Olympics official slams US for including gay athletes in delegation

"A senior IOC member has slammed the US for including gay athletes in its official delegation to the Olympics next month. Mario Pescante, former vice president of the International Olympics Committee, is reported to have said the US should not be ‘promoting’ gay rights while in Sochi."

Yeah, we should hide them away.. like we're not proud of our brilliant Gay athletes.

1. fuck him and the horse he rode in on

the Olympics are a joke and the IOC is a bigger joke

is there any organization that's as corrupt as the IOC

[TexasTowelie]

2. I was going to say New Jersey,

but that's the gubernatorial administration--not the organization.

[Cha]

12. However Corrupt is Corrupt..

whatever it is.. and, the Christie Admin seems to have been vying for top spot for a few years now. Fortunately for us.. they overreached by miles!

[okaawhatever]

28. Corruption Olympics. Team NJ Gov. vs. IOC. IOC claims deep bench and years of experience. NJ Gov

team claims heart and passion for winning......

[Cha]

11. Exactly. Thank you, dlwickham..

4. They are on Putin's payroll.

Russia will not even begin to be free until Putin & his cronies are gone.

[Cha]

5. He's a disgrace for saying such a thing, William..

"absurd"? Really?

[William769]

6. What would the world be like without a little color?

Russia!

[Cha]

9. Very Dull, William!

[freshwest]

7. The guys saying absurd are using the playbook the ones calling same sex marriages fake. ARGH! n/t

[Cha]

10. Yes, it ugly and it's

bigoted. But too bad for them, fresh..

[Pretzel_Warrior]

8. Fuck you, IOC!

[Cha]

13. And, the horse it rode in on..

15. I wish our Olympic uniforms were rainbow colored

The IOC guy is an ignorant idiot.

[Cha]

16. That would be something, KauaiK!

Yes, very ignorant.

18. Fuck the Olympics "Official"...

... he's trying to deflect attention away from the Olympic committee itself, since they should have either canceled or moved it to another country. Not only do we have to put up with Putin and his redneck bigots over the Gays, now all Olympians security is at stake! I personally think the whole thing should be called off. I would not put one Olympian from ANY country in possible harms way. How many fucking omens do they need???

[Cha]

19. Thanks for helping to get obscene ignorance

exposed, ReRe!

[ReRe]

21. Really!

Are there any grown-ups left on this planet? Putin should have called it off, himself. I will come unglued if one little hair on any visitor's head is TOUCHED.

[DeSwiss]

20. So he's all for promoting (and profiting from).....

...the exploitation of the concept of ''world-wide understanding through participation and competition in sports,'' but only so long as your sexual partners meet Olympic Committee approval, first. Hmmm, I guess non-heterosexuals lose all their points on the mounts and dismounts.

- What a wanker.....

25. We need some of this ---->

the story behind it:

[Cha]

26. Mahalo for this, napkinz..

I watch the vids tomorrow!

[napkinz]

31. it would be nice if there were some universal gesture ...

that the athletes could make to show their support for Russia's LGBT population. Something powerful, like the fist pump from the 1968 Olympics.

[Cha]

32. I still haven't had time to

watch.. I'm out the door soon.. but, wouldn't a fist pump work.

Or?...

[Bluenorthwest]

27. The Olympic Committee is a right wing group. Read up on the predulde to Berlin.

There were calls for a boycott of the 36 Berlin games, for obvious reasons. The Committee was not supportive. They sent a representative, Avery Brudage, to Germany who reported dutifully that there was no discrimination in Germany against Jews or anyone else and concluded that the stories of oppression were bogus, a creation of a conspiracy to hurt Hilter's reputation, a conspiracy of the communists and the Jews!
So we went. The school books tell us of Jesse Owens, of whom we should be proud, but the books do not bother to mention the only two Jewish athletes on the US Team, Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller, who were pulled from competition on the day of their race by Brundage.
We did not allow our Jewish athletes to compete that day. Later, there were events such as 'WW2' and 'the Holocaust' which demonstrated how wrong those who refused to boycott had been.

29. They're just pissed the US has stopped insanely bribing them at the rate we used to

I like the Olympics but man the IOC has been caught taking bribes so many times... screw them.

[Cha]

30. Kick for those who don't have

the time.

33. Fishy Mario's comment is, frankly, OBSCENE. The little shitheel should be ASHAMED of himself.

I'm glad he said it, though.

He'll go down in history as one of the World's Intolerant Dickheads, a "last gasper" of an Age of Intolerance. Everything he has done to this point will be subsumed by this DUMBASS remark. Everything he's built his life and reputation on is swept away. All that stands for his lifetime of effort is this "I am a bigoted idiot" comment.

Enjoy your ignominious place in history, Mario! You are, indeed, an ASSHOLE!

[Cha]

34. Righteous Rant, MADem!

I approve of that message!
