(Olympics) So they kicked @papaxristoutj (Voula Papachristou) outta the Olympics for her tweet eh? @ Greece

I'm surprised they sent her home honestly...I'm not surprised she said it though. What I am even more surprised about is how it was found out. She has 3k followers. Probably all of them are fans/lust after her. Can't imagine one of them 'translating and telling' so that begs the question. Who is 'watching' her account? Are they watching ALL OF THE OLYMPIANS ACCOUNTS?

Here is what she said (the tweet has been removed and there is an apology up now) She tweeted it in Greek btw....

"With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!"

The joke was in reference to a recent outbreak of the disease in a small African village...

Apparently, some folks don't see the 'issue' with this... (From a forum that my post was linked in..)

Apparently, folks don't see the issue with what she said. Odds that they are white and conservative? Probably have some sheets hidden in their closets with holes in 'em? LOL I mean, if you don't see 'anything' wrong with what she said, good for you. Don't know what fucking rock you live under but okay... Keep living in your World where you are 'safe' from such underlying bullshit. *shrugs** Probably the same folks that want 'the Lebrons and Dwight Howards' of the World to be happy that someone is paying them and to stay where they are drafted...'cause they are black..I mean paid well.....

This is the part where you probably expect me to 'light into her' huh? Nope. She got sent HOME. I don't have to. Four years of training and she won't get to compete. At least it looks that way for now. I think she got punished enough without me railing on about it. If she didn't know it was wrong before, she knows it now. You can feel free to raise your blood pressure up about it but I'm cool over here on that. She is probably sitting somewhere right now looking like this here..

So there is no real need for me to get to snapping...

Here is her apology on Facebook..

I would like to express my heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate and tasteless joke I published on my personal Twitter account. I am very sorry and ashamed for the negative responses I triggered, since I never wanted to offend anyone, or to encroach human rights.

My dream is connected to the Olympic Games and I could not possibly participate if I did not respect their values. Therefore, I could never believe in discrimination between human beings and races.

I would like to apologize to all my friends and fellow athletes, who I may have insulted or shamed, the National Team, as well as the people and companies who support my athletic career. Finally, I would like to apologize to my coach and my family.

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind. Again..the site's official email is thewarehouseblogspot@gmail.com if you would like to be interviewed. Hit me up.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
