RE: unfortunately, a small number of racial agitators soaked up most of the pre-Olympic headlines and poisoned public opinion.

Because the mainstream press ( and yeah, conservative media included ) keeps hyping up their tantrums.

They (LW media) found their new hero with Raven whatever her name is who won bronze in the shot put then crossed her arms on the medal stand in protest.

I went to NBC’s Peacock to see if i could find the women’s discus- an American woman (Allman) who used to be a professional dancer won gold by demolishing the field by 10+ feet. They had 20 seconds of coverage Monday night and they had a 50 second video on the NBC olympic page.

The bronze medalist who crossed her arms in protest?? Three videos available including 2 extensive interviews.

Good performance.
However, the men's 400m hurdles final was better:

I was off at the side near the bar (the watch party was held at a restaurant, not in the high school). Tons of students, faculty, alumni and parents. They pretty much only showed a room of the restaurant where the principal and track coach were.

Did Sister Percy partake in libations to celebrate the victory?? Some of those nuns like to party.
