Greek athlete gets booted for a tweet

[Dzone]

Dang I feel bad for her. She apologized. She was sincere. Sad that she misses out on her dream because of a stupid few seconds. They should let her back on the team, but anything remotely racist anymore is a capital offense.

Re: Greek athlete gets booted for a tweet

I'm getting sick of athletes and there twitter. STFU and play your sport. No one cares what you have to say. And it only backfires on people.

But more annoying then that is the knee jerk reaction by Greece. Ok the statement was off color and racist. If a person makes a racist statement they are removed from an olympic team? It wasn't a direct racist comment made at a individual. It was a joke.

Plus she is hot a hell.

Of course she should have known better. People need to think before they tweet something.

I know the nba fines players for inappropriate tweets.

I'm with diesel on this one. Stfu, jump, run, dunk, do what you are paid to do. I don't care about your personal life.

And i concur, she is hot.
