While not particularly funny, her twitter remark was not technically racist IMO. Nothing in the comment suggested she thought Africans or blacks are somehow inferior. Don't see an insult either. People today rush too quickly to judgement, they're so damned scared of being branded a racist. It's made all the worse by people who play the "race card" incessantly and without real cause.<div>
</div><div>Sad. Now this young lady, who no doubt trained her *** off for years to get to the Olympics, is having her dream taken away by politicians with no backbone.

and apparently she was warned before.

I believe she's part of the Golden Dawn party, which has used Nazi symbols and figures from the past. They're considered a neo-nazi group.

But yeah, totally PC run amok.

wow... You feel bad for the girl who ran off at the mouth (with an incredibly racist remark, no PC definitions needed here) and got banned??? And like, OP4 said, this was far from the first time for this girl (if you actually read the entire article).

I am not aware of previous comments, but my comment was quite clearly pertaining to the one's quoted in the article. Now try to rub a couple of brain cells together (if you can find them) and explain to the board exactly what was racist about the comments?
