I think that sending her home was an over reaction.
It was racist. Greece did not want someone who would even make such a joke representing their country, so not an over reaction.

Explain how it expressed any racial superiority , if you can.

That is not what racism means, try again.

And how is this any worse than what the Greek female track star did
Huh? Was anyone suggesting it was worse? Did you get things the wrong way round here?
Are you seriously looking for heads to roll for this NBC incident goldraptor? Or just looking for an excuse to bring up the story of the Greek athlete again? For me the two incidents are not all that similar. And the Greeks can do what they want with their own athletes.
It's not personal. It's just war.

Well, I think both are a shame, but no big deal. The NBC is purely accidental, as commercials are scheduled way before time and aren't connected to the show. The second is unfortunate and maybe just the ignorance of youth, and I think sending her home was an overreaction. Just think how hard she worked to get there! A severe reprimand would have done the trick. That kind of overreaction makes me sad; surely there's a middle ground!

What I wonder is... why does rappy think that a pic of a female athlete sticking her twat in the air is welcome by half of the posters here? I believe he only thinks of women as sex objects, just like he thinks of EVERYONE as simple objects of financial self-gratification. I guess the female response to his approach IRL is pretty dismal, which is why he seems to be stuck with beating off on fantasy girlfriends.
May not be a "major" oops by NBC, but certainly is a fail by rappy (again!)

It was an overreaction, and one of the annoying things about it (and other such PC incidents) is that it gives a kind of moral high ground/victim status to reactionaries far and wide.
