."

as if a few tenths of a second translates into any kind of advantage in "force" which is a stupid concept anyway when trying to explain athleticism. It also means that being heavier is an advantage which is true in some cases not in most others.

Looks like the Winter Olympics are yielding a search for any cultural marxist PR/propaganda (to be heralded).

I watched the entire opening ceremony for the Vancouver Olympics, which was nearly 100% devoted to the adoration of the "aboriginal"Â￾ peoples of the north, south, east, west, blah, blah. They danced like Zulus for hours on end; clad in beaver pelts, colorful feathers, bear-claw necklaces, whale hides, elk leather, etc"¦I wonder what PETA thought?

Other unbelievably homosexual spectacles included lame "slam poetry,"Â￾ male tap dancing, high-wire choreography, etc.

To add to the technological, non-human extravaganza, Bob Costas (a reliable caste turdburgler) spoke with glee when discussing the comments made by the Brazilian president's reluctance to host the games"¦he said the racist prez told all the South American countries that they better "get ready because we're not having these games down here for a bunch of gringos to come down and win all the medals."Â￾ That's the same little b*tch who said "white people with blue eyes"Â￾ are the source of all the world's problems.

Quoting the ill-mannered racial slurs of a bigot "leader"Â￾ on network TV, with billions of "gringos"Â￾ watching, how cute. I'm all the whites watching gave each other a high-five and laughed it off.

No shortage of blacks either, whether among the "dignitaries," Mounties, volunteers, on commercials, doing deep-throated voiceovers, just about everywhere except among the crowd and the athletes. NBC and Canada took a virtually all-White event and made it a multicultural, multiracial extravaganza.

The opening and closing ceremonies are always a "multicultural" experience that I largely couldn't care less about. It's the skiing, hockey, snowboarding, figure skating(womens), speedskating, short track speedskating, etc.. that I get excited about.

Ohno and Davis have been designated the marquee American athletes of the Games.

I am sad that one of the athletes has died. It clearly should have been avoided. It was not even the first time that someone had been hurt on that track. Earlier, someone else was knocked unconscience. Why was the steel beam even there? I also hate the fact that they are showing the video of the man's death. Edited by: green fire317

Some of the choices of people to bring in the flag were just as laughable. God love Anne Murray(who is still hot at 63?), but what does she have to do with sports? Or the general? If they were going to have Villeneuve who has nothing to do with the Olympics than Larry Walker who is from BC should have been there too. I did notice that Donovan Bailey and Lummox Lewis weren't invited either. I suspect the drug rumours about Bailey cost him a spot and Lummox's indifference to Canada probably cost him a spot.

Bob Costas is the blandest sportscaster in captivity. Jim McKay must be wincing in his grave. McKay and his friends from ABC *defined* Olympic coverage when I was growing up.

They are both great athletes in their sport but other Americans should get more attention as well. Shaun White and Bode Miller deserve just as much attention as well as a few others.

Villeneuve is probably the most famous Canadian sportsman in the world. He's a household name in Europe and much of Asia. He's also French-Canadian and that helps given how these things work in Canada. Larry Walker could walk down any street in Canada and not be recognised.

I was wondering where cocky Donovan Bailey was. I suspect you are right. As I type this I'll bet he's sitting in his mansion seething with anger and blaming racism for his exclusion.

I was wondering where Gordie Howe was. Mario Lemieux would also have been a good choice to play a role in the ceremony.

Looks like Mary Carillo has the honors of hosting the late night broadcasts.

I was listening to the radio this morning while driving and running a few errands. In the 20 minutes I was listening I heard about the first african american to win a gold in the Winter Olympics three times.

Compare that to themedia's collective yawnwhen Jeremy Warner won the 400 meter race in '04, the first White American to win a gold in a sprinting eventsince 1964.

Black speed skater Shani Davis, "drawing on his inner wisdom," pulls out of the 500 meter race:

Davis withdraws after first run

Shani Davis withdrew after Race 1 of the 500 meters Monday night.






Problems with various ice-resurfacing machines caused a lengthy delay. But that's not why Davis dropped out.





Davis finished 18th in the first race with a time of 35.45 seconds, then withdrew to save his energy for the 1,000 on Wednesday night.





When the new start list came out, Davis' name was not on it, and he was seen riding an exercise bike in the warmup room.





"He drew on his inner wisdom. He's focused on the 1,000," said Nathaniel Mills, the former U.S. Olympic speedskater who is serving as Davis' press attaché here in Vancouver. "He got the feeling he wanted and I think this was something he might do anyway. It was just preparation. The lengthy delay made that decision a lot easier. If he had been in medal contention, he would have pushed through.





"Above all, he wants to be fresh and ready for the 1,000, and we're inside 48 hours on that now. The 500 is always the race with the greatest risk of injury. Last year in the 500 at Single Distance Worlds, he tweaked his groin a little bit. All the coaches around him supported the decision, and there were some who didn't even want him to do one 500."

If Davis metals in any event , the Lame Stream Media is going to have an orgasmic celebration of epic porportions. It would be like Clorice of "Silence of the Lambs" fame walking down that aisel in prison while inmates flung seman at her face. If Davis win we r going to get via the television times 1000

You're right Westside, let's hope it's a lesser medal, if that. If he wins a gold, we will never hear the end of it.

I've been enjoying the Olympics tremendously thus far, the Friday tragedy not withstanding. Watching elite white athletes at their best is a most welcome departure from the garbage that is the NBA and the NFL (sans the white players we root for).

On the anectodal evidence front, I was at the gym both Sunday and Monday. It's a fairly large private club, with many big screen TVs plastered all over. I believe half of all TVs were tuned to NBC for the Oympics and during the 2hrs I was there both days, almost everyone I saw was glued to the TVs, taking longer than normal breaks by watching the various events like snow-boarding, speed-skating, luge, downhill skiing, among others. At least from where I stand, people are very interested in these games, despite what some idiot members of the MSM may pro-claim about the games being boring because of lack of blacks.

Honestly, it's the lack of blacks that makes it that much more fun. Things are exciting, the competition and sportsmanship is at a world class level, and some of the more cool events (such as men's hockey) have yet to start.

I'm looking forward to the next 2 weeks! Edited by: foobar75
