She’s only 21 isn’t she? Provided no major injuries happen, she’s going to have a career for years. I would love to see her succeed but not because of “special circumstances”.
Lol why is ontd so dumb about this? Just bc it is illegal in some US state doesn't mean it is in the rest of the world. You are competing against the world not American teams like the NFL.
this is why black people will forever remain exactly where they're at
you had your moment in the sun last year by taking advantage of heightened woke culture and our collective hate for the president, but the sympathy is running dry. your hypocrisies are less and less tolerable
toxic_illusion July 2 2021, 16:38:27 UTC COLLAPSE lmfao weed doesn’t relieve pain better than something like Celebrex or Ketolorac but those are just fine. Wonder why.
Also the idea that marijuana can mask PEDS sounds like a Olympics thing and not a personal problem. With times changing and the acceptance of marijuana use, the onus isn’t on society, it’s on the OIC to catch up with the times.
Lastly, marijuana smoking isn’t legal in many countries, including Japan, but she smoked in a state that allows it. If I arrived intoxicated in a dry country, should I get in trouble? I didn’t drink there.
can someone explain to me why the anti-weed rules are rooted in anti-blackness? I understand that its racist in the legal system because of how blacks are charged and prosecuted more than whites, but that the IOC is more lenient on her than michael phelps?
Is this just a case of americans assuming everything is like their legal system?
lulufairybubble July 2 2021, 16:53:12 UTC COLLAPSE She smoked after finding out her mother had died from a reporter. Anybody hanging on to the 'rules are rules' stance is an asshole.
wormsinthedirt July 2 2021, 17:07:24 UTC COLLAPSE I can't with the "rules are rules" people. First of all, she was under acute stress. Second, the rule is fucking bullshit. Would we say "rules are rules" if someone got banned for, e.g., having sex? Not pledging allegiance to the flag? Wearing or refusing to wear makeup? Some rules are bullshit and this one has roots in anti-blackness, and to a lesser extent, anti-socialism (it was used to discredit and imprison activists). I'm with her 100%.
