I like it when elite athletes demonstrate that they are still aware that the only reason they exist is to act as dancing monkeys for the general populace. And that means throwing poop.

I've been called worse. Besides, I was thinking of Shawn Johnson when I said it. She's a little pygmy dancing monkey.

Dance monkey dance! Shake your booty! Shake it!





Is statutory lechery an improvement?

Nearly two thirds of Out gay athletes medaled

In other words, go gay and win a medal!

It may be a natural tendency towards pessimism on my part but the way I'd interpret that is that in athletics you don't come out unless your position at the top of the sport is very secure and can't be easily challenged.

In other words, the strong performance is, perversely, an indicator of discrimination in sports.

And they were all at or near the top of their field before the Olympics (that's how you get to the Olympics).

But were they all out before they arrived at the top of their sport?

I want to believe that someone doesn't have to worry about whether their sexual orientation will affect them; I just understand the reality of some people in our society
