Skatelandmobile every time you mention Shani's name you endear him to the public so despite your attempt to slander Shani you are actually making people who read your stupid comments support him. Thanks so much. Now go and pick the gum off of your benches and floor.
Facts aren't considered slander.. Shani did this to himself.. I'm just bringing to light his true character. He doesn't care about the Dutch or Netherlands either, just himself. I would not be suprised when he competes for the Dutch and doesn't metal..
@ skatelandmobile you call Shani self-centered? i hear a lot of we in this video, we making history, we have won 6 medals. I think you are jealous, Shani one of the best skater, the first black skater, he is a inspiration for a lot of people in the us and Europe.
And you what did you do for the us? nothing. You are just a fool with a make believe skate ring
It's the truth, the his "teammates' are afraid from a little competition in the team, When Shani stopped the longer distance, they knew someone is losing his place in the team for the mid distance.
And why did they didn't they trow Shani of the team if he is "Un-American"?
maybe because he is one of the best and keep one winning
Calling Shani a Muslim Terrorist isn't a racist comment. His name, Shani, is Swahili and Swahilians are predominantly Sunni Muslims. Remember, when Shani violated his US Speedskating agreement? Probably not.. Well, he refused to wear American sponsor logos. He opted to wear the Dutch bank logo instead. Btw, the Dutch bank is bancrupt now.. That's what they get for supporting unethical people like Shani.
Calling him a Muslim terrorist is a very Racist comment! no matter what black people do in this and for this country always things like you that try to tear them down. glad shani has the cojones to ignore folls like you!
You totally missed the point. Shani sold his soul to Satan, so he could win for himself, not the US.. Doesn't matter that he's black. He is proud to announce he sold his soul. That is a sad man..
You have a black heart my dear and you act just like the devil, lieing and trying to discredit people. There is a special place in hell for "things" like you!!!
Lake of fire is too good for the likes of you. Thats why you have a special place. You are a crazy stalker and obsessed with Shani Davis. Shani has 4 olympic medals and you cant stand it LOL!!!!
Maybe you should try to qualify for the special Olympics, a retard racist like you must have chance to win a medal, that will make you a true American and you don't even have to sell you're soul
You need to stop t;rying to send people to hell you idiot, who are you to judge some one. You must think you are God almighty, LOL!!! You are the funniest person on youtube congrats!!!! God Team Shani Davis, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
@skatelandmobile you should shut up about shani davis because you don't know a thing about speed skating! you say he canceled the 500m and that he did not let anyone know so that no one could replace him? that doesn't make sence because he did race in the first 500m and then he stopped so no one could have replaced him because you need to race both off them and for him this was just a warm up for the 1000m and the usa team knew that! so your full of shit man!
@skatelandmobile oh i'm not done yet! you saying that he sold his soul! you take that to litterally! he just used it as an expression on how dedicaded you need to be as an speedskater! oh and about the solo entity thing! he has to be a solo entity because othetwise he wouldn't win its just that he feels better training on his own than with chad hedrick who he is always fighting with! and about the sponsors dutch sponsors just pay more because speed skating is popular in the holland and so is he!
@skatelandmobile in case you didn't notice i am dutch and a fan of shani davis and i realy think you should be proud of shani because he had to fight to even be a speedskater! he didn't have any money to get proper equipment that the speedskaters here in holland did have because we have youth programs for speedskating. and he had to do it all on his own with his mom by his side and nobody else! you should really admire him for he is one of the greatest athlethes ever!!!
He's not doing anything for our countr, but for himsel. Remember, he is Team Davis. A "solo entity".
Now, you are trying to divert focus off of him. We don't want athletes like him. We want athletes like Shaun White, and Shannon Miller who support the US and their team mates.
You are obsessed with Shani Davis. Please go crawl back under your rock or sheet, which ever you prefer and come out in 2014 when Shani competes in the next olympics you pathetic, bored, lonely loser.
All the stupid 'unpatriotic' propoganda is getting really old and every one is on to it by now. Shani is a great American and a proud olympian. Why not take up a hobby, how about speedskating to occupy your time, instead of blogging about Shani all damn day!!
I think being patriotic and his wish to live in Holland are 2 different things.
I don't think his plan was to change his passport to a Dutch one.
He cosidered living in the Netherlands for speedskating. It has a nice Speedskating climate Think about sponsers, media attention, training facilities. We got it all
Speedskating is huge in Holland.
And further, this guy is a legend. To be admired by the Dutch and to be proud of by Americans.
I agree with you quetou, and central....i saw the posts on Yahoo. Davis wins his 2nd gold, and can't get an interview on the NBC Today show the following morning. And all that shit about his hand over his heart.. OMgoodness.....when did that become the ultimate signature for patriotism? I bet most of those that put their hand over their heart don't even know the damn words of the National Anthem of the USA.
Since the 1940s, the US Code (Titles 4 and 36) specifies four circumstances for rendering the hand-over-heart salute. The national anthem is one of the four circumstances.
I know Michael Phelps put his hand over his heart. What gives exempts Shani Davis from having to put his hand over his heart during the national anthem?
Much respect for this great speedskater, Americans prove there ridiculousness by not supporting one of the few good things that come from their country.
First, I'm am happy for this American. Two, I don't think the flag thing was intentional. He did do victory laps with the flag. However, if he did disrespect the flag on purpose for some selfish reason. Then that is a big time dick move. Let's just wait and see what he does if he wins again. I for one hopes he does put his hand
over his heart. It's such a very simple gesture that would take away any arguments and shut everybody up and just let him and the country enjoy his victory.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Shani Davis is VERY unamerican! Search for Shani Davis Interview, and watch his interview with the Dutch. He tells the Dutch that he wants to live there and were orange!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Shani Davis' own words, "I'm a solo entity."
I wouldn't allow this selfish entity compete in the Olympics. Shani Davis is unpatriotic and not a team player! Additionally, he quit the 500m without giving the team notice, so another skater could substitute for him! He just doesn't care about anything, but himself! If you can't see that, then you are blind and walking backwards!
How can you support someone who doesn't care about anyone, but himself?
This is why I think a lot of white people are of the devil. This AMERICAN, pictured holding up the American flag is called unpatritic for doing what no man has ever done..win two back to back GOLD medals in the 1000. This historic feat makes him unAmerican because he did what Bush Sr did? He did raise the flag over his head instead of putting his hand on his heart. Meanwhile Vonn crashed, didnt put her hand over her heart when she won, but white people poop on themselves over her. Hypocrites
lol so true. All the athletes haven't even been putting their hands over their hearts. I don't get what the big friggin deal is. People are still bent out of shape about him not doing the relay at the last olympics I think. He can do whatever he wants, people should get over it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not to take away from his medals but most athletes show respect for the American Flag and their country by placing their hand over their hearts and watching the flag be raised. Shani Davis did neither? Patriotism...I don't think so.
@central79 - What pissed me off was the next day, this man that has done what no man has done before...couldnt even make the headlines. The day after, all ESPN and CNN could talk about was Vonn's CRASH! She fell and made headlines. Davis won a freakin' GOLD MEDAL and couldnt get on the front page!
You aren't abti American if you don't put your hand over your heart. I can tell that they are cultural differences. Like I said there were issues in the 70's with the fist being raised. He was very respectful of his country! Who is to say what is or isn't an American. That's why we are the most diverse country in the world. And why did you have to bring up Michael Jackson. There are many other well known Black Americans that aren't related to music like Tavis Smiley, Dr. Martin Luther King!.
I guess you didn't get it so let me say it plainly what I meant with my last post.
I was replying to the idiot who questions Shani's patriotism. I replied saying Shani is Mr. Patriotism and that his whole presence there is for America. He won the gold for America.
@central79 - Like all the preisents that were pictured without theior hand over their heart? Bush Sr. Ford, LBJ? Is it cultural for white presidents to not put their hands over their heart?
@BRDDMom - This is so stupid. "most" Americans? I have pictures of Presidents no named Barack that do not have their hands over their heart. So Buh Sr, Geral Ford, LBJ - are not patriotic huh? They were presidents but didnt love their flag? They didnt bow down to our God Flag? Give me a break! Congrats Davis for doing what no man has ever done..EVER!
I see the name on the card next to Shanti,Nathanial Mills?I thought he had retired?He didn't have many wins on the US team thru the years.
