He agrees with George Lincoln Rockwell. His skin color is his uniform.
That is only a meaningful accomplishment in the last 25 years or so. Before that, amateur athletes rarely competed in consecutive Olympic games.
Eric Heiden won five gold medals in speed skating in 1980. He won the gold medal in EVERY speed skating event held at the time, and set Olympic records for all of them.
THAT was greatness.
Without sportsmanship victories mean nothing IMO.
No doubt.
I recall fondly the years of my youth when the losers of the Super Bowl and World Series were welcomed and celebrated at the White House.
I felt that his focus on racisn probably distracted him from the degree of concentration required to excel at that level. The other skaters were thinking about nothing but skating.
Miss Vonn too with her focus on the President must have lost her edge as well. You would think Olympic athletes would know better than that.
IF he was that old and slow, why was he there?
You should wash the sand out of your vagina.
I'm surprised the minority-loving media has not made him a household name, if he was that accomplished.
Meh:
Michael Phelps is an Olympic Legend. Usain Bolt is an Olympic Legend. Bonnie Blair is an Olympic Legend.
Legend?? LOL! This arrogant, racist punk isn’t fit to clean Eric Heiden’s jock strap.
Whiny cry baby
He’ll be working at Home Depot by May.
Davis has been a competitive speed skater for his entire adult life. He's 35 years old, for heaven's sake. By the time Heiden was 35 he had completed medical school and was in the early stages of his professional career as an orthopedic surgeon.
He’ll have a chance to win gold in the Summer Olympics’ new event— the Drive-By-Athalon debuting in (large U.S. city of your choice).
Worst.Olympics.Ever!
He started it.
Almost as good as Jeb Bush...7th
Two gold and two silver in 4x Olympics is “good” - certainly better than I can do! - but it isn’t “outstanding” by any means.
Winning four golds at one Olympics is outstanding.
Winning 4 or five golds and silvers at one Olympics is outstanding.
Winning 4 or 8 golds or silvers at 4 or 5 Olympics? That’s outstanding!
Oh wait. Black-social-justice Anti-American protester mad-as-hell-at-Trump athlete? That makes all the difference in the world!
Now, that made me laugh...:)
