ace, it's not very often that you and I find ourselves completely agreeing; this is one of those times. As I posted way up at the top of this thread, the racial stuff is secondary to me. I would have been just as irritated without that. The real problem here is that he's mocking unpaid althetes that just made an incredible run to the pinacle of their sport only to fall a little short. Would he make fun of Olympians in the less-televised sports that don't collect year-round paychecks? Seriously, the amount of effort that these women made to accomplish what they did deserves praise, not mockery.
