Apparently we are taking the opportunity to passive aggressively insult Russia at the Olympics.

 

 

I for one am all for it.

Seems like everybody-Russia relations are at a low point right now.

Among former athletes, Billie Jean King and Brian Boitano will attend the opening ceremonies, while speed skaters Bonnie Blair, Eric Heiden, and Caitlin Cahow will be at the closing ceremonies. Both King and Cahow are openly gay.

 

Wait, Brian Boitano is not openly gay?

I don't think he is gay at all. Contrary to popular belief.

[Guest]

I don't think you know what you're talking about. He's definitely a gay, like a lot of gay.

[kujay]

Really looking forward to the hockey tournament.

I can't hear the name Brian Boitano and not think of South Park.

Russia just bought back Ukraine for $20bln and a deal on nat gas so im pretty sure they are feeling good about thwarting the the latest attempt by the EU to destroy the german economy once and for all.

He's not gay. His boyfriend is though.

 

*coulda sworn he's denied it in the past, but I guess he's never confirmed or denied it til now apparently.

The Olympics needed Russia to be the villain again. The Chinese really weren't cutting it in that respect.

 

It would be really nice for the US to beat Russia for the Gold medal in hockey.

It would give a whole new meaning to "playoff beards"

After about 17 speeches. Brutal.

[Banedon]

Keith, Sharp and Toews on the Canada team. No Crawford.

[Old Style]

I only care about hockey and that's mainly to watch the Hawks players play for their respective countries hoping that they all stay healthy.
