  • Headline is a little misleading..

    No one is forbidding an athlete with non-traditional sexual orientation from coming to Sochi, but if he goes onto the street and starts propagandizing it, then of course he will be held accountable

    It's for the children. Actually, I think it would be nice to escape the propaganda a PDA from them. You know, Olympics about sports and competition.

    • Nice catch, ihatethemedia when they do that. Especially 'our side', acting just like the people we despise when they get a little influence and juice, going right to the same old playbook. Hey, sounds just McRhino!

  • Not to worry - BO will flex his mighty diplomatic muscles and turn Putin into a quivering bowl of borscht, just like he's doing right now over the Snowden affair. Didn't you see it on the nightly news? Boris soiling himself in fear(well, it's conceivable he was laughing) after Jay Carney told the White House Press Corpse that there would be severe...not just stern, but SEVERE... consequences if Snowden isn't handed over pronto.

  • Well we now know that Quagmire and a large part of his cabinet won't be attending.

    • Meanwhile, you have to wonder how the Olympics can possibly continue this trend of awarding the Olympics to shitholes. (Yes, Russia is a shithole run by a half-mad dictator.) Brazil has the next summer Olympics and they can't stop rioting in the streets long enough to build a stadium. Qatar was in the running for a summer Olympics and actually landed the World Cup. It's so damn hot there they will have to play the whole thing indoors! And do they expect women to wear veils, drink no alcohol, and go to prison if they're raped?

      • He is sociopathic but definitely more sane than +99% of people.

        So while their support for muslims makes them despicable, he and his governement at least have enough decency to take action against militant homo propaganda.

      • Brazil! Hey! That'll make the Olympics interesting, what with refs carrying knives and murdering athletes!

      • Well I don't know about that, the Russians were the ones who encouraged the steers and queers to go 'under cover,' so to speak, and help unravel the West, but that's not saying they want them to be representative of the male image, or female image for that matter, of the Russian people. Hell nyet, queers must get! I don't know though, maybe we could learn something here.
