posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieSad 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.
Fake stories are fake stories.
Good luck to USA athletes the rest of the way!
Some people just aren't happy unless they're bitching--this kid just won an OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL while representing the US of A, and yet is accused of desecrating our flag?!? these people can just gft...every damn one of them...

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.

I'm pretty far right, don't give a fuck about the flag when celebrating winning a gold medal. And don't fucking ask him about sexual allegations after winning a gold medal. People suck

I'm sure there's at least one event they could drop to make room for barrel jumping!
Cheering for the home track advantage - Yun sung-bin in the skeleton.
Awesome Ironman helmet.
Also cheering for the Jamacian in the skeleton.
Skeleton is fucking crazy. Bombing on a sheet of ice head first at 80+ mph. No thanks.

Would you rather crash head or feet first?
Mikaela Shiffrin needs to be a top seed in that hottest women tournament we do.

Does it really matter? Seems like every time they crash they get all turned around and it's a crapshoot how you end up, anyway. If you crash, the phsyics doesn't care if you're head first or feet first.
