User ID: 79436619 United States 10/01/2020 06:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For some reason cycling is the most corrupt sport by far. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24257371 I think maybe it's because the difference between one top cyclist or another isn't all that much actually so the winner is always who cheats the most. If there were no cheating in cycling there would be no stars because at the top level they are all about as good as eachother so there would be no consistent winners. Lance Armstrong was thrown out of the sport he dominated because he was doping. Yes he was, but so were all his competitors. They avoided testing any of the samples from his competitors. In last year's Tour de France, homeboy Julien Alaphilippe was leading most of the way through the race. But he's white European , and they were not supposed to have yet another white European champion. So they stopped a stage in the middle, when he was trailing at the top of a mountain. He was going to regain that time on the descent; everyone knew it. Instead they stopped it in the middle using weather as an excuse (the weather was dangerous, but they knew that before starting the stage) and a climber from Colombia (native South American Indian) was allowed to win. That climber went on to win the TdF last year. The amount of time was impossible to make up. Still, I don't know why you think other sports aren't just as corrupt.

User ID: 79225945 United States 10/01/2020 06:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OMG! Quoting: nutmeg Simmons was suspended following his response to a post from cycling journalist and commentator José Been about the upcoming US election, in which she asked supporters of Donald Trump to stop following her on Twitter. The American responded by writing “bye,” followed by an emoji of a hand with black skin tone waving. The use of a black emoji by a white person online has been repeatedly highlighted as racist, and the term “digital blackface” has been coined to describe its usage. [link to www.cyclingnews.com (secure)] By the way...Simmons is white and the journalist, Jose Been (female) is white! Now they're saying he's racist because the emoji hand waving "Bye" was dark. Google this: emoji waving bye click on "images," and see what appears. If you google, you have your choice of bright yellow hands or brown hands. His color wasn’t represented. He’s Simmons not Simpsons. . "Don't do anything that affects anything. Unless it turns out you were supposed to do it, in which case for the love of God. Don't not do it!" |

Then I got tired of seeing just the French countryside and paid extra to watch the Vuelta a Espana (tour of Spain). This year I've sort of gotten away from TV watching, plus I was sick from how they robbed Julien Alaphilippe last year from winning the TdF, so I didn't watch much of it. .

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78702268 United States 10/01/2020 08:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used black as a sign of my solidarity with BLM, and now they are saying they don't want my support by saying thats racist for a white person to use a black emoji. Its all very confusing. There needs to be an instruction manual for how not to offend those people, I mean others. Others, I meant. Not "those people" that was bad. I think, or was it? wait, maybe it was just a sentence. Is there a racial judge for a ruling? I find it highly racist of Samsung not to have a white emoji hand. So single out a particular race and so they can not use the emoji without being racist is just terrible. I'm calling the ACLU right now. We need a class action against Android for this mental trauma whites have endured because of their emoji skin color exclusion. I just axed, I mean asked, my Mexican friend Juan Pedro, and he said he is not offended if I use a light brown emoji. By doing that I'm in the middle not good (black) or bad (white), just in the middle. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79438895 United States 10/01/2020 09:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | its true. Quoting: 1-2-Follow we must block all white cell phone users from culturally appropriating the black emoji because clearly they only use it to be racist. apple, samsung, etc. must be held accountable and now register your race when buying a phone to lock and ban certain emojis, access to black twitter, etc. If I had to choose a hand after viewing what's available, I would choose the brown also. Who has bright yellow hands besides Big Bird? I use yellow so it can’t be judged as it was the first one and we were all the same. I feel using colored hands could easily be taken racist. Using white hands by a white like myself could be viewed as me pushing white power or some dumb shit re-examine your life. THIS is the kind of shit you worry about??!?! |
