Flagpole doesn't care about Hocker's religion. Fine. Hocker doesn't care about Flagpole's opinion. The world doesn't revolve around either. Deal with each other. Coexist.
Um...me not caring about his religion IS coexisting. It WOULDN'T be if I cared about his religion (because I am a non-believer). I already said, believe what you want...THAT is coexisting.
Religion is silly, but as long as someone uses their religion for good or at least for neutral purposes, fine by me...believe what you want.
I'm interested in him as a track athlete, and could not care less about his views really on anything outside the sport.
Flagpole, you do love the opinions of ANY athlete or celebrity that align with you however. You are a confused old man full of contradictions.
INCORRECT! People who are famous for things other than political analysis need to not comment on political things. I don't want to hear liberal or conservative stuff come from actors or companies. They need to shut it.

Clearly you don't understand the nature of "Sport" or "Athletics", most likely because you're not an "athlete" or a true "sportsman". That's not meant to be an insult, just a brief observation. The Olympics represent more than competition, and the athletes represent more than just being athletic. Olympians are the best athletes in the world, and each has a life story which defines who they are and WHY they've become the best athletes in the world. I personally am a huge track and field fan and have participated in track and field and enjoy hearing these life stories and about the journey these athletes have taken to achieve this amazing accomplishment to be one of the best athletes on the planet. I recommend you watch 16 Days of Glory-1985 by Bud Greenspan. Maybe it will give you some perspective that being an athlete or sportsman is not just about winning and losing, but also the journey and process.
