Re: The 2012 London Summer Olympics Thread

Too bad we won't be seeing this hottie.





Greek athlete expelled from Olympics for racist tweet | Fourth-Place Medal - Yahoo! Sports

This pretty much sums it up for me.

I ask again: Does she deserve to be banned from the Olympics? This is no defense of Papachristou. The tweet was stupid and misguided, at best. But if this is about teaching and tolerance, then doesn't letting her compete make more sense? She's contrite about the incident. In theory, she could do more good by being on the world's biggest stage rather than being left behind in Athens.

Meanwhile, good for Greek politicians for keeping an eye on the important stuff, like the Twitter accounts of triple jumpers. I can think of literally nothing else in the country that deserves attention.
Let the girl compete.
