Should Ryan Bailey apoligize for decapitation sign aimed at Usain Bolt?

In Mexico City, in 1968, we were debating if it was fair that two guys were wronged when they were stripped of their medals for making modest gestures in favor of civil rights. 47 years later we are debating whether an ignorant punk has the right to behave like a jackass. I call em like I seem em.

I'm particularly offended and pissed that Maggie Vessey jumped in the air and looked like a faerie, and didn't even have a freaking -wand- in her hand.

Totally inappropriate.

It saves everything you need to know about the decline of this place that within a few pages it becomes a semantics war and pssing contest about "tea bagging."

Bon appetite, all.

Who cares where Bailey got it, anyone with a brain knows it wasn't a political or cultural statement. The fact that this thread exists shows just how insufferable some people are.

Insert predictable "No you are! You are dumb! I choose to be offended by this!" insufferable comments below.

Bring da cash money who cares if he's being a punk.

I found the whole think quite depressing and Bailey's beheading jibe was just puerile. I hope the Jamaicans or anyone else whoops them in Beijing.

utterly clueless

gatlin's 1st ban was a travesty

he took perfectly legit ADHD tabs while in college : all legit from iaaf & wada & ncaa rules as long as you stop them coupla days before the meet

you are obviously clueless about ADHD

he forgot to stop them before a college meet as per regulations as he had important exams that week & ncaa had no choice but to suspend him

iaaf, in their pathetic non-infinite wisdom weighed in & called it a "1st strike" offence

utter nonsense

gatlin as penniless college boy, had no $ to take it to CAS & get the 1st strike removed as he knew he was not a doper nor going to actively ever dope

big mistake

2nd offence was sabotage with a malevolent masseuse rubbing in testo gel

anyone with a clue about how to dope woud realise that doping with p!ss-weak testo gel is the most ridiculous possible way to attempt doping !!!

you need to be rubbing in a bucket of this crap/day for weeks to get same effect as 1 shot of durabolin !!!

laughable !!!

gatlin was never a doper

those lost 4y cost him progressing to perfectly legit, by '08/'09

9.5+ / 19.1+

a toxoplasmosis +ve has more likelihood of being a doper

I know I will get flak for this, and I don't care. The fact is that I am not astounded to see such a smattering of classless support for a classless athlete from such a classless forum, at large.Way to go, internet America. Way to go. Keep making other nations hate us.It's no wonder that other nations think Boo S A rather than USA, at large.The USA I love and respect is the one veterans (including my own father) fought and died for.They did not fight and die for this trash.

Well put. At least who were stripped of their medals in Mexico City were protesting something honorable. Even those who disagree with their approach would have to respect their motivation (particularly shortly after the assassination of MLK). But this throat-slitting stuff is without taste and is unnecessarily mean spirited. Bolt dances around with his antics but there is no meanness to it.
