Gold medal Game: multiple game [R]

Out-coached? lol

 

Here you go: The ranking thread.

 

Shannon Boxx is biracial, like our President:

So is Sydney Leroux:

True but the President generally refers to himself as "black" or "African-American".

 

The Gold Medal Match will be repeated on the NBC Sports Network -
Sunday, August 19 - 7:30 pm ET - 9:30 pm ET.
Tuesday, August 21 - 9:00 pm ET - 11:00 pm ET.

 

Actually, he has famously referred to himself and Republican John Boehner as persons of color.

Orange people need love, too.

 

I ********ing hate orange people. It's not natural. They deserve to rot in Hell, but they'd probably just enjoy the extra crisp.

//yes, my employer knows my feelings towards Orange people and that I have acted out in the past..

 

I love the way Leroux thanks her ex-fiancee:

 

wmaha. brilliant. where did u find this?

 

The last link in Jackie's Dad's post links to this.

 

check out this collage pic on the German women's football Magazin site, don't know who originally made it?

Yes, but he actually have one parent from America (USA) and one from Africa (Kenya)

 

Does anyone else wake up in the morning and have to remember they weren't Leroux's former fiancé?

 

Technically, you are correct. However, in the US, that term is used to describe skin color. Obama calls himself black. And trust me from now until November, he'll be "Black" and treated just like the rest of us black folk .

 

Update - We have two schedule changes - (1) NBCSN is replaying the semifinal match
instead of the gold medal match tonight - same time slot of 7:30 pm ET-9:30 pm ET.
(2) NBCSN has decided to stop showing these "Return To London" replays a few days
early so the gold medal match will not be shown Tuesday - 9:00 pm ET-11:00 pm ET.
(The last showing is track cycling/bmx - Monday morning - 2:00 am ET-3:00 am ET.
Orginial schedule had them going to Wednesday night with the mens and womens gold
medal basketball games being shown back to back - 7:00 pm ET-11:00 pm ET.)

 

Sarcastically funny take on the "disparity" between women's pro soccer and men's pro soccer:

An excerpt from the article:

 

I thought I had clicked on the inside out shorts thread. That made the last post really confusing.

 

Clicking on the inside out shorts thread won't help.

 

I read the article and laughed and laughed!

Then I read the comments and wanted to cry.

There really are people in the world who are physically incapable of getting sarcasm. Their brains are simply wired in a way that they can't process it. And for some reason, these people seem to make up at least 50% of the comments on every sarcastic blog post.
