Olympian mocked for dreadlocks, media labels locks "unsuitable"

Found this when I logged into yahoo to check my mail
You can read about it here : http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/va...-Japanese-snowboarder-busted-f?urn=oly,219311

 

It wasn't about his dreads, it was because of how he was dressed.

 

thats fucked up of him.... hes being payed to represent his country. pretty damn selfish.

 

He has nice locks.

 

dreadlocks win, reading comprehension fail....

 

Riiight

 

Its stupid he got banned. Or whatever. People should have better things to do than to bash people's "fashion sense". Jesus Farking christ. They should loosen up themselves.

 

This.

It's about the way he dressed while representing his country. With which I agree with the article.

There's no reference at all to his dreads in the story. If it was anything to do with his hair, he wouldn't have even got this far. Like the article says, snowboarders are anti authority but when it comes to representing your country you can at least dress respectably.

Non story, not worth making a thread out of.

 

tl;dr

don't care what you think

 

If you think that's too long to read. Damn boy, you got issues.

 

Why should people dress like uptight robots to represent their country?

 

this is a good picture to show people asian hair dreads nicely, at least
i know people have questions about that sometimes

his hair looks sweet

 

"Uptight robots" describes Japanese culture pretty well, that might be a reason.

 

Uhh, for the same reason that I tuck my shirt in at work... and it has nothing to do with dreadlocks.

 

That's not culture that's mutation.
They're still more spiritual than American culture who dresses casually.

 

What a fuckin' idiot. It's the fuckin' olympics not some faggot ass snow hill in chingchongchinatown.

 

Worthless

Why bother posting something if you have no interest in reading people's responses? If you only want to hear agreement in short sentences just go talk to yourself about it.

 

If I was in the Olympics I would feel really proud and would want to look as nice as possible.

 

I thought the olympics were about sports and shit...didn't know it was a fashion show too.

Think about if he won. What would people think!!!???

You can be good at shit and look different too!!!!

What's next? Some crazy ass is gonna be sucessfull and rich and dress the way he is comfortable. Bollocks!

I'm gonna stick with the people in charge and say you gotta be apart of the fashion show if you wanna compete. I mean, it's been a great system so far. According to.....

 

nah dawg, i felt straight up disrespected by that girl

she be hatin' on me in anything that i post

nahmean?
