Oh, that helps a lot!

And she's very fast. ...wins this race.

[dfwgator]

Unfortunately she didn’t qualify for London.

[Revolting cat!]

Tomorrow's headlines today:

Hellas Fellas Zealous!

The Golden Dawn? Sounds like a bunch of trippy dippy hippies to me:

Too bad for Greece..they could have taken her used panties after every workout and put them on eBay and the country would have gone from debt to a surplus...

bump for after work viewing

Woo Hoo! ...and how about this Australian swimmer catching all the flack for her twitter pics?

ROFLMAO...

Sick but hilarious!

[dfwgator]

The good news is, Leryn Franco will be in London

[Dysart]

Alright! Put another shrimp on the barbie, mate.

[Dysart]

Dig the attitude from the girl in the background. She’s hatin.

[Rennes Templar]

What a waste over a Tweet!

[SeminoleCounty]

Wonder how many Black Athletes have been sent home or denied participation for calling for the murder of George Zimmerman?

Her comments may have not been in good taste...but they were not so offensive to kick her off the team.

She got kicked off because she favors a right wing political party...and the IOC (along with its member nations) are quite liberal...all Globalists are liberals.

Of course, nothing being done about the IOC’s anti-Semitism for not honoring the 11 slain Jewish athletes at Munich

The Founders studied Greek Democracy very closely.

That's why they didn't put a right to vote in the Constitution.

Wow! What a beautiful girl. Your loss Greece. Maybe she’ll emigrate here after obozo loses.

[ExCTCitizen]

She was kicked off for supporting a right wing party. That would be like Phelps being kicked off the US Swim team for saying that Romney will win.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I see a toe.

[sargon]

"With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!"

Exactly how is this statement racist?

Did this athlete, at some point, say something else that actually was racist?

The only conclusion I can draw from this story is that political correctness seems to be running amok in the world...

[9YearLurker]

It’s because the leftists know her politics. Had a supporter of theirs tweeted that joke, nothing would have come of it.
