Did you guys see all the animosty and playa hate for the American sprinters yesterday. I really thought it was Jesse Owens in Berlin all over again. It was really sad that this country blames America for it is sprinter not coming to the games, and the wild part about it, was he was going to get blowed away any way:
1. Sean Crawford
2. Bernard Williams
3. Justin Gatlin
Gold, Silver and Bronze Baby!!!!!

How naive I am. I thought they were booing the AMERICANS. Don't realize that they just had it in for the just for the AA's. Everything is not racist, my friends. If it was racist, they would have also been against the Jamacian, Bahamian, etc, there was only 1 white guy in the race.

Yes you are naive bienamor! I get news from around the world, in different languages...I have family in other countries, and have heard the talk. There are a lot of racist comments being made about black athletes (especially African Americans).

Bienamor has a small valid point; however, racism is prevelant in the Olympics still.
