re: Looks like something as simple as a coin toss to break a tie is racist now

Looks like the coin made the right decision.

And, dammit, I love Shani as a speedskater. One of the most inspiring ever. Why'd he have to go and pull this dumb shite?
Because he's an egotistical douchenozzle.

Annoying. Especially considering Hamlin was the first American, of either gender, to medal in the luge in single’s competition. She’s also a four-time Olympian and this is her last one.

He doesn’t want to be judged by the content of his character because he’s an arse

To be fair, Shani has better medals and has completed in more Olympiads.
Guess he's not well liked amongst his peers.

the good news is literally every comment on that tweet is about him being entitled and its bullshite that he tried to use the race card

That's the other thing that's shitty about what Shani did. The honor of carrying the flag often goes to someone like Hamlin who is on their last games.

I don't think his motives were race.... With this controversy, I think this is the most anyone has ever paid attention to a speedskater

Taking a look at his twitter, he's nothing but a punk. Complaining and playing the victim every time anything happens. My money is on him failing to win a medal this year and then blaming every(white)one he can find.

This is what I was going to ask. If the flag is supposed to be carried by the most decorated then he has a gripe because he IS the most decorated. But if it's just a popularity thing then he has no fricking reason to gripe.

Apolo Anton Ohno is a damned national treasure.

Bruh, Apolo Anton Ohno was pretty captivating back in '02/'06
ETA: Daaayum, got beaten to it multiple times while I was linking a pic. I'm proud of y'all

I mean, the whole thing is pretty informal from my understanding. No hard and fast criteria for who gets to carry it--it's just usually a sentimental favorite/highly decorated athlete, with the former edging out the latter in most cases I've paid fleeting attention to.
