I'm pretty sure that's the actual intent.

Like all the Muslim men who travel with their wife and kids when they plan on blowing up the plane their all on.

If anyone needs some love, it’s someone from Flint, MI.

Yeah, thought it was something like that.

Yep. BS. Not sure what the French are trying to get at.

Why not?

So, I know a lot of the US success has to do with Title IX. And I’m wondering, when they passed Title IX, were they aware of the consequences that US women would rock the Olympics?

Other than swimming, I tend to forget that men compete in the Olympics.

From what I understand (the people telling me this might have been putting me on), yes. In public pools, women must wear bikinis and men should wear something akin to a Speedo.

The thought behind it is, if it covers too much, you can wear it on the street, and get dirt and grime from the street into the body of water. Complete BS.

The artistic Russians falling on their butts.

I’ve been a citizen all my life, and I just learned this: 36 US Code 301: Non military personnel hearing the Star Spangled Banner should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over their heart.

Yeah, I’m gonna give her a pass right after that traumatizing event.

Simone Biles, Simone Manuel, what are we gonna do with that? /s

You make a good point, so thank you for your patience in explaining your PoV. I agree that the reason they did what they did wasn’t latent sexism; that was an unintended consequence.

I remember them mentioning Phelps’ coach a few times in Beijing, but Michael was definitely the center of attention.

Congrats first to the athlete, then to the team around her. No athlete does it alone.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with mentioning the coach or parents, but the athlete herself should be the focus of the broadcast.

Yeah, I remember Michael Phelps’ coach getting all the credit for his medals. Oh, wait...

To be fair, I don’t think Hillary was actually at the convention that day.
