Faux News complains about "make up" of USA Olympic Team

[Va Lefty]

"The United States will be represented in the 2018 Winter Olympics by the most diverse group of athletes ever—and Fox News’ Executive Vice President John Moody is pissed."

"In an op-ed on Fox News, he writes that having fewer white people on the team means that the United States won’t get as many medals."

""Unless it’s changed overnight, the motto of the Olympics, since 1894, has been “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” It appears the U.S. Olympic Committee would like to change that to “Darker, Gayer, Different.” If your goal is to win medals, that won’t work.""

I mean, just don't know what to say to these assholes. Really does strerch the limits of credulity.

1. He knows his audience. Fox is a rabidly racist righwing KKK media outlet and they

are promoting civil war.

[uponit7771]

3. +1

[Va Lefty]

6. Only in Traitor don's america

[mountain grammy]

40. Yep

[Me.]

2. Au Contraire

I'll take a money bet that we don't lose in the medal count...white. black, gay. straight, so on and so forth

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. His racist comment really means he would rather lose than have POC getting

those medals, he and his viewers would

[pandr32]

31. Sounds about right

Shameful

[ploppy]

4. That is pretty digusting

It also makes me want to cry.

[struggle4progress]

7. "I'm still angry that we sent Jesse Owens to Munich!"

[DinahMoeHum]

8. That dumb white monkey can go eat a bag of dicks.

[irisblue]

17. don't hold back ..

[Codeine]

30. Unless he likes dicks, in which case

no dicks for him!

[Old Vet]

34. Jesus Christ, You cant make this shit up. Cant believe this man really said this...........

BTW- Happy Valentines Day Codeine

[Ligyron]

39. You need a valentine.

and much more for the "door buzzard" quip.

[greyl]

9. I hope that costs him his job at least.

That's severely offensive.

[MaryMagdaline]

10. This guy is an executive VP of a major news medium?

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. You racist, bigoted, MFer! You don't deserve

the air you breathe Herr Moody.

[SharonClark]

12. Wow! He is racist and stupid.

So lazy white people would get more medals because they are white and not the top performing athletes. That only makes sense at faux.

[shenmue]

13. Fuck this asshole!

[DBoon]

14. John Moody's right arm must get awfully sore

[Awsi Dooger]

15. I'm glad they don't even try to pretend anymore

The clips and quotes come in handy

[Ilsa]

16. He will just ignore that the athletes beat the

White athletes he's bragging on. Completely bigotted, racist, and wrong. There were no handicaps assigned to get top three rankings in US. He should watch and learn.

[lpbk2713]

18. No surprise. Only a Faux exec would say that in public.

Even though others may think it.

[Kirk Lover]

19. I mean does he really believe this? They want the best and doesn't matter what

color or religion or whatever the fuck else it is.

The opening ceremony with all our athletes shows EXACTLY what America looks like, no matter what these assholes say.

[IluvPitties]

20. Fox News, poisoning America!

[Different Drummer]

21. There is a serious lack of brain cells at Fox...but we knew that. n/t

[Initech]

22. Fuck off Nazi asshole!

[RandomAccess]

23. PREPOSTEROUS

and infuriating.

Dear God I hate hot free bigots feel these days to air their ugly bigoted thoughts and sentiments.

[Leghorn21]

24. Is Adam Rippon worried about anything this John Moody loser has to say??!

I DON’T THINK SO

[RobinA]

35. Right

How will figure skating ever survive the new trend of gay figure skaters put on the team by political correctness. Wait...what? GOLD medals? Never mind.

[lunasun]

25. Fuck you FOX freak Moody and Fuck you Pence too for stirring up shit lies

leave the Olympics alone
different ?

[MLAA]

27. +1000

[gopiscrap]

26. OMG what a fucking pig

[dawg day]

28. You know, that's kind of what Hitler was saying until he met Jesse Owens

[tblue37]

29. Jesse Owens. Greg Louganis. Apparently he thinks people of color and gay people don't win medals.

We could make very long lists to disprove that premise.

[RobinA]

36. Louganis

is a twofer to these idiots. And he was diving god. Unbeatable.

[ProudLib72]

41. Remember this

Did Louganis Act Properly? : Diving: Some wonder whether he should have revealed he was HIV-positive during '88 Games.: http://articles.latimes.com/1995-02-24/sports/sp-35769_1_greg-louganis

I remember it was a big deal at the time. And I thought we had moved forward from then.

[sinkingfeeling]

32. Disgusting, just like is Faux News.

[Red Mountain]

33. LOL

As if skin tone means a person can't compete in the winter games. Or that our athletes are chosen for something other than their prowess in their chosen sports.

Dude must hate summer Olympic track and field. Hurts his feelings somehow. Resents the intrusion of the swarthy folk on his lily white winter events.

No amount of mockery makes this better. This person needs to be unemployed.

[rusty fender]

37. Diversity is the beauty

and the promise of the U.S.

[Takket]

38. um, he knows you have to QUALIFY for the olympics, right?

They don't just hand out slots on the olympic teams to minorities to meet a "quota", which is basically the dog whistle he's trying to use here. You actually have to perform and defeat fellow americas to qualify for the olympic team.

[yardwork]

42. What the hell?

[bullwinkle428]

43. You KNOW if this asshole was around 70 years ago, he would be crying about

the integration of the military and major league baseball.

"WE'RE GOING TO DILUTE THESE FINE BODIES WITH CLEARLY INFERIOR SPECIMENS!!1!", or something like that.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

44. racist old fart

Judging by his photo, he should be old enough to remember when all his fellow racists were complaining about all those coloreds about to take over sports. I can sure remember the angry old white men talking about how, if you let one in, they'd just crowd out all the white boys in basketball, football, etc. "They" are not quite human, donchaknow.

Angry old racists will spew their hatred from any cover they can find. They create angry young racists.

[DinahMoeHum]

45. UPDATE: Fox News has pulled the column. . .

"Stupid is as stupid does." Someone tell Fox News to pull up video of the short track trials where Maame Biney beat everyone not once, but twice. Then try to tell us it's about a quota.
