There's at least one picture there that I thought to myself, "Man, I wouldn't mind that at all."  I thought it was sexist. It was all males. It should've had some women too. This NSFW Collection of Olympic tattoos NSFW was at least a good mix of both. |

I would hate to work someplace where that was considered NSFW.

Photo 1 was questionable enough for me to add a warning, and there are a couple out of the 50+ images that do indeed qualify.

With how draconian the IOC is about their rings symbol I'm surprised they didn't sue all those athletes.

You call it an accident. I call it justice.

Pretty sure some of those ring tattoos are temporary/spray on. Others might not be though... Like this one... pretty apparent from the overspray.  |

So how badly are we really beating China in gold count? I love how every member of a relay/gymnastics/diving team gets a gold medal but you get one for winning water polo, soccer, basketball, volleyball etc. What the fuck?

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

We have 39 Gold and 90 Overall. China has 37 Gold and 81 overall. It's actually quite easy to get the results. Google just displays it above search results. |

 He means how many actual medals have been give to participants. E.g. there are 18 members of the US women's soccer team that just got gold medals. That only counts as one medal in those medal charts. |

A facepalm, really? There wasn't any reason to not think they meant the normal medal count. I wasn't trying to be dickish by the google thing, btw. I think it's neat that they have that feature. |

What is it with the nonsense about Lolo Jones and Gabby Douglas's hair? Women are catty racist bitches. Judging by the amount of time our local sports talk spent 'analyzing' the drama it isn't just women. |

I figured it was "blah blah black woman hair," because of course it was, I just wasn't sure which direction they were getting it from. Hooray for "wrong either way" situations! |

So something I don't understand about myself, I find Usain Bolt's bullshit amusing and almost endearing, when I would generally want to punch someone so cocky. I dunno why!

Because he backs it up! Heh. Seriously, I don't know. I crack up at him too. It feels more like pure confidence than showmanship kinda stuff. |

The fact he can back it up probably DOES help, but it's still odd.
Speaking of odd, synchronized swimming is SO FUCKING WEIRD. Like ... the athleticism involved is amazing AND it is like watching a bizarro fever dream. SO WEIRD.

I like Bolt. His antics are awesome. I hope he's not a doper.

I still don't understand what happened even after reading the article. What exactly were they criticizing about her hair? |

The moment a black woman does anything awesomely cool, you can expect both sides to start launching petty grenades. That's what happened.

Heh, even the officials are asking NBC to shut the fuck up. I know they are getting good ratings, but there isn't exactly a ton of good counter-programming out there, it's Summer.
What's sad is that NBC has the games until 2020.

Bolt's antics are actually funny and pretty much self-contained. He's not really a dick about it and like others have said here, it's not just bravado, he backs it up.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Is travelling no longer an offense in Basketball? Made the Olympic event near unwatchable and has spoiled any fun I had watching the NBA.

So the US wins the medal total with 46 to China's 38. Great Britain comes in third with 29; their best in 104 years! That's a really impressive tally considering how small GB is compared to the US and China. I didn't think of the British as a summer sport people.
India only won 6 medals, two silver and four bronze. With a nation that populous, why the low count?
