Will the teams be wearing their breathing masks while diving?

You're right, she should just break her rivals legs in true sportsman fashion.

If you post a picture of your fat ass here and I call you fat it's no big deal because I'm a nobody on an intarweb forum and you're also a nobody on an intarweb forum.

When one Olympic Athlete is degrading another Olympic Athlete in the media I think we have the right to think less of her for it. Such is the life of professional athletes. Deal with it.

Because she's an olympic athlete and the games are held as a sign of good will.

It's nice that China wants foreigners not to criticize the human rights record while at the games yet they feel free to sling personal insults.

this is true. its the worst when its coming from high profile atheletes.

what is far worse even, though, is what many other athletes are doing. doping. that is even more classless than verbally trash-talking a competitor, which occurs frequently in professional sports.

think about how shamefully marion jones reflected on the US olympics team. And the countless cyclists in the tour de frace.

all light hearted joking aside with the steroided chicken, etc. doping threatens to destroy the olympics.

What are the Olympics good for anyway? Artificially fostering a petty sense of nationalism? Or is the 100yd dash really that intriguing?

Yeah, who cares who's the fastest person in a world of 6 billion people. My computer's totally faster than both of them COMBINED
