In the World Indoor Championships. It was nice to see Sri Lanka field teams. I really like the 4x100 because running an efficient 400 meters is one of the hardest things to do in sports.
When they were introducing the Men's teams, Hungary's men did the Nazi salute (that's why its on this side).
Here's the women's race first. Alexis Holmes and Rosey Effiong were smokin' down the track.

The mens race. It's hard to believe that they can feel so open to doing that. The world is in trouble with so much evil flowing.

weird that there were no African or Caribbean teams in the women's race and only Jamaica in the men's race. I guess indoor and outdoor are very different animals.

WHY ARE THEY USING METERS AND NOT AMERICAN YARDS?
I.e., why is this on the ranting forum?

International and even most domestic running events have been using meter for some time now because it's a standard and the US is the outlier.
I like being different. I don't roll with crowds and mobs. Even the ones on my side. My center being is a pragmatist.

Bone to pick having actually watched the men's race intro now...

That's an upraised right arm but rather than the hand stretched straight out in line with the arm and palm facing down, the man on the right makes a fist, the other three have their pointer finger outstretched and the rest curled in a #1... I am not sure it's fair to call this a hitlerian salute, although it likely is related/intentional because of how Orban has turned Hungary into his own little authoritarian fiefdom.
It's their way to make you think the way you suggested it is. They're not that dumb, to not give themselves an excuse. One day, we're going to learn to take every breath away from people that perpetuate evil, hatred and intolerance. In a war, which this is, the only good enemy is a dead enemy. That's how they view you. You're too integrative, fair-minded, a paragon of justice. You don't believe in the supremacy of whiteness. They hate you.
