Richardson should immediately self-identify as a Rastafarian, and say that the marijuana was used for religious purposes.

PASTAFARIAN:

[Mr Rogers]

Are the fingernails to claw anyone who gets ahead of her? And I'm triggered by the cultural appropriation. I've seen photos of her with blond or red hair. Black don't have those hair colors. She's trying to look like a European.

Cancel her.

Once a pothead always a pothead.

I remember Flo-Jo (Florence Griffith-Joyner) who had some serious fingernails, she was a beautiful woman. Tragically died very young.

[Theoria]

Richardson runs like her. She was really peaking at a great time. A beautiful runner.

If that’s what it takes, do it,,,,,get rid of these potheads and put the trannies in a category for themselves. Give the talented women a break for a change. NZ athletes must be a bunch of sickos.

--"the marijuana was used for religious purposes." Marijuana for religious purposes?

“They said that marijuana was a ‘performance-enhancing drug.’ Marijuana enhances many things — colors, tastes, sensations, but you are certainly not f - - king empowered. When you’re stoned, you’re lucky if you can find your own goddamn feet. The only way it’s a performance-enhancing drug is if there’s a big f - - king Hershey bar at the end of the run.”

That’s my attitude.

A friend of mine got kicked off an Olympic team years ago for pot. He went full bore and ended up in jail for dealing heroin. Became a Christian and after his release devoted his life to helping junkies get clean.

Sha’Carri’s have privileges.

pronounced "Sha-postrophe-Carri's" (among other obvious privileges)

Is that broad wearing caterpillars on her eyes?

Who? Who puts on false eyelashes to run a race?

I'm not saying pot use always leads to much worse addictions, but its impossible to stay in peak condition with continued use. I had a good friend who was a very good hockey player. He made it to major-junior in Canada, which is the main proving ground for NHL. He was invited to some NHL team summer prospect camps. He smoked pot "recreationally" but often enough. Got injured in a game, gained a bit of weight, got slow. Played a little ECHL professional hockey, but he never stopped smoking and I feel, lost his edge and drive - and that was the end of any professional career

thass a man

To say she’s flamboyant is an understatement.

Crap on US Flag ok though!!!
