Papachristou is a public supporter of Greece's Golden Dawn party. A self-described "White Nationalist" political party. They are about as far right as they can be, without actually being real live Nazis.

But they didn't kick her out for being affiliated with the party.

They kicked her out for tweeting a joke that could be aired on Leno or Letterman without pissing off Johnny Cochran.

Correction, they kicked her out for that tweet in COMBINATION with her tweets supporting the right-wing party. Put 2 and 2 together, and it's an image her team didn't want to be associated with.

Bingo.

Greece has enough PR problems right now, without having a fucking Hitler lover on the high jump team.

More than 7% of the population are Hitler lovers.

Also, Greece should consider showing up to one of Ed's kid's birthday parties.

It's great PR.

Maybe they should try out for the Special Olympics instead.

Given how things went for them back in the '30s, it wouldn't be anything new for the Olympic Committee.

I read the joke and don't think it's racist. Don't care what groups she is affiliated with, the joke wasn't racist. So you can't joke about Africans without it being racist? There goes my millions of starving Ethiopians jokes...

Rangerscott · 07-26-2012, 12:52 PM

Wait just a second. Only people of the US mothafuckin A are be racist.

Dude, the bitch is a Nazi.

Stupid fucking Nazi to boot. She's about to leave for the Olympics, (the international group-hug reach around) and that's the tweet she sends out?

Not too fucking bright.
