SOREST LOSER Shani Davis BOYCOTTS Opening Ceremony Over Losing “Racist” Coin Toss

Yesterday I told you about the A-HOLE American speedskater who cried RACISM when he lost a coin toss to determine who the American flag bearer for the Olympic opening games would be.

Catch up here.

Basically the athletes all voted – Erin and Shani were tied 4-4, so they tossed a coin. Erin won – Shani cried RAAAACISM.

He tweeted about the “dishonorable” coin toss, and invoked Black History Month, saying he was looking forward to the 2020 Olympics.

Dude… you’ve lost A LOT of support over this little stunt of yours… I wouldn’t look forward to 2020 too hard if I were you…

Anyway

Let’s talk about how LOVELY Erin is, because SHE should be the real focus here.  That GOD for that coin – because this woman is SO much more deserving of representing our nation. She’s gracious, humble, and incredibly talented.

THAT is someone I want carrying my flag.

Shani, on the other hand, boycotted the opening ceremony. He’s still maaaaaad about that RACIST COIN.

According to this:

Erin Hamlin has led Team USA out for the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang after being named as flag carrier ahead of Shani Davis, who boycotted the ceremony.

Hamlin, a four-time Olympian and winner of a luge bronze medal at the 2014 Sochi games, beamed a broad smile as she led out the athletes competing at the games in South Korea to the accompaniment of ‘Gangnam Style’.

The 31-year-old was chosen in a coin toss with speedskater Shani Davis, one of just a few black athletes in Team USA, who says he should have been chosen to carry the Stars and Stripes.

Davis, 35, a five-time Olympian who has won two gold medals and two silver medals, lost after a vote among sports federations represented at the games ended in a tie.

Obviously the tie was ALSO racist.

Racist tie, racist coin… you know how it is.

Erin Hamlin has dealt with everything gracefully:

Hamlin, the first American to medal in luge singles and a winner of 23 World Cup medal, has already announced this will be her last Olympics as she is retiring immediately after these games.

In a statement she said she was ‘honored and excited’ to be named flag-bearer adding ‘this is something totally different’.

‘It’s something that is because of that hard work. People acknowledge that and respect that. It’s a big privilege to represent Team USA.’

Hamlin did not address the controversy but told USA Today: ‘Winning a medal is the effort you put in and the time and the work and sacrifice to succeed and achieve something. That’s all on me. That’s something I’ve done.

‘I think they’re going to be really glad that they made that decision.

‘They’re really pumped. I’m sure my brothers will be. We’ve grown up watching the Olympics and we’re always like, ‘Who’s going to be carrying the flag?’ And to actually be that person is insane.’

Hamlin’s teammates were thrilled by the news, both because of what it will mean for her and what it means for the niche sport of luge.

They’re trying to cover up for him now, but I’m not really buying it:

Davis, 35, a five-time Olympian who has won two gold medals and two silver medals, lost after a vote among sports federations represented at the games ended in a tie.

A U.S. speed skating spokesman said Davis had not originally planned to march in the parade of nations later on Friday, but would have made an exception if he had been chosen as flag-bearer

‘Shani won’t march in the parade. It was never part of his plans. He is fully focused on his first race and is concentrating on that,’ the spokesman said.

In an angry tweet, Davis, took a shot at Hamlin, the holder of a single bronze medal.

‘I am an American and when I won the 1000m in 2010 I became the first American to 2-peat in that event,’ Davis wrote on Twitter.

He then slammed Team USA for ‘dishonorably’ tossing a coin to decide who would have the honor of carrying the flag.

‘No problem. I can wait until 2022,’ he added before using the hashtag #BlackHistoryMonth2018.’

So he was ONLY going to take part in opening ceremonies if he was front and center?

Really?

Does that make it any better? Either way he’s a narcissistic a-hole…

And if anything, it makes it that much MORE pathetic that he threw his little tantrum.

Why complain about not being front and center of something you didn’t want to go to in the first place?!?!

What a bunch of SOUR GRAPES.
