Dear Amigos and Sports Fans in cyberspace,
I am writing you this letter to apologize for my lack of reporting on the Sochi Winter Olympics this year, but unfortunately The Red Man regrets he is unable to provide his usual succinct coverage of a major sporting event due to Olympic Denial at Casa de Canterbury.
If you will recall, we gave a feature story each day of the last Summer Olympics in London in 2012 and these were read by many Sports Fans in search of The Red Man’s unique perspectives. Thank you very much for remembering.
Alas, the old woman Slow is apparently controlling the TV remote and rarely clicks NBC and Bob Costas and Chris Collingsworth and Al Michaels – all of whom she admires but she did ask Pretty why a football player is in Russia to talk about the Olympics and why Bob Costas caught the pink eye over there and wears those creepy glasses. Pretty didn’t have an answer.
It seems the Russians have pissed off the lesbians at my casa. They are horrified by the extermination of The Red Man’s relatives by the thousands to make way for the Olympic visitors in Sochi and then they were further outraged by the anti-gay policies recently made up by a man named Pooting. No good comes from a name like that.
Hence, no clicks on our remote for coverage unless Pretty finds a story about an athlete who’s sacrificed for years to compete. We are adrift in No Man’s TV Land.
The Red Man wishes to salute all the athletes from around the world who have spent years in preparation for these events and sends them Paw Snaps and Twirls from the bottom of his heart. He hopes they stay safe and warm and find clean water to drink.
Get me outta here Percy,
The Red Man
P.S. Slow and Pretty are so brain-dead that they forgot to turn on the Westminster Kennel Club last night so we will have to make sure we record the Best in Show tonight to be able to do a special report on that Very Important Event at least… stay tuned.
We are watching the WKCDOGSHOW tonight too!!!!

They should have been boycotted. Just sayin’.

I remember when we boycotted them in 1980…it’s a tough call. These athletes train for so long – years even – so I hate to reject their efforts. But Russia was an incredibly difficult place. I never had a good feeling about this time and it only worsened as the other news hit. I appreciate your comment regardless. Thanks, Luanne.

It would have been excruciating for the athletes, but the decision should have been made for them. The whole thing is horrible. My daughter’s friend performed in Russia in a dance group last year, and he had stories he told us of how bad it had gotten. He was glad to come home.

That is so sad. Don’t you know all these athletes will be glad to come home?

The things that have gone wrong there are keeping us amused. They seem to be making the headlines more than the sport which is a shame for the athletes but oh so fitting for Pooting 😉

That Pooting fellow is good and rotten. One of the things that most saddens us is that thousands of people were displaced from their homes so those houses could be demolished for Olympic venues. The dogs ended up as strays because there was nowhere for them to go. This displacement is something the Olympic Committee should be held responsible for. As for Pooting, I don’t think a boycott or petitions or anything will make an impression on that man’s stone, cold heart.

Yes, we are thinking Pooting is hopeless as is the Mayor of Sochi who announced that there are no gay people living in his city. Wow – amazing – the only place on the planet without a single gay person living there…can anyone throw the Bullshit Flag on both of those guys??!! And leave it on them…:) Clueless. Hopeless. Friendless.

Let’s just hope they didn’t deport the gay people or poison them. Seems like these two and their lackeys have no love for kindness, compassion, or acceptance. I do think there is a gay bar open in town. May the brothers and sisters enjoy a vodka and a laugh at Pooting’s expense.

Seriously. Let’s hope for that!
P.S. And don’t even get the old woman Slow started on the NFL right here in the USA. 😦
