Very nice and wish them well.

If you are wondering about the young lady with the pretty smile, her father a finalist in the 400 m at the 1984 Olympic Trials, has a very nice suntan and her mother has no apparent tan at all.

LOL!
The times that we live in… I read the headline, and I thought that this was a story about a former Olympian, who was also an NFL player, who apparently had gotten a sex change operation, or was now identifying as a female, …. Shows how the wokeness of these depraved times have effected my reading comprehension.

Oh good, a Raven for all the haters!

Anyway, great for this woman. She was very serious about her athletics. And did not dishonor anything.

A pretty smile and a bit of happiness among the tragedy and terror of today’s news.

Cute couple.

It's weird, all the ads we see on TV makes one think that only mixed races marry anymore and that if you don't have a minority neighbor living next door to you, you're a racist.

I always say if an alien lands and starts watching US television, they’ll conclude the population is 50% minority and 25% gay.

LOL - that was EXACTLY my reaction!

More proof (not that we needed it) that so-called “journalists” and “editors” are not only unable to report facts but also illiterate.
