What part of this do you have a problem with exactly? Hell, it's 100% accurate.

It appears the U.S. Olympic Committee would like to change that to ‘Darker, Gayer, Different.’
This part is 100% false, you know they have qualifiers for the Olympics right? Some are even televised.

Our goal has always been to win metals, we send our best. I'm sorry this writer somehow doesn't see that many of our superior athletes are no longer white christians. But make no mistake, they're our superior athletes none the less.

And, I guess this is news to some people but not every event in the olympics is an individual event.
Just sayin...........

I guess Fox New did too, that's why they took it down.

Fox succumbed to pathetic liberal backlash that hates to see anything that doesn't worship diversity.

Does the Olympics now award medals for skin color or sexual orientation?

Point me to the Olympian who got in over his/her white/straight counterpart that he/she should've gotten in? Which one, specifically?
.....Better start googling, and hoping.

They probably took it down because retards like you can't read and are throwing hissy fits.

Dude what...that is 100% not true. Not everything has a specific, definitive measurable. Quite a bit is subjective.
That being said I trust them to send the best until otherwise proven wrong.

There has been gay people in the Olympics since its inception.
And I’m not talking about 1896.

You're full of shite without an ounce of evidence to back it up. Your entire premise is "people complained so they probably caved. Now I should just assume its true so we should write about it".

LOL.
It's like you people just suddenly lose the ability to read when you need to.

It sounds like what he wrote went over your head. Understandable.
Of course you have to compete to make the team and win medals.
The Olympic teams get to decide who to promote though, who to carry torches, who to conduct interviews/media.
Remember that Muslim fencer from Brazil Olympics? She was awful, terrible, was humiliated in her first match. Yet she was the "face" of the US team because they wanted to push a pro-Muslim agenda.

His whole premise is asinine. Point me to one US Olympic sport/team that you don't have to earn your spot through direct competition.

This.
Swing and a miss from Fox. That was fricking silly.

100% correct
Case in point the black speed skater who is throwing a hissy fit because it's Black History Month, and therefor he's entitled to be the flag bearer. It doesnt matter that the team voted for someone else.
I suppose theyre all white hooded racists?

There is literally no corner of our society where liberals, when in charge.........have not acted to prioritize diversity.
I'm merely observing that if liberals tell you they prioritize a thing, you should probably take them at their word eventually. They don't tend to get power and then ignore such things.
