Hope the purple-haired kneeling lesbian and crew get eliminated in the knock-out round.

Rooting for one person only......Kenny Bednarek. He was on the track squad with ms son in 2019 at Indian Hills CC when both were all Americans.

Kenny in 100 and 200 meter runs, my boy in 10,000 meter.

I won’t root for a team that does that.

Actually, I won’t watch any of the Olympics because they are allowing perverted biological males to compete against women.

If not for the handful of arrogant loudmouths on this team, I would not laugh about this loss. But, here we are.

Nasty dried-up dykes.

Can’t apply that to the whole team. But the obnoxious loudmouths … most definitely.

This is what happens when you let Sweden use a high school boys team in the Olympics.

Professionalization of the Olympic suck. All athletes should be amateur. No one older than 21. My opinion. My rules.
