I would roll my eyes & be like "give me a break". Not wish for their death.

You say politicize. I say standing up for yourself and not acting like everything is a-okay.
But you do like to meet someone who paid to falsify evidence to get a warrant under false pretenses and a person who sexual assaulted women?

What a bunch of cranks! Some of you need to get a grip, sit back and watch a curling match or two to learn about teamwork. Witness the joy of 17-year-old boy winning a gold medal. Appreciate the strength and stamina of the people competing in the biathlon, and the balance and quick reaction times of the slalom skiiers.

And those of you wishing harm on athletes or anyone else involved with the Olympics, shame on you.

Good point. Way back to the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, and just about every Olympic competition since then.

How old are you, 12? Because if you were an adult who pays attention to the world around you, you'd be familiar with her many qualifications and deep experience.

Yes, I would have been. Rights are rights no matter the president.

I don't know what you're playing at, but the false assumptions are ridiculous. Even more telling is that your side defends pedophiles, domestic abusers, liars, and quite possibly traitors but then try claiming some moral high ground because someone cheated on his wife. GMAB

An interesting look at the mindset of some people.

They are so partisan, they can't imagine others are not

We didn't have to wait long for the politics to spoil the Team USA victories. Rippon had to open his mouth and 'rip' the Trump Administration as being "homophobic," and for that reason he has said he will skip the White House reception in protest.

Dishonoring his country and our President in that way at a world event like the Olympics should be cause to have his medal revoked. He doesn't deserve it.

So disgusted!

Still wondering on what basis he calls the Administration, "homophobic?"
