U.S. Women Lose Olympic Softball Gold Medal To Japan
August 21, 2008
But excuse me while I go puke! Sports Illustrated interviewed Sports Illustrated’s Selena Roberts after the devastating loss to Japan. At the end of the interview, this is the nauseating comment she made about the future of softball and baseball as an Olympic event in the future (this was the last year both sports will be played).
Roberts: I think there is great momentum right now to reinstate softball for 2016 due to a couple of important reasons: First, Asian countries have poured a lot of resources into women’s softball. Japan is one example, and those countries have a lot of pull with the IOC.
Second, I think America is doing the right thing in exporting its knowledge of the game by establishing clinics in Europe where there is more resistance toward the game of softball. One other wild card for 2016 is the exit of the Bush administration. The undercurrent of anti-Americanism within the IOC, which some say has hurt the U.S. because of its softball dominance, may abate somewhat with a potential administration led by Barack Obama, a rock star in Europe.
One more thing I guess the Dalibama, Obamessiah, the Anointed One can accomplish. We are blessed.

I think there was just a hint of throw up in my mouth just now. Let’s all go out and vote Obabma because it is good for the olympics and softball. Uhhh, yeah, OKAY! Gag.

Sports Illustrated? Tom, a wonderful research job into arcana. SI must have all of three subscribers by now and you, looking at their web site, musta brought both of their employees to their feet in jubilation and anticipation. Including Selena, no doubt.
The best election - ever - with the gibberish of the MSM being exposed daily and the New New Left’s hopes and opinions out there for all to examine. Thanks Rush, Thanks Tom Remington, Thanks Anne Coulter.
Glad you have the time and patience to ferret out grosly stupid comments like that made by Selena Roberts. It keeps me amused every day of the week. Keep it up.
