Some canadian fans will never miss an opportunity to make some nasty comment regarding Russia, thats becoming annoying. First look at the mirror and then write something like that.
ROFL....Some humans will never miss an opportunity to read some type of ethnic slur into every comment they see, regardless of the actual point of a post on a message board....that's extremely annoying, too.
So, let me clarify, before you get all wound up in something that you only thought you understood - my reference to Svetlana Khorkina had nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that she's Russian. It was entirely about her little tirade when the Russian gymnastics team won the silver medal at the Olympics a few years ago - in which, the diva that she is, yanked off her silver medal because she believed she deserved Gold, and didn't want to suffer the indignity that she somehow felt came along with the color of a medal of a lesser metal.
Honestly, how you can imagine it was some kind of cruel comment regarding "Russians" is beyond me. It was a comment regarding one specific individual. Perhaps there are other examples of other athletes from other countries, including Canada, I don't know. But, that was the example that most clearly popped into my little brain.
Relax, my friend. Unless of course, your name is Svetlana Khorkina..then I might understand why you'd be a little testy.
