Did you just call Alex Morgan, MY Alex Morgan, a groupy?

Consider it an honor to be considered one of Kobe's Groupies.

 

[HoodWinked]

argentina gold tkd consolation prize. after the basketball loss.

thats nuts how a finals match was only 1-0.

 

[mrklaw]

Just ignore him. Without success to back up the hype he'll just fade away into irrelevance.

He had success before the hype.

You know Kobe doesn't waste any time

 

[Awesome]

Alex Morgan is not promiscuous, she is my future wife.

 

[Big-E]

What's the women's hammer throw controversy? Tried a quick google, couldn't find anything.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

It must be so insulting to be thought of as a groupy.

 

[HoodWinked]

You know Kobe doesn't waste any time

lol is his hands in his pants?

 

[Clydefrog]

:lol you guys are funny, acting like Alex Morgan is yours.


she's mine.

 

[Alebrije]

Some more of kobe's groupies came to watch him after the village.

 

[Gorillaz]

Lochte needs to step his game up

 

[HoodWinked]

What's the women's hammer throw controversy? Tried a quick google, couldn't find anything.

judges marked a throw 5m less than where it landed. probably mistaken markers. during event they couldnt change the result so she rethrew and placed only 8th. after competition they award her bronze and the chinese woman after celebrating gets nothing.

its a double bullshit standard because the korean fencer had the same thing happen and never got anything for it.

 

[Big-E]

Lochte needs to step his game up

Lochte needs to put the work in. Kobe works all the angles and doesn't discriminate.

China was awarded the Bronze, Chinese athlete celebrated running around track with flag and all, then they re-instated a disallowed throw by the German athlete which was measured longer than the Chinese athlete's thereby giving her the bronze...I think if I remember correctly

Now that the games are ending, I don't know what to do with myself. I've been enjoying watching it at all hours of the day. Now I have to find other crap to fill in that time, blah.

Start planning your trip to Rio.

If there has been a "DARK" side on this games is the amount of mistakes and controversy generated in some sports.

Ya the double standard is bullshit. Someone will say that each federation is different but the IOC has some say in some of the setups for this stuff such as bitching at MLB for not including pros. This is also the Olympics so this makes the IOC look more horrible than they already are.

Better not punch Melo in the nuts and think you're getting away with it.

I'm cool with a silver medal in womens taekwondo

This.

Kobe works with women of all shapes, sizes, colors, and creeds.

Hmm, let's see. Spain's economy is imploding. That about knocks Madrid out.

Tokyo has hosted already. Give someone else a chance.

Turkey is in the middle of a war ravaged region. Not good for tourism.

Madrid seems out of it, because of the economical situation. Dunno, but hosting a olympics while you have to be bailed out seems wrong. On the other hand I think Madrid has most sportingcomplexes ready, so I wonder how much they need to invest.

Tokyo already hosted it, but that didn't stop London for getting it. Their economy is kinda shaky also and I don't think the Japanese public have much appetite for it.

Istanbul has the best cards when it comes to goverment and public support. The 9% economical growth of the last few years frees up the spending part. Erdogan wants these olympics really bad. Problem is the middle east problems, tho they are pretty far from Istanbul. Syria is like 1000 km away. Don't get the tourism part. Turkey got 32 million tourist last year and it will be somewhat the same this year if not higher.

We will know next year, who knows how the world will look like then.

 

[Canis lupus]

Tokio will be so much expensive for me : ( , I hope they choose Madrid so I can go...

Why not Istanbul? Economy booming and Madrid and Tokyo already organized it.

I have a job thank you very much. I just can't go out and do much seeing as I have a 2 month old right now. It was nice to watch something good at 2 am when I had to feed him.

And golf is boring, They have a ton of channels on my DirecTV just for that right now.

What? Turkey is ranked nr 6 in terms of tourism arrivals. How is it not good for tourism? Yes we are surrounded by countries in crisis, but that doesn't mean we're too. Our economy is booming and a lot of investments are made. Hosting Olympics would boost sports in general in Turkey.

 

[Miles X]

Tokyo is a vastly more interesting place to have the games than Turkey

 

[mrklaw]

Tokyo already hosted it, but that didn't stop London for getting it.

This is the first properly awarded and planned one though. 1908 was deputising for Rome, 1948 was held in a barn for £1.50 after WWII

 

[jett]

aw fuck i missed the ball game. What was the scorE?

I'd be fine with any of those 3 really. All three are great cities with manageable issues and downsides. There is no Qatar WC type situation in that group.

The economic situation with Madrid might be iffy, but 8 years is a long time to get over that.

I just hope a US(or at least north american) city wins the 2024 games. I want to go to some events in person sometime in my life.

 

[Gorillaz]

This.

Main reason why Im so hype about Rio 2016

 

[Fergie]

aw fuck i missed the ball game. What was the scorE?

109-83 USA.

 

[Miles X]

COME ON ANTHONY!!!!

 

[mclem]

This is a good close boxing match.

 

[kottila]

 

[Canis lupus]

Comparing a city to a whole country? Not good. And interesting in what regards?

 

[LTWheels]

Close fight. Hopefully that bloodied nose will put him off his fight.

 

[Soyongdori]

Lutalo was fucking badass in taekwondo. I don't know why the Brits complained when he was going to participate in the taekwondo instead of Aaron Cook.

 

[weekend_warrior]

aw fuck i missed the ball game. What was the scorE?

USA- a lot.
Other team- much less.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Amir Khan needs to piss off.


JOSHUA!!! has got this.

Translation: I'm a weaboo.

 

[Cipherr]

Was a near 30 point blowout. USA took it.

Tokyo would be unlike anything we've seen before, it'd be incredibly unique, I just don't think Instanbul/Turkey can match that.

 

[krYlon]

Now that was a proper boxing match

 

[Good Job Bob]

Tokyo would be unlike anything we've seen before, it'd be incredibly unique, I just don't think Instanbul/Turkey can match that.

Except the world has already seen an Olympics in Tokyo.

 

[Fergie]

Hopefully Joshua did it, I ain't gonna say nothing with how random these boxing judges are.

Edit: ANTHONY JOSHUA YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Holy shit awesome.

 

[Canis lupus]

If we're not gonna ge Euro 2020 we should atleast get Olympics 2020. Istanbul has such an amazing and long history, the whole city is like an open air museum.

 

[Miles X]

1964, hardly going to be the same.

If we're not gonna ge Euro 2020 we should atleast get Olympics 2020. Istanbul has such an amazing and long history, the whole city is like an open air museum.

Ha, you're welcome to Euro 2020

YES, Well done Anthony!!
