Greek triple jumper removed from team for Olympic Games

[ElNono]

Top news coming in today to an overcast San Francisco is about one Olympic athlete who has been banned from the London 2012 Olympics because of a racist tweet she made.

Papachristou said: "With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!"

:lol Greek women would sooner fuck a goat than a black man

^Definitely something stupid to say when you're about to enter an international sporting event.

She fucked up an opportunity to get out of Greece c/o of UN, WB and Germany-backed money. Now she's going to be relegated to sharing her food with dem angered Africans :lmao

Just saw the YouTubes, yes it has.

[dunkman]

The Olympic committee must definitely forgive her tbh . . .

[ChumpDumper]

Cheeky.

Stupid to say, but not racist at all. For some reason "Mexican" and "African" have come to mean "Hispanic" and "Black" when they do not mean that at all.

[xellos88330]

I thought it was kinda funny. I don't understand how it could be a racist remark. She didn't say negro or black people at all.

Exactly. It was a really lame geography joke lol.

If you don't have anything intelligent to say, then don't open your baklava hole...'nuff said.

[TheRealCB]

Well it was "black" tbh,not african people..But still,I'd consider it a joke (albeit a bad one)


Plus,it was the Greek Olympic committee that banned her,not the international one,so it can still be revoked if our idiot bureaucrats get their heads out of their asses.

The Greeks have nothing intelligent to say aside from "we need more bailout money".

Well very true...but we've have had to borrow money from the Chinamen of late...so it isn't with out saying...

[TheRealCB]

But you don't depend on anyone lending you money to pay your state employees.We do.We go month-to-month with bailout money..

True...but back on topic--joke or not, she should've used more tact than that.

[tesseractive]

Exactly. It was a really lame geography joke lol.

The implied context, though, was racial scapegoating. Greeks fucked their own economy in the ass, but they want to blame African immigrants for their problems.

Against the backdrop of the Olympics -- supposedly, friendly competition amongst various nations and peoples -- that's a PR headache that I'm sure the Greek Olympic Committee wants nothing to do with.

[Indazone]

Using the metrics for banning this athlete, 90 percent of all Spurtalk posters would have been sent home. :lol

Is it just me or does this chick come off as a real floozy? I've heard Greek women will blow anything with a dick. Except Greek men, of course.
