Olympic athlete banned from participating because of racist joke on Twitter

Man, I'm black and yeah, it was dumb of her to say. But honestly who cares. She's just another dumb broad who doesn't think before she speaks. I wouldn't had banned her...


P.S. If she was a ugly broad, my response may have been different lol.

so much wrong with this i dont know where to start.
 
While some may complain that officials are being sententious, if these types of jokes aren't dealt with with the most severity it would be deemed okay with the general consensus. You have to remember this is the OLYMPICS, national pride, and ethnic recognition is put on display during this competition.
 
wait, i'm lost...how is that racist tho? west nile virus originated in africa, so if the africans travel and are in Greece and the mosquitos travel and end up in Greece, theyll just see the same menu that they see at home... she aint call em kneegrows or coloreds. there's plenty of fairskinned and white people in South Africa. I think they're reaching. Let kimmel say this, dudes sides will be hurtin





oh and i'm black son.

How could that be interpreted as a joke at all? That's blatant ignorance. Sounds like something she routinely thinks but just happened to say it out loud.
 
I in no way, shape or form support her and I am glad she got banned for the comment...However, if Chris Rock would have tweeted that, people would have found it hilarious, lets be cereal
 
The greeks kicked her off the team. Cool with me. As long its not a USA athlete or affect my countries medal count I'm cool.

EVERY Athlete on teams not USA please get banned and lose. Good Luck either way.
 
banned completely was a little excessive imo
People are gonna hate other people, no getting around it.
I could see getting suspended for a game or 2 being a little more appropriate
 
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 :{
yes and no

1. i've had numerous conversations with racists and found out that they have no reason to be racist, when someone hates something so strongly and defend theirr idea to the point where all they can say is "i just hate you" then you realize things are still very bad

2. i've also seen a dramatic increase in interracial couples, (a huge bump in black women and white men) so there is definite hope
 
:x

Ridiculous.

People who make comments like this deserve all the negativity they get.

& then she wants to issue an apology?!

G T F O H.

Humanity.

She would get it though. :o :evil :Nthat

Like DunkNForce said, A ban is a bit excessive, A 2 game suspension would've been fine.
