The people at the top who don't want to end up paying for the talent, and keep the income for themselves?


Said people have developed many useful idiots to defend against athletes getting paid I'll give you that.
The President is a fink.

Ryan Lochte loses all 4 of his sponsors.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

The amazing thing is just by happenstance this story got reported
Lochte just told his mother and thought it would go no further
Well Australia TV was out filming a story on an Australian athlete
After they were done, they searched hard for a cab to go back to the sports venues
Could not find a cab but noticed a shuttle bus going to the sporting venues so they got on.
The shuttle bus made several stops at hotels picking up passengers
One lady was having difficulty boarding so the Australian TV reporters got out of their seats to help the lady
They got into a conservation with the lady
She was complaining about her ankle and all the problems she was having in Rio
She even mentioned that her son was robbed at gunpoint
Robbery in Rio, pretty common
Then the Lady mentions that her son dyed his hair white not realizing the pool would change the color
The reporters lightbulbs go off, they ask if her son is Ryan Lochte, she says yes
Australia TV puts out the news on twitter and the rest is history.

I was just now wondering what Tonya Harding was doing who was banned for life from figure skating.

She and her former husband sold a sex tape for 200k. She won a couple boxing matches. She set a land speed record in a vintage gas coupe. She appeared in one regular movie. She played in a not very successful band.

And this:
Quote:
In late 1996, she used mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help revive an 81-year-old woman, Alice Olson, who collapsed at a bar in Portland, Oregon, while playing video poker.

I didn't watch a minute of the thing because
I knew some caring soul would provide a
highlights video. So nice, so sweet.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

'According to the AP, athletes are "almost certain to come into contact with disease-causing viruses that in some tests measured up to 1.7 million times the level of what would be considered hazardous on a Southern California beach. A more recent study found "super bacteria" both in the water and on popular tourist beaches. According to Reuters, this bacteria can cause urinary, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and bloodstream infections in addition to meningitis, all of which are hard to treat.'

And the hospitals there are overcrowded crap
holes. Why would you even go there as a
spectator. The Olympic Village is such a
disaster, with over flowing toilets and backed
up sinks, the Australian athletes are staying
in a hotel downtown.


What a great Olympics
Hmm, another EB off the rails post
Reminds me of his ebola mania posts
As usual , EB gets it totally wrong
