Once again I point the finger squarely at religion. It's a tremendous shame and a disgrace.

Anyone that would do what he did isn't religious. Well, Christian anyway.

Matthew 7:12: "And Jesus said to his apostles, "Thou shalt not act like a fucking idiot."

could u seriously not put those words in the mouth of Jesus...that was just as much disrespect as the incident that started this thread.

Originally posted by Lira http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olym...-intruder_x.htm ------------------- Now, this is fucking pathetic. We're not a country of many medals. And those who manage to get one, do it without much financial support. They do it sweating their blood, making sweet from sour, as do the athletes from many other countries that don't have that much money to spend on sports, as we have other serious problems to take care of. Whenever we see someone from our land in the olympics, we cheer as if we were the ones who would get that medal. Doing the impossible, breaking our limits. Even if a Brazilian athlete loses, we cheer for him/her, as we know how tough it was to get there. And they did their best, fair play. Now, some cuntie bastard takes those sacred seconds for any athlete, of being on the lead of the Olympics' most traditional sport, and destroy that dream. I don't care how cheesy these paragraphs are, nor I care if I suck at swearing (lack of practice, I know), but I just had to vent. If the offender is Portuguese, blood of our own blood, this is even sadder. We suffered much in history, we still got debts to pay that belonged to the Portuguese crown... and, even if it's just one individual... why!? Bastardo desgramado filho da puta, eu espero que ele tenha a bunda violentada por uma manada de cavalos com herpes

I honestly agree, wtf is with these insane idiots. Pisses me off. I love the Olympic ideal, and as you said, bastards like this screw it up.

Respect for Lima for continuing even after being shaken though. Also to that guy who helped wrestle that idiot away from Lima (dunno if you guys saw).

btw he's getting some special award for sportsmanship, so good for him.

After all it is not everyday someone stands on a piece of tarmac as cars come towards you at 200mph in traditional Irish dress holding a placard with some religious crap on it. Guy is a complete

I ask myself the same thing.

Such a huge event, they were prepared for everything: terrorist attacks from the sea, car bombs, earthquakes, hurricanes... everything but a lunatic running into the course

I saw that guy who smacked that priest up. The loonie was lucky there were no Brazilians around

As for the special award, this is really a controversial decision. The Olympic Committe (sp?) wanted to grant him the "Coubertain" medal, which was given to a Canadian sailor who, despite of being on the lead, helped another sailor (from Singapore) that was drowning. In this case, he realised that the competition was more important than the medal. He helped another competitor, rather than being selfish.

In this case, he didn't do a "noble act". He was attacked, plain and simple. It had nothing to do with sportsmanship, had it?

If Lima were given this "Coubertain medal", it would completely under rate the Canadian sailor's act, and the medal would lose a bit of its original meaning. If they wanted to give him something, it should be something else. Either a golden medal or a "consolation prize".

Either way, he still won't have the chance of doing athletes dream of: being the first to cross the finish line. And whoever said he wouldn't keep the pace - he got a bronze medal even with that incident. If he were not attacked (and wounded), he would sure get a better result (even silver, if you will).

I believe the reason they are giving him the medal is because at first he said he would have won the gold, but then changed his mind and said he was happy with the medal he won, and that there was no protest needed by the olympic committee of his country, because he earned his bronze.

At least thats what I understood from hearing about it in the background earlier.

I had heard the Committee was protesting

They initially asked for a second gold medal to be awarded to him, but were denied, so they were going to take it to the next level. (sports arbitration committee thingy...dont remember what they called it)
