I mean, they're on FB, so ya, they probably thought something like that, if their thoughts even went beyond the words themselves.

It's like imagining what a lizard thinks about you, it's easy and fun to project your intelligence on it, this is what you're doing here. You're projecting your intelligence and logic on others apparently without that capacity. Those FB people didn't think about what their words meant any more than a lizard wonders about your nature.

Yeah I got a older co worker who behaves in a way that strikes me as very undiagnosed autistic of his generation. He went on a whole rant about how the Olympics should be like a family reunion where you have to mask your less socially acceptable behaviours and cannot just be yourself because you shouldn't always be yourself around your family for the sake of overall unity...

And yeah... I was just thinking how sad that was. Like bro. We've since realized how toxic that is to people and our generation is trying to undo that expectation and damage. The neurotypical flattening of self expression always was a tyranny, you just normalized it.

I assume that even a national championship is going to have a lot of POC represented, not just whiteys.

I'm glad they provide them every year though. Lots of young, fit, attractive people means lots of fucking.

I would be curious to know how many pregnancies result from the Olympics every time anyway though. At least some of the people won't use protection most likely.

My old buddy Mike had a rebel flag painted on the front of his house, American and rebel flag flying side by side, a can of Busch Light in his hand at all times, house littered with little hand carved wood spirits, and anything hillbilly that you could imagine.

He watched the Olympics religiously. He wouldn’t miss it for anything.

He wasn’t racist though, he just wasn’t that bright. I mean, he was and he wasn’t. He honestly just liked the imagery I think and he was old. He had civil war stuff laying around too, both sides. Little figurines and things.

Bring back motorcycle chariot racing as a sport!

Hitler was pretty fucking pissed off when Jesse Owens won gold. Racists haven't really changed since then.

America became an Olympic powerhouse largely because of its diversity. People of all colors and creeds show up wearing the stars and stripes and bring home medals.

Even during times of overt racism, diversity was a message we carried to the Olympics.

When Hitler said it was distasteful to have black people and Jews at the Olympics, the US nearly boycotted the 1936 games. But instead we sent Jesse Owens over to win 4 gold medals.

Interesting fact: Hitler was asked to treat all winners the same, so after Owens won the 100m Hitler stopped congratulating any winners for the rest of the Games.

In Australia our Para-olympic athletes get almost as much press and support. Its actually really great to see.

Task failed successfully. Among the first things broadcast to space was Hitler's speech opening the '36 olympics

Hey! Just so you know "eskimo" is actually a slur used to refer the Inuit people (https://www.ualberta.ca/folio/2017/11/commentary--edmonton-eskimos-is-a-racial-slur-and-its-time-to-stop-using-it.html).
