“...I doubt Fire Marshall Bill, Homey D. Clown, Men on Films, and Jamie Fox as Wanda Wayne would be allowed on air now.”

The Wayans brothers and Jamie Fox have long ago joined the “Kill Whitey” bandwagon. They’ve become just like the rest of their “bruthas” gettin’ on with the “shtruggle”. All of the multi-millions they made off of their “comedy” show and movies didn’t prove a damn thing to them about equality of opportunity in this country. These people are stark-raving nuts.

I don’t follow gymnastics, but I did catch the Olympic Trials yesterday. Gabby is definitely a legacy pick. She we would not have made this team if it was not for her performance four years ago. She made several huge errors and did not look like she wanted to be there.

Hernandez was amazing and was the breakout star at trials.
Her eyes truly captured everyone’s attention, indeed.
As far as racism goes, the U.S. team already had the guaranteed qualification of Simone Biles. I just don’t think Gabby earned her spot this time. It reminded me of four years ago when another Olympic All-Around Gold Medalist Nastia Liukin failed in her attempt to go to a second games.
Living near Baltimore, I am able to stay up to speed on Michael Phelps, who is now headed to his recording setting fifth Olympiad. He is, I believe, the most decorated Olympic swimmer in history. Plus he probably has added incentive/motivation now that he has a baby son at home.
Don’t quite follow track and field much.
Wishing all our Olympians the best of luck in Rio next month.
Hope they all can avert the Zika mosquitoes and survive the polluted waters.
Just would be so beautiful, again, if Ragan had been chosen by Martha Karolyi, who BTW is retiring after these games.
I’ll always remember her husband, Bela, going back to 1984 with Mary Lou Retton through 1996 when he literally carried an injured Keri Strug after she completed her vault to secure that team gold.
It will be so strange to not have the Karolyis involved in USA Women’s Gymnastics any longer.
Perhaps, Ragan’s coach and Bela favorite Kim Zmeskal may ascend to oversee their famous ranch and supervise our program.

It seemed like gabby couldn’t stay on a balance beam to save her life but they don’t need her for the BB. Reagan was the only one who didn’t have the physique of a Greco-Roman wrestler.

Everybody get your eyes off her nips for a moment and look what’s hanging around her neck.

Is she a Christian?
