Nothing about that tweet shy's away from the truth. I wonder why realists make niggers go apeshit. Oh wait...

Years of training gone to nothing for one barely offensive comment. I hope Greece gets a few gold medals!

Green If they win any medals? They will quickly deposit them in their back doors. And beware of Greeks bearing gifts!

My education has taught me that both mosquitoes carrying west Nile virus as well as Africans do in fact originate from the continent of Africa. Please explain precisely how it is I've been misinformed.

I am paid extremely well for the work I do. I am not here to give sensitivity training, to the poorly educated.

Exactly what is it that leads you to imagine I'm poorly educated? Have I failed to make a complete sentence or to demonstrate an understanding of language? Or, alternatively, have I simply failed to agree with your narrow-minded view of "free speech."

Free speech?
1: The girl is Greek.
The loudest about freedom of speech are the quickest to confuse it with freedom from consequences. Freedom of speech means exactly that. It means you have the right to open your mouth and tell the world just how you feel.
With that right, however, should come something else -- the realization that the people you represent might not want you to represent them anymore. You weigh those two things, the right and the realization, and decide if the risk is worth it.
She signed a contract agreeing to rules that in fact limited her freedom of speech and expression. In the USA people are protected by their constitutional rights, but not while they are employees of a company they work for.

Freedom from consequences is the only standard for freedom. You're a dumb commie nigger who still has yet to explain to me how it is this precise comment is in any way offensive. You have attacked my education, you have insulted my principles, and yet you still have not entertained the question at hand: why should any rational and sane person find this comment offensive?

I treated you exactly as I would treat a member of the Klu Klux Klan. What is rational for you is offensive to me. So I do not expect you to understand why her comment was offensive.

So I'm a member of the KKK now? Right. What's the statistical probability of that, anyhow? Let me help you: you could never be so fucking lucky.
You're unwilling to answer the question because you know your position to be baseless, and you know I'm intelligent enough to blow holes in it. Bottom line: You're simply not smart enough to engage me in a debate. I win by default. Pussy.

You do not have to belong to the Klan to end up with your lack of sensitivity. The joke on her part was in fact a good joke. As a representative of her country, it was in poor taste as well as a violation of a signed contract.
The only hole I have to blow up in your argument is the Lawn. She failed to follow the Lawn. Ergo I win you lose. She of course has every right to take this to a court of the Lawn.

Still not offensive. So she violated a contract. Ohhh, like that kind so shit doesn't go down every damn day. Still not offended. You really don't have a case, do you?

Not a matter if I have a case. Does she re violation of a signed contract. Fact is she is not going to court in Greece. She made a lot of noise at first and found Her position to be baseless.
You are free of course to tweet her. lol Send her some of your tasteless racist jokes. Post them here and even I may laff at them.
Don't expect them to get you into future Olympics.
