The Sochi Olympics

I pray nothing bad happens.

I hate the summer Olympics, but the winter ones are badass.

As Daniel Tosh says, the Winter Os are where white people have chance to win.

Winter Olympics require more talent, rather than sheer athleticism.

I bet 97% of the world's population wouldn't have even heard of that town named Sochi but for the Olympics, tbh.

The most ill prepare Olympics in decades.

Fucking Russia.

If it snowed in the Caribbean and Africa we wouldn't be seeing any white athletes in Sochi.

and I thought soccer was questionable...figure skating leaves no doubt.

I always watch The Olympics. Great drama.

:lol Did you see Bob Costas's pink eye last night? There's already a twitter account for it.

[baseline bum]

Fuck Costas. The coverage got off to a predictably horrible start last night with 45 minutes about Putin and the gays before they even showed any fucking competition.

[rascal]

American media propaganda machine at work.

Too much figure skating. I like the downhill and the snowboard races all on the track at the same time (lots of wipeouts).

[rascal]

No doubt blacks are superior athletes in the sports they pursue.

Absolutely. Just let them have their day, their Olympics. Christ, we couldn't even put on a Boston Marathon without having it blown up. We've nary room.

Just about all I have heard from the American media is negative. With all Olympics there are going to be problems.

Exactly.

And it's so disappointing to see the mass wall-to-wall response right down to the local Media outposts. And the kicker is we have the same damn issues as they're condemning Russia for:::spying on their people (Barry is under attack for this very act), abuse of dogs (they run that commercial here for the last year showing animals in this country being mistreated and asking for donations).

[JudynTX]

And so it begins.......

Turkish official: Passenger with bomb tried to divert plane to Sochi.

Well Costas DID actually say "Pussy Riot" on TV.

& the other kicker:::it's a month long timeout...After it's over we'll go back to the brainwashing of a one world government...how we're all alike and nobody should be mad at nobody, and Media will take up that campaign again. But, not now. Now we have to have the old ways of the cold war...Russia Vs. U.S.A. It's all BS.

[SupremeGuy]

lol You guys are getting way too pissy about the media coverage of Sochi. Same shit was happening during the China Olympics a few years ago. I remember everyone was laughing at their CGI fireworks, talking shit about their lame attempts to hide their poverty, etc...

[SupremeGuy]

But seriously, it doesn't seem like they were nearly as prepared to host the Olympics as they were supposed to be, tbh.

Not really. Beijing opening ceremonies were bitching.

These idiots cant even lit one of the Olympic rings correctly. :lol

Chinks Olympics opening ceremony was pretty much an epic fail imho, wasting tons of money for a fucking ceremony only to show off their ugly oily faces of their government leaders and former leaders seated in those fat wide comfortable seats, with those incumbent leaders of other countries soaking their suits with sweat in the cheap crowded stage. No surprise it failed though, when the director of that shit was just a yellow version of Dwight Howard :lol

Those bitches in white shirts/skirts dancing along the track during parade of nations were the only bright spot of the whole open ceremony shit, imho.

[Avante]

Sick and tired of hearing/reading about homosexuality. I really do wish some college football player made it very clear...."yep, I suck cock"....before the draft and watch how that works. Then when some team does finally draft him the way he is treated. And don't be stupid, of course you'll hear..."couldn't care less, no big deal"......what else can they say?

Happy to see somebody making things clear.

6. Revue Olympique, August 1913. English
translation: “Furthermore, the six colours (including
the flag’s white background) thus combined
reproduce the colours of all the nations,
with no exception. The blue and yellow of
Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the tricolours
of France, England and America, Germany,
Belgium, Italy, Hungary, the yellow and
red of Spain next to the novelties of Brazil or
Australia, with old Japan and new China. Here
is truly an international symbol.” Parenthesis
mine. Notably absent from the Baron’s list of
countries are any from the continent of Africa,
further proof for the fact that Coubertin’s “colour
inspiration” was derived from national flag hues,
rather than from continents and their respective
racial connotations.

The difference between someone who doesn't have a college degree and someone else who has it is the college graduate wouldn't simply assume what wikipedia or anyone else says as golden truth. what you quoted is perhaps the official clarification of the meaning of the Olympic symbol, while in many countries it's generally believed that each of the five rings standard for a continent (the red ring standing for North and South Americas as a whole). Of course the plot was aimed at US (since people usually refer to the US simply as America), with Canada and Latin American countries bearing the collateral damages.

According to most accounts, the rings were adopted by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympic Movement) in 1913 after he saw a similar design on an artifact from ancient Greece. The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red. It is important to emphasize that Pierre de Coubertin never said nor wrote that the colors of the rings were linked with the different continents

Coubertin didn't clarify which region each ring represents but it's obvious enough, imho


http://www.cbv.ns.ca/MCHS/Greece/FAQ9.html

The color of the rings were chosen by the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C) to represent the union of the 5 continents Australia, Africa, America, Asia & Europe.
The white backround symbolizes peace thoughout the games.
The five colors from left to right are Blue, Black, Red across the top with yellow and green along the bottom. These colors are found on most flags of the world, and hold no other particular signifiance.


Blue= Europe
Yellow= Asia
Green= Australia
Red= America
Black= Africa

The Olympic Flag made its debut at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. At the end of each Olympic Games, the mayor of that host-city presents the flag to the mayor of the next host-city. It then rests at the town hall of the next host-city for four years until the Opening Ceremony of their Olympic Games.

That along with my previous post saying they are linked to flags should dispel this revisionist history. This source agrees with the world region idea, but does factually point out it was never stated to be.

it doesn't matter what the official voice says imho. There does exist such a prevalent belief that each ring of the Olympic symbol represents a continent, and that's enough of a reason for those Russian dicks to play such an unfunny joke imho. Some people just never learn how to use their brains, they just believe whatever the teacher preaches. It may work fine in primary education and secondary education but college students don't learn knowledge that way (sure you don't know it...)

Well, it is obvious that people are not being educated correctly. I don't think we will never know if the technical glitch was by accident or design. Your opinion may very well be correct. I'm not going to agree or disagree with that.

Figure skating dominates the coverage, will be on almost every night. Women like the figure skating. You want to see mens downhill they make you sit through figure skating or take the chance of coming back just in time to see the event you want to see.

No ones skin is yellow. :lol:: For that as the reason.

[rascal]

The colors represent the primary colors of all the flags of all the countries. The rings represent the 5 continents and no ring represents any specific continent or country. Americans are stupid sensitive asses.

[Rogue]

No one said their skin was so yellow as Goddess's blonde hair (it's a horrible comparison for Goddess of course, but I can't think of anything else at the moment except Goddess, sorry Goddess :cry). Here color is just a relative identification imho, they're yellow compared to other races so they're called yellows. Similarly, America got the red ring because native americans (American Indians) have "red" skin, but sure it doesn't mean their skin is as red as their blood. they're only called so in contrast to other races, imho.
