I no longer even care about their skill. Nadia Comenic did 10s back in 1976. It’s all been anti climactic since. Of course that was back when we knew what a woman was.

But, how can Andrade be black if she's from Brazil. She'd be Hispanic in this country.

Does this mean white Hispanics count as white people?

This guy is literally using American politicized notions of race to describe a Brazillian woman. Note: It doesn’t matter if she has some African ancestry. The point still stands. Our issues don’t even apply to them andits rather RACIST to use her for that. BTW, the author is a white man.

don’t care what color gymnasts are ...

I only care about their skill.

You must be white then. Seems like we’re the only ones who just enjoy watching skilled athletes regardless of skin color. To everyone else, that’s all that matters. Just watch any of the ESPN sports shows. That’s all they talk about.Blacks have excelled and performed at the QB position for how many years now? And yet go to ESPN.com and they’re still talking about the year of the “black quarterback”

I’ve been watching them all week and it never crossed my mind that they’re all black. They’re just incredibly gifted athletes.

NPR is mostly white liberal women. They hate themselves and they don’t even know it.

We're past that now. BTW, the last two Black QBs to win the Super Bowl are really biracial, Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson.

If it were swimming, it would be news.

Swimming has objective scoring.

Generally race is more important than merit?

Fine but can they still make pancakes? What do you use gymnastics for in your daily life. I can’t think of anything.

Yawn...

No offense to these ladies intended, but the Olympics are
nothing but a bad reminder of how they used to be before they
were changed to draw in women.

I say, let them have it. Not interested in the slightest.

Wait! There are Olympic games going on? Tried to tune in last week, but when realized it was just some sort of satanic festival, we stopped recording on the DVR.

“She’d be Hispanic in this country.”

They don’t speak Spanish in Brazil.

Nowhere in the article is there a reference to African Americans. Rebecca Andrade is black, as noted in the article. What is insulting and dehumanizing about calling her black?

Did you know that there are black people in many countries around the world? It’s true!
