Olympic athlete banned from participating because of racist joke on Twitter

[sooperhooper]

I actually felt sorry for her... Until I read the tweet
No place for nonsense like that in an arena that's meant to celebrate diversity.

"With all these Africans in Greece at least the West Nile mosquitoes will have a homemade meal" = BANNED CAMP.

Yeah man...as long as she's cute, who cares what she said. 

What she looks like is irrelevant.  She's an idiot.

Anyone else just giving up hope on humanity? I used to think that there would be less racist and ignorant idiots in our generation, but things like this and the Penn State tweets x) prove otherwise

 

[brandon3000]

shes an idiot and she got what she deserved.


she is literally a greek goddess tho....

 

[young halo]

good. she should never be allowed to compete

 

[maddog345]

What makes you even make a statement like that?

 

[docsteve]

I saw that.... what an idiot. Why would you put that?

 

[derryj3]

Dummy, the joke made me laugh tho.

its always been the same ratio of idiots bruh. a lot of it gets magnified due to todays media. same goes with all the good and selfless acts we see displayed.

replay that dumbass. im glad they made an example out of her. your a professional, act like it.

remember THIS in bejing? your an olympian, set an example. I feel the same way about the USA team acting arrogant and over celebrating during the friendlies. act like a professional

 

[jhawk826]

She's easy on the eyes, but I don't see how that can be interpreted as a joke. That's not only racist, but it displays signs of xenophobia which is common throughout Europe. She was also banned from this year's Olympics for being an avid supporter of the Golden Dawn party, which is comparable to the Neo-Nazis. On the old NT, the video was posted of one of their spokesman, Ilias Kasidiaris, punching a rival female politician in the face during a debate because she angered him.

...what i would do to be in the Olympic village with these women...

 

[RIP sleazyy]

I like how she's trying to play the victim now.

 

[knightlovesqueen]

"I am trying to stay calm otherwise I would lose control."

Good point about team USA....clearly, racial insensitivity is the same as acting arrogant. 

 

[servechilled81]

social media will be the undoing of many celebrities and athletes...

[wavy bone]

Acting arrogant?
