The lady behaved like an ass and her politics stink. She can deal with the fallout without being kicked out. Or maybe they were just scared she might win. It's all just so silly
The Greeks kicked her out, presumably because they did not want her representing them. I'm willing to bet they wouldn't want a saudi male represent them either.
Given that the saudi males probably have the same views as their olympic comitee, I don't see it as likely that they will be kicked out for stating their opinion of women.

Re: Am I the only one?......
I know it was the greeks, and they did not have any clear cut tweet rules she violated.
They canned her because they thought her joke was offensive, boo hoo. Maybe they could have canned her earlier, maybe done a backgroudn check on her, instead of getting her all the way there and then doing it. Seems like a monumental waste of time, almost like they were wanting her to screw up so they could make an example of her. After her tweets it took exacly 5 seconds for people to start posting her associations and hostory online. If political beliefs are so important, why did they ever let her compete to begin with?
I would still console her if she needs a shoulder to cry on. The only belief that precludes me from sexing a woman is her belief that it is okay for her to have a front butt

PR, probably. Both commercial and national.

Olympic gold is even better PR though. If she had a reasonable shot at getting the gold and they shot her down over a twitter comment, then they're morons.

She could have dedicated her Gold medal to all the immigrants after she won. Or she could have used it to reinforce her belief that crackers are the chosen ones.
Is Greece another one of those countries where they can put you in jail or close down your business because you say something offensive? I didn't think it was, I am genuinely asking

Business? What business, they're broke, man. That gold medal would have probably been smelted and sent straight to Germany.

I hate the Olympics, always have. But I hate playing sports, let alone watching some self important tool play one.

It is worrying, isnt it?

Re: Am I the only one?......
Why would you want her representing your country?
If I was in charge of the Greek team, I'd kick her of too.
Tasteless, unfunny, and has no place when you are about to be an ambassador for your country.
Why ruin your countries brand like that?

Re: Am I the only one?......
The mayor does not have the power to close down that business or even keep it out Frags. It will take a vote of city council or a referendum vote of the people. The mayor is just postruing and pretending to represent the view of the whole city. If it went to vote, who knows how it would turn out
The mayor reminds me of presidential candidates who talk about how they will repeal this or repeal that, when in fact president dont repeal anything without the congress

Apparently the UK is half black and their history mostly involves pop music.
