Does everything have to come down to race nowadays? Whatever point this athlete might have had was lost when he decided to go down the road he did. I think he needs to look into a mirror for his issues.

A speedskater on Team USA lambasted the organization Thursday for not allowing him to be the flag-bearer for Friday's opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in South Korea.
The skater, Shani Davis, 35, lost a coin toss to luger Erin Hamlin, 31, after a vote ended in a tie, the Daily Mail reported. Both were among eight athletes vying to become the U.S. flag-bearer in the Parade of Nations.
I am an American and when I won the 1000m in 2010 I became the first American to 2-peat in that event. @TeamUSA dishonorably tossed a coin to decide its 2018 flag bearer. No problem. I can wait until 2022. #BlackHistoryMonth2018 #PyeongChang2018 pic.twitter.com/dsmTtNkhJs

Shani, you're one hell of an athlete and more than qualified to be the flag bearer. It wasn't right to be narrowed to a coin toss. It equally wasn't right to reference black history month reference in your retort. Only a person's accomplishments, not race, should be emphasized.

31 years-old and crying that a coin toss was unfair? Grow up, snowflake.
