Who decides who goes to the Olympics?

[thereisnospoon]

Obama has zero say in what athletes go to the Olympics. The delegation is different.

I'm damn proud that he gave the russian homophobic society a big ol' middle finger with the delegation he sent. I'd like to see some of that spine in other areas of his presidency.

Then he chose to demean all that the Olympics is about.

The Olympics is all about the persecution of homosexuals?

Who told you that?

Yes...it is...

There are 6 openly gay athletes competing at Socchi. One Gold amongst them so far. Cons must be outraged.

Gay rights is a political issue. Political issues have no place at the Olympics.

Gay rights are a human rights issue. I suggest you read the Olympic charter.

Not in the rest of the world. In the rest of the world, homosexuality is illegal and immoral. You lose. But thanks for playing.

One of these days you conservatives need to wake up, clear your heads, and once and for all realize that you have lost your battle against gay rights.

When you chose to be conservatives, you chose to be losers. Try to play your role with some dignity.

That has to be the most transparent comment on this thread.
Your hatred of all people who dare to not kowtow to the lib agenda is noted.

Olypics are about athletes. Not about who ***** someone up the ass or loves *****.

What part of sports don't you ******* idiots get? Why can't you leave something alone and instead have to turn it into "your" ******* someone and "your"sexuality and then you have the ******* balls to turn around and say that I as a conservative want to push my life onto yours? Really truly go **** yourselves.

Libs politicize everything.

This is not a troll thread. The fact that trolls have attempted to ruin it is secondary.

It is not my fault if people simply cannot see how our own president has politicized the Olympics with an issue that is a NON issue in the rest of the world.
