Hot Greek Women Athlete Cut From Olympics For Racist Tweet
My people are really sucking it up lately. Being of Greek heritage is not as noble as it once was. Where have you been the last couple thousand years guys? Now the country is in shambles and is about to go broke, you would think that the Olympics would be a time filled with pride, since the Greeks invented it. Not so much.
Greek lady Olympian Voula Papachristou screwed that up when tweeting racist comments and was removed from the Olympics by the Hellenic Olympic Committee. Thanks Voula. She was supposed to take part in the Women's Triple Jump amongst other events but had to go ahead and mock African immigrants.
To top it all off that she's "wicked hot". She should have been strutting her stuff and bringing it instead she sucks and is now at home self medicating with boxes of chocolate. Thanks for nothing. You ruined it for all of us.
This is what she had to say about the whole situation via USA Today:
"I have not slept at all and to be honest I am still trying to come to terms with what has happened," she told Reuters. "I am trying to stay calm otherwise I would lose control.
"I am thankful to my coach and family and so many other people who have stuck by me.... After so many years of hurt and sacrifices to try and get to my first Olympics I am very bitter and upset. But what has upset me the most is the excessive reaction and speed of the disciplinary decision.
"I don't know if they want to make an example out of me because of my profile, this is for others to judge, but what I believe is that they used their maximum disciplinary power on me for this," Papachristou said. "They went straight to the final stage in excluding me from the team, which was highly excessive."
Whether you agree with the severity of her punishment or not for what she said, it's Twitter, we can all see you Voula. Don't say things out loud so the world can see it if you don't want to deal with the aftermath. I'm not going to post it here, you can go search for it yourselves.
