Harsh! Wonder if she knew this was a possible repercussion? I'm not thinking it's fair, to be honest.

 

[Pho_King]

Still trolling, eh cupcake?

 

[Swagger]

To be fair, though, it weren't a bad gag.

Why do you think it unfair?

Athletes aren't allowed to have opinions?

She got booted because Greece is depending on private Corporations paying for their teams and were afraid her comments would be bad for business.

While gearing up for her first Olympic games on Sunday, Papachristou commented on the reported influx of West Nile mosquitos in Athens. She tweeted in Greek, "With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!" Her tweet provoked a bevy of ill responses, and many Greeks called for her dismissal from the Olympic team.

Anyone in public eye that has a twitter or FB acct, and is using their real identity, is an idiot.

That being said... way too harsh, but what do I care? The Olympics are a PC nightmare... screw em.

Why do you think it unfair?

Because after training a lifetime to get to the Olympics, I cannot believe she would do something stupid enough to throw it all away. I.E.: had she known the cost, she would not have posted.

Yep... I feel bad for her.

If she has any class she will hang up in his ear.

 

[Artevelde]

This is indeed unfair. It wasn't smart of her to post this, but in no way should she be barred from the Olympics.
Besides, who are they to speak? They can't even bring up the courage to remember the murdered Israeli athletes.

I don't know about anyone else, but a trend of glaring double standards has been rising its ugly head of late. British Labour MP, Dianne Abbott, tweeted this racist comment on Twitter to a journalist, yet faced no sanction, whatsoever. And she remains in office.

I white athelete tweets a risque joke and her chances of competing in the Olympics are in tatters. Something's definitely not right here.

 

[Unkotare]

Nothing "unfair" about it. She can think what she wants, she can say what she wants, and she can tweet what she wants. She can also take responsibility for it and accept the consequences. She wasn't going to London representing herself, she was going there representing her country.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

More incredible intolerance from the left. Why do they hate free speech so much?
