Reporter: "What is your purpose at this event?"
Flav: "Run around and be LOUD"
I love that but I forget where I saw it. lol
This is America. You need corporate sponsors, rich benefactors, or wealthy parents to get to the Olympics. Athletic talent is essential, but not sufficient.
- That why Snoop was hanging around the skateboard street comp with his shitty little electric hand fan? (We have the same one.)
  
  Maybe? But I kinda feel like at this point Snoop just wanders around doing whatever the fuck Snoop feels like doing
  
  Snoop is basically the human interest story reporter for NBC this year. He was in the stands watching the women’s gymnastics qualifiers with one of the team member’s family on Sunday.
- Olympic teams need corporate sponsors, rich benefactors, or wealthy patents regardless of where they are from. That's part of the reason why athlete from poorer countries rarely do well.
- Unless the “sport” is mainly about big guys in full body padding crashing into another. That’s the only time the sport is not gay and really American.
Flavor Flav seems to be a thoroughly wholesome dude
- he has got multiple assault and sa charges against him
  
  Well, shit. That’s deeply disappointing.
  
  I didn't know that. Now I feel like I shouldn't have posted this to give him any publicity.
As the wise american once said: they don't send their best.
