Davis and luger Erin Hamlin tied 4-4 in voting by fellow athletes to carry the flag. Hamlin won the honor in a coin toss, a process the 35-year-old speedskater said was executed "dishonorably" in a post on his Twitter account.
His tweet included a hashtag mentioning Black History Month, which raised the question of whether the five-time Olympian was suggesting that race played a role in the decision. Davis is black, Hamlin is white.[/quote]
Of course that wasn't enough of a circus. So the reverend Jesse Jackson, racebaiter extraordinaire, decided to weigh in.

I wonder if he would have said that if Shani Davis had won the coin flip?
ha ha ha, not a chance
What a sore loser.

Terrible sportsmanship.
Nobody likes to lose, but part of being an athlete is learning how to lose with grace. Apparently he never learned that.
Thing is it he was one of two tied in a dead heat for the honour. So they both won but there's only one torch. They left it to chance after that. He should be more humble about that and Jesse needs to stfu altogether.

That's what sore losers do. If it were possible, I wouldn't let him compete after that. Fucking crybaby.

So, if the asshole won it would have been honourable and Jackson would not have cried injustice.
What you will find, all throughout history, is that the best and the brightest were never deterred by failure. Failure was nothing more to them than an opportunity to learn to be better the next time.
This is a mindset that cannot easily be taught, but is moreso a personality trait.
Blacks think they are owed something. The left think they are owed something. The truth is, they will never be satisfied as long as they focus on their failures. They can blame Whitey all they want. The fact is, the best and the brightest don't even worry about failure, no matter what their race or gender is.
Shani Davis is a spoiled brat, that's all.
Another reason I take no interest in the Olympics.

In all fairness, the unsportsman like behaviour of Shani Davis is not typical of most Olympic athletes.
Now a pair of gay american athletes have started a feud with Mike Pence

It looks like what happened to American football, the politicization of sports, something that should be apolitical. if the olympics keeps going like this I won't be watching it.

Only American athletes think they have the right to impose their politics on an apolitical sporting event.

It does seem that way doesn't it. I think its shameful and embarassing that the left has so strongly divided America by race, gender, sexual orientation etc that this dirty laundry is coming up in a place and circumstance it has no business in.

I can't recall any athlete taking a political stand at a sports even in Canada either. Even when Harper was pm and he as hated by the left.
Here's a lefty loon from the Huffington Post cheering it all on
[size=150]Give These U.S. Olympians A Medal For Sticking It To Trump[/size]
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/marcia-sirota/give-these-u-s-olympians-a-medal-for-sticking-it-to-trump_a_23356709/
So we've got the racial crybaby Shani Davis and the two Pence hating homos and I forgot about Lindsey Vaughn and her saying she hated trump and then just after she got injured in a skiing accident (Schadenfreude!)
Maybe I'll watch and hope these four idiots lose.
politics and sports should be kept separate.
There aren't many avenues for people of colour to voice their grievances and we must show more tolerance.
Quote from: "Lance Leftardashian"
I'm a little curious, what avenues exist for Caucasians to voice their grievances that are closed to minorities?
What we need to accept is that there will be NO appeasement between whites and minorities. Ever. They will not yield their attacks and complaints, no matter how much WE change. To believe otherwise is delusional. Ideologues that place themselves in conflict with white culture do not want "equality", because no such thing exists in human society. You are either dominant, or dominated.
They will not be satisfied until white culture is absorbed and neutralised. This includes feminism...who equate "white culture" with males.
Nigger athletes from white countries should be banned...

Exactly. South Africa is a good example of this.
I don't know, I think we should give the equal
What we need is a system of equal
Unfortunately we are heading towards a dominance game. Democrats are trying to get as many left voting minorities as they can into America in order to dilute white votes for a permanant monopoly on power. Blacks and Hispanics don't have Poilitical correctness, so I doubt if they are going to treat whites well if they are in charge.
