The US has 600-odd athletes in Rio. Except for Michael Phelps and the gymnasts this malcontent - a fencer, no less - has been given a surfeit of airtime.

She wasn’t worth any air time at all.... and now she is gone, eliminated in the 2nd round. So many other US athletes will accomplish more in Rio and never get a glimmer of the publicity that has been squandered on her.

Well there is still a team competition she is part of, I’m almost tempted to root against a US national team for the first time in my life, coz I sure don’t want to see any more about her!!

Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky, and the gymnasts have earned their airtime. Mizz Terrorist Mohammedan has not. Others, like Virginia Thrasher, have earned airtime and not gotten it.

Of course she has.
She is member of Hillary’s protected species.
Phelps is a member of Hillary’s hated species.

Only two types of Muslims, Terrorists and their cheerleaders. Obviously doesn’t even know the history of her perverted so-called religion.

Don’t knock fencers. I was one in college and we had a literally UN of members - all races, religions, ethnic origins - and a Chinese restaurant owned by one of our coaches’ family (Good food too).

In fact, as I remember, most of our conference (Middle Atlantic Conference) teams had very diverse members of their teams long before “diversity” was ever heard of.

There was no discrimination. Nobody hated anybody.

We were all proud of our team/teammates, coaches, schools and our country.

In fact, my teammate mentor, (Lt.) Geoff Hamm, of Pennsylvania, was killed in action in Vietnam in 1967. He was our first All-American fencer in decades, an ROTC graduate, and really nice guy. He was an all-around ALL AMERICAN, not this whiny little black convert to Islam.

Miss Ishkibibel is a disgrace to the sport, her teammates, the Olympics and our country. End of story!
