i wonder which team usa members will be thrown under the bus tonight.

that's what they said. what the world heard was "i'm incredibly selfish and deserving of much more attention," and that they should give americans every opportunity to turn on each other. obviously i wouldn't want either of them on my team, but where is the weak link? is it wells and harper, or is it black women in general?

as representatives of america, of their race and gender, these 2 are miserable failures. i can only hope that is recognized and they see zero in endorsements.
 
they a have a point. they won but were overshadowed by Lolo. is that her fault? no it was the medias. i can understand the frustration

Well they did have just as traumatic or dramatic stories. Why do you think the media picked Lolo?

I'll give you a hint:

AND she's a virgin!

For ONCE I'm Ok with the media's choice.
 
30 year old virgins are fine. They have a lot to catch up. I find that flat chested women are just as horny as big bosom ones.

I don't know what the whole story is, but good for them. The media does it all the time, like this year early in the olympics, it wasn't, "Ryan Lochte wins swimming event!", the headline was, "Michael Phelps loses event." I understand doing that sort of thing when an American loses to another country's athletes, but amongst Americans, the winner should get the glory.
 
Now that women's volleyball has ended, where can a bloke go for nice scantily clad women that don't look like men?... 😀

Wait, so you guys are OK with having both US teams playing finals in VB.. but want all other sports that the US does not represent to be taken off of the Olympics? 🙄
 
If you have table tennis, then you should have darts, bowling, billiards and hot dog eating.

We'd kick ass in pub games along with the Brits and Aussies. :thumbsup:

Because the US doesn't get 232415 medals for beach volleyball you fucking communist. Just about when I thought I'd see no more medals for badminton or ping pong, there it is. Every fucking day.

Yup pretty much this. Gabby Douglas won the all around and everyone was going crazy. The radio the next morning was all about her, her family's debt blah blah but they ignored how she completely choked in all of the other events afterwards getting 7th and 8th place.. basically last and barely recognized anyone else.

Wow! you are a fucking moron.. a prime example of average ignorant American.

There are 5 events for Badminton. Singles(2), doubles(2) and mixed.

Same as Tennis.

Table Tennis has 4 events.. does not include mixed doubles.

A grand total of 9.

and a day later it was all about the other one, from mass. tomorrow it's someone else.

WOW you're a communist fuck. Answer me, how many fucking Beach Volley ball medals are there you fucking fuck fuck.

Edit: And MIX? What the fuck is MIX? Seems like another bullshit excuse for medals in an already bullshit sport to me.
