Fine line, being considered a sport or competition.

What she said is not untrue.  She did not say it was how the Dutch commute to work.  She said they have historically skated on their canals to "get from place to place, race each other and have fun."  I lived in Holland for almost a year and this is very true.  They love ice skating and there is a big history of it there.  These jokers that tweeted about it sound like they have a collectivce Napolean complex about their country.  Go pick som tulips in your wooden clogs.  

 

 

Maybe check with the Dutch embassy ................

Sad that the social media warriors are offended.  They friggin' invented the sport of speed skating and she was making a comment about skating in their culture.  I know why you're posing it - it's that evil media getting egg on its face.

Wtf are you talking about? Her comments were dumb as fuck. We’ve now moved on. You keep defending her  comments and lashing out against those “social media warriors!!!” even though they’ve already moved on.

Okay, I found my old copy of "Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates" that my parents got me for me in grade school.  Where do I go to have it burned with the others?

Watched white last night for my first viewing of the Olympics.,apparently he is taking shit for dragging the flag on the ground.    When I saw it I knew this was gonna happen.

Not a good look for him and I'll give him a pass as I believe it's more intent than anything else that is disrespectful and he didn't do it as disrespect.

Really wish the nhl  ers were playing.

Fake stories are fake stories.  

Good luck to USA athletes the rest of the way!

Seemed the diehard righties were bitching about how he handled the flag and the lefties were bitching about how he didn't want to focus on 2016 sexual allegations after winning his gold. Shit gets comical. I was at a friend's and we were just watching those crazy jumps he was doing with all the flips and shit and in complete awe.

That's a good point.  Used to be, you could kind of avoid the politics unless you specificly went to those sections/sites.  But now the politics always seems to invade the front page/breaking news.  I think political opinions, and many other topics, are neither "breaking" nor "news", and certainly not both.

But of course in our present day, the easily offended cannot wait to pounce on any perceived slight.     

 

The Twitter wizards and and warriors are something else.  

The irony here is overwhelming.
