"Racist" Tweet gets Female Greek Athlete Kicked Out of Olympics

[AndreaGail]

Voula Papachristou has been expelled from the Greek Olympic Team for a racist twitter comment, according to the Associated Press.

The website Keep Talking Greece translated the offensive tweet by Papachristou (@papaxristoutj):

“With so many Africans in Greece… At least the West Nile mosquitoes will eat home made food!!!”


Shes a supporter of the Golden Dawn party too..

Too bad she got expelled. All those years of training lost for a joke.

Bad taste, but funny and accurate.

Pretty stupid as well. She should have known better. We live in a PC world. She should have made jokes about white men. That would have scored her lots of points.

"I would like to express my heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate and tasteless joke I published on my personal Twitter account.

I am very sorry and ashamed for the negative responses I triggered, since I never wanted to offend anyone, or to encroach human rights.

My dream is connected to the Olympic Games and I could not possibly participate if I did not respect their values. Therefore, I could never believe in discrimination between human beings and races.

I would like to apologize to all my friends and fellow athletes, who I may have insulted or shamed, the National Team, as well as the people and companies who support my athletic career.

Finally, I would like to apologize to my coach and my family."

[k-os]

Encroach on human rights? Oh please.

It's amazing that you can get kicked off of an Olympic team for a harmless joke. THAT is the joke. I am not even sure how it is offensive, exactly . . . because it has the word 'African' in it?

Try this: "With so many Floridians being in Georgia this time of year, at least the everglades mosquitoes will eat some home made food." Anyone offended by that? So basically, the word "African" in any joke can get you kicked out of the Olympics. Lord have mercy on all of us.

Now that I analyze it, the joke isn't even funny. Home made food doesn't make sense. Anyway. This is overblown BS. Poor chick.

Sorry K-os, my human rights were definitely encroached upon through her use of that joke. I feel violated, to the very core of my humanity.

Human rights? You mean like the Right to freedom of Speech?

You mean the people who already know you and know your a racist?

[VX1]

What, now mosquitoes are a protected group?!?

[Skirnir_]

She failed to wage warfare by deception and thus has paid dearly.

[steyr_m]

There goes the idea of freedom of thought. I wonder who was pushing it after it came out.....

There will be a day when this non-sense will go to the way side. Too bad her athletic career is gone. As GoD said, it is about mind control. Many people are tired of it and the tide is rising....

That's and easy one. The IMF and the EMU told them to kick her off the team. They are all technocrats and statists and if it wasn't for the shenanigans that they back, Greece wouldn't field and olympic team this year.

Oh, I know who gave her the push. I was being rhetorical. The tide is rising and there will be changes within the next ten years....

[zap]

Apparently, Greece doesn't have freedom of speech? And If you are a Olympic athlete, I guess you should keep your opinions to yourself or at least don't type them in cyberspace, until the games are over.

Freakin politically correct crap !

[vacuum]

This is how a one-world government would look. A stupid tweet like this, and boom...you're now the enemy of the world. You're banned...from everything, forever. No recourse, no where you can escape from it.

[BrewTech]

Apparently, Greece doesn't have freedom of speech? Not if your country is financed by the reptilian overlords. They don't like that kind of uppity talk, apparently.

Again with the Covert Hostility....It's time you work on raising your tone, you will feel much better.

I am hoping sooner than ten years..

Please delete your racist post, which includes multiple uses of the word "African".

Come to think of it, isn't the ban itself racist, because it implies that Africans are of one race?

[Sparky]

Thank goodness we will not have be exposed to the repulsive image of this vile creature.

Dam shame.......... we are truly effed

She can conjugate my verb any day, so long as it is 'σύνειμι'.

Bureaucrats, technocrats,... fucking bunch of judgemental fascist pigs. They make me sick. Their authority apparently knows no bounds.

They're destroying this young woman's life for a minor indiscretion. A stupid joke.

Who the fuck are these cunts in suits who can destroy lives like that with the flick of a finger?...

Fucking demons.

Whoever they are...they have no souls. It was a harmless joke.

It just amazes me that people these days have such thin skin, to kick her off the team is just cruel. It's destroying a dream.

What a sad story, yet infuriating, too.

Yep. The act of kicking her off the team was the only OFFENSIVE act in this story, not her little joke.

It's not unlike how when police pull someone over (for driving 10 miles over the "speed limit") and extort money from them on behalf of the State, they are the only one committing a true OFFENSIVE (criminal) act, and not the "speeder".

LOL, had to bring that up, eh? :)

The crap I'm getting on this forum, is the same kind of crap I got on the beat. You feel as though you stand alone. Folks just see a blue uniform, and I believe folks here just see a blue uniform on the other end of this keyboard.

lol. I can see how you might view my cop reference as a personal jab at you, but it wasn't intended as such, and I stand by my original point and comparison.

I like you. I don't even care if you're wearing a uniform, although I doubt you are wearing one.

You still seem to have that cop mentality though, as is evidenced by the fact that you get offended by GSUSers' well-earned distrust of cops.

I like you too Gonzo. Well, I'm not wearing a uniform...right now, no shoes, old jeans and a t-shirt. Been scrubbing the decks on a beautiful sunny day.

I'm just a regular guy who tends to take things too personally sometimes, that I agree with. Which is why threads like this one bother me. I just can't believe we live in a world that would ruin a gal's life, her dream, over something so stupid. Bothers me.

The ban does have a high degree of mental deficiency.....correct..............

I wouldnt worry too much about it as you saw the human side of police as you worked there and knew your work mates.This is understandable to me .

Looking at the big picture is different however as the world is getting more brutal and I blame the PTB more than anything and its the police that are used to enforce this.

A hop, step and a tweet................

Trying to look at the big picture is difficult for me, regarding police work. I tend to apply personal experiences to shape my thoughts, and when the big picture conflicts with that, I refer back to personal experiences. I belief this is why my beliefs are so different than many on the forum.

Thought provoking post, Serpo. Thank you.

Well said, Serpo. I concur completely.

[Tumbleweed]

I didn't see this thread until today and I'm here because of a link Magnes posted. Just learned about this woman who got kicked off the olympic team.

I like her sense of humor and I wish she hadn't apologized.
