Let the dipstick hang out in Chicago for a weekend.
Better not see his azz at the Olympics then. buh-bye
No problem. He should be barred from competing for the US for his remarks.
Headgear doesn't really prevent brain damage.

“Every incident, good or bad, teaches you something. I also learnt a few things. I realised who are my true friends and who are the hangers on. I realised that difference because all my good friends formed a ring of support around me,” Vijender said.
Wake up Terell.
You are running with the wrong crowd.
