Does it strike anyone else as weird that people are getting so worked up over one person refusing to participate in a show of patriotism that typically has a ~99.99999% participation rate, meanwhile voting, an unquestionably more consequential and meaningful show of patriotism, has participation rates in the dumper,…

The point is that he was being perfectly quiet about it and then someone threw a stink. So when asked for his opinion, he gave it, and then idiots came around with their dumb opinions and misunderstandings of what free expression actually is. It is extremely offensive for couch warriors to sit and complain about how…

I’m disappointed there wasn’t mention that this was a race-related killing.

Damn, that is some zero Kelvin burn!

That’s just like gold to us!

Ha, yeah. I grew up in a border town and clued in around the Atlanta Olympics that NBC’s coverage was.....slanted, let’s say. CBC obviously does focus on Canadian athletes (e.g. Pennyyyyy yeah girl yeah!) but they’re giving Ledecky and other dominant success stories the coverage and respect they deserve. Plus CBC’s…

If you can find a feed from CBC going forward, never have to worry about a delay again.

I read somewhere that (as of this morning) every Canadian medal was won by women. I thought that was cool.

Right? I’m loving her! Bonus: good role model for my girls! The commentators were talking about how she didn’t make it into a swim club the first time she tried out. And now she’s a freaking high school student with three medals. My 7 year old is just in awe.
