Who cares what Tony Parker thinks? Jesus Christ!

[Poser]

I hadn't heard this yet. This is great!

[VRWCmember]

They had brought white flags to wave in celebration, but instead they waved them in surrender.

[Malesherbes]

How is it that Tony Parker becomes a spokesman for Paris? Isn't Chirac bad enough?

[snarks_when_bored]

Perhaps the French won't send any athletes to the London Olympics.

But how will we know?

[LongsforReagan]

I know, I got giddy reading this piece.

Sacre bleu!!

LOL!

[ConorMacNessa]

Poor Frenchies - first Freedom Fries and now this!

"It’s been three times now that Paris has been refused — 1992, 2008 and 2012. I find that bizarre,” Parker said.

Look around Tony. There are plenty of cities around the world that have been turned down at least as many times.

BTW, whos CARES what you think? Expecially when you start to claim racism in the choice!

Yeah, that's why they picked Beijing, keep it Anglo-Saxon. Oh wait, aren't they Asian???

[Alexander Rubin]

Keep on whining, Tony. There are many reasons why the French didn't get the Olympics, and many reasons why the French are intensely disliked. And no, I would not be surprised if there was some overlap between the two, rather than just a simple preference for Anglo-Saxon countries.

[AntiGuv]

French President Jacques Chirac, who had traveled to Singapore for the city’s final presentation to the IOC.

The jig was up right then and there...

[steveegg]

And how many medals do the Frogs have?

[dead]

[GVnana]

The French do. Think Jerry Lewis.

[Blzbba]

"I don’t know what more we could have done. "


Stop being 'French', for starters.

[TShaunK]

Bwahahahahahaha!!!

[Tiger Smack]

Tony Parker of the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs said Paris’ loss..

Wtf??? who the fuk cares what Tony Parker thinks?

[dfwgator]

How do you say Schadefreude in French?

[RJL]

"It’s been three times now that Paris has been refused — 1992, 2008 and 2012. I find that bizarre,”

I wonder if the French and Russians working to cheat the Canadian ice skate pair David Pelletier and Jamie Sale in 2002 had any play in this decision?

>Poor Frenchies - first Freedom Fries and now this!

"Mon dieu! First vultures,
and now, no Olympics. Merde!
It sucks being France!"

[An Old Marine]

"It proves that the committee is Anglo-Saxon. They prefer the English.”

Or maybe everyone just hates the French.
