NBC is running a poll on who should carry the US flag at the Sochi Winter Games.

Why do we want to vote for her? Is she anti-homo?
LOL! Classic FR background post....
Do lefties have a problem with curling? I didn’t know this?
Ma used to have curlers in her hair.
I couldn’t care less who holds the flag at the Hunger Games.
ESPN commentators don’t like to have their applecart moved too much. Having Erika in such a prime role is sure to have their eyebrows raised in disgust. Not a figure skater, hockey player or even skier but a curler.
Their facial expressions would be priceless....
Please provide more information on why this selection would have the desired effect.
Voted for the curler. (Just because the sport mesmerizes me)
They can stick the flag pole in Bob Costas’ ass for all I care.

She's a curler. She's a compromise between kinky and straight.
Done!!!
Christopher “Chris” Fogt (born May 29, 1983) is an American bobsledder and a member of the famed Team Night Train that will travel to the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi as the defending champion in the Four-Man Bobsled. He joined Team Night Train, driven by Stephen Holcomb, after a record win in the Men’s Bobsled U.S. National Push Championship title in 2013. He has pushed for drivers on the America’s Cup and World Cup bobsled circuits, and competed in the 2010 Vancouver Games as a member of USA-2.
Chris is the record holder in the U.S. Push Challenge, and finished third in the World Push Challenge. Team Night Train opened the 2013-2014 World Cup season with seven straight golf medals for the first time in history.
Chris, a resident of Utah, is also a Captain in the U.S. Army and a participant in the World Class Athlete Program. He joined the Army in 2008 and deployed to Iraq shortly after the Vancouver Games.
Why the heck is Lindsay Vonn on the list? I thought she dropped out. Is that picture of Erin? She seems rather guilty bud……are you sure you want that to represent us?
Not bad.
Now, what’s a Push prize, and why did they get four golf trophy’s?
Well...she isn’t Titlis....
I voted for ‘other’.
Are you confusing Lindsey Vonn with Lindsey Van?
Didn’t see Vonn on the list at the link.
