I suppose I owe an apology to the readers that were offended when I said the the 2006 Winter Olympic Games Didn’t Care About Black People. It turns out that a few jigs were actually in Italy to play in the games and not just carry the athletes’ bags.
GAYROME IGINLA
GAYROME skates for the Canadian ice hockey team.
SHANIECE DAVIS
SHANIECE won a gold medal for speed skating.
Both athletes developed their love of skating from their admiration of the great French figure skater, SURYA BONALY.
SURYA BONALY had won many European championships but never an Olympic medal. One year SURYA was disqualified at the Olympics because she did a backflip in her long program
How fucked up was that?!? Just because none of the priv athletes can do a backflip shouldn’t make that move illegal. SURYA was undaunted by that decision and she continues to do backflips during her international touring performances.
I’m mad they disqualified homegirl for doing a backflip. I bet if one of those white chicks did one, they would get a standing ovation + a gold medal.
As for Shani aka SHANIECE (lol) I don’t see why people are giving him so much flack. Homeboy was dissed by the U.S. from the start, and now that he is the truth, they want him to do “team” events. Please!! I’m glad he did better than the rest of them.
Never heard of that hockey player dude. What is he, the only black person in the NHL right now?
Believe it or not there is a grip of jigs doing that gay azz NHL thing. That’s why they ain’t letting fools fight no more in hockey. The brothers was knocking them ol’ school hockey fools out.
There were too many jigs skating freely in professional hockey way back in 2000 and that is why MARTY McSORLEY did the unconscionable act of whacking DONALD BRASHEAR in the head with his hockey stick while BRASHEAR’s back was turned to him.
Happy Black History Month!
i’d blaze “upsidedownskate shorty” just like that…
First of all I’m mad that I took years of Ice Skating and never learned how to do any sort of back flip. I too could have been famous.
About your boy Iginla, I did a TV segment about him years back when he was actually the best in the NHL!
My brother, former hockey player made me a fan.
Black folks will succeed at any sport we attempt, we are simply genetically superior!
And they hating on half of the Black Winter olympics population….
I seen a clip of the opening ceremonies…when Ethiopia entered, a black man was carrying their flag followed by 2 white guys. It didn’t look right.
update!! DON’T FORGET about this girl:
vonetta flowers – american bobsleigh contestant.. she is really good, only been doing it for a couple of years!
about SURYA BONALY. these sports are very strict concerning what ok to do and what’s not. new flips and spins and tripple this and that have to be “verified” up front.. i know it’s lame but that’s how it is.. use the classic term “gentlemans sport” on it..
hmmmm
