    It's like "aww the poor little brown kid finally did a solid, otherwise they suck... yay!!!"

    seriously?
  4. it's like last woman standing in the Main Event.

    nothing wrong with reporting a fact.

    hahaha and nobody noticed either
  10. Oh I noticed on page one. It's a big deal just like Afghanistan having their first female Olympian competing this year or when Cathy Freeman won her medal in track and field for Australia in the Sydney games. They are all ground breaking achievements.
     
  11. Before I moved out of Philly, I worked mostly in schools in bad neighborhoods. Really bad. If this girl winning makes those kids feel good, great. They need some hope.

    That being said, if I was the "First Irish-Catholic" to do whatever, you can bet your ass Bob Costas wouldn't be talking about it.
  12. that_pope is the worst poster in OT.

    thanks for checking in every few days when you get bored of 2+2 and for bumping old threads, bro. you are the man.

    Why does the site allow posts in threads after 12 hours then? Simply lock every thread older than 12 hours and you won't have this 'problem'.
  14. feel free to post however you want. you just suck

  15. No problem with this story, I just think equal attention should have been paid to noted whiteboy Galen Rupp. C'mon, UK and US finishing 1-2 in the 10,000? Whiteboy on the podium? Although Costas probably would have handled that poorly, like how people kinda lost their shit about Jeremy Wariner.

    Anyway, Costas is hot farts which like the smell of themselves too much.
  16. Is the hair a dye job or a toupe?
  17. Seriously. You just fucking bumped all 3 of these threads with zero content just BS remarks? Come on DW slow the roll.

    yeah I'm not an announcer or anything, but i definitely noticed that it was the first medal by a white person in a distance event in a while.

    I do believe this was noted. That said, gymnastics is a "marquee" event and gets a ton more media exposure than a boring race around an oval featuring endless left turns.
  20. just sounds like they're revealing that the event is historic. it's a big deal whenever the "first" of anything happens.

    I just solved a mystery. Break time.
  27. Only on NBC would Costas be allowed to deliver that sanctimonious bullshit.
