Interview Shani Davis

[journeyway86]

Why the fuck do they have curling at the Olympics? Lmao it's so damn boring.

[Maxwell2323]

BS. This guy is an arrogant punk and the worst ambassador for the sport. It has nothing to do with accepting the 'norm' you fool - it's about being a decent and professional individual, recognizing he is a gifted and lucky athlete, and think about other's more than himself. I hear all the young kids can't stand him either. What a massive chip he has on his shoulder.

He is a bad example of a sportsman and an American.

Show some class idiot.

[Nanadsyl]

The kids love Shani and Shani loves the kids. Shani Davis makes his haters his motivators that is why he is the best at what he does. So keep on hating on him that is the fuel that drives him!!!!! GO SHANI DAVIS!!!!

[aikibro1]

@Maxwell2323 "gifted and lucky" my ass, dude worked his black ass off in a sport that wasn't at all welcoming to inner city black kids. He overcame obstacles to get where he is today, obstacles that even the US Skating Federation helped erect.

Shani is where he is today without their help... which is why he can tell them, and people like you to kiss his black ass twice.

[Maxwell2323]

@aikibro1

Really. Pull the race card - that's real nice. You don't even know where I am from fool.

What does being black have to do with anything? Can't you look past color dude?

[blacklite911]

Shani Davis is the bomb, he doesn't care about all the media hoopla, he stays true to himself and when he's in america he helps out young kids at his hometown getting into speed skating, but the media doesn't report that. They make it seem like just because he doesn't pony up for the media that he's not a good guy, in reality he's a great guy. The fact that he doesn't conform to the normal ham makes me like him more. If i were him, I'd make some extra cash with endorsements but thats just me.

[rianjonas1]

his voice doesnt seem like it should be his

[Y85colette]

lmao it doesnt match him right? hes cute but i cant stand it haha

[piet3333]

Shani Davis is the best speedskater in the world i think

he does things his own way because he always had to do it on his own

also its just crazy to see an African-American outskate all the white guys and make it look so effortless at times and natural

Great Olympic Champion.

[1973stefant]

@piet3333 You're right about Shani, he is one of the best sprinters ever, but don't make it a racial thing about it. In the spirit of the Olympics it doesn't Mather what the color of you're skin is

de groeten

[malcolmwhitfield]

Wow ... what a nice guy and a hard worker on the ice. Anyone who thinks this guy is a bad apple ... must be a nutcase. This guy has virtually had no olympic assistance or sponsors, this guy has made history, PERIOD!

SHANI DAVIS IS A TRUE AMERICAN HERO! and quite frankly I AM EXTREMELY PROUD OF HIM and I AM PROUD TO BE an AMERICAN!

[skatelandmobile]

Shani is a traitor! He is unamerican and very selfish! He needs to get exported! We all know his attitude during the 2006 olympics.. He cares for no one but himself!

[1973stefant]

@skateandmobile. It's clear that you know nothing about Shani and skating.

I wonder why is happier in Netherlands than in the USA.

mabey because we treat him with respect

We cheer for him if he wins, even when hij wins from the Dutch skaters.

He trains in the Netherlands with its main competitors. maybe you could also do that in American.

[Nanadsyl]

You are unamerican and a traitror stakelandmobile. You are exactly what is wrong with America. You sit on the sidelines on your ass and talk trash about someone actually doing somehting positive for America. Go join an antigovernment militia you sound like a realy fool!!!

[Nanadsyl]

Please dont remove Skatelandmobiles comments let him continue to talk through his ass and show how he feels about an American hero Shani Davis!!

[deckham]

Arrogant bastard... him and Lindsey Jacobellis give US athletes a bad name... selfish.

[MoBayGal1]

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems Europeans want him to do better than some and I say some in his own country...case in point Headcaserick

[deckham]

Shani's is a freakin' douche.... He's the Terrell Owens/ Ochocinco of figure skating. Doesn't even participate in team events because he's a sole entity... what a joke. Hope he busts in the Olympics.

[TheMakingsofMyself]

what will being team do? and for the record he never entered the team persuit the last time and the federation lied on him and hung him out to dry. he is a great skater but because he doesn't do team he sucks? bullshit

[aikibro1]

@TheMakingsofMyself Totally true... Davis never entered the team pursuit, US Speedskating entered him w/o his knowledge or consent. He had every right to focus on HIS goals... not Hedrick's, not US Speedskating.

He told US Speedskating to kiss off and now he rules the world. Way to go bro!

[MoBayGal1]

Hedrick can go to hell. I think he didn't want the guy to get an individual medal and that is so sad. Team isn't always important. Go Shauni

[forcystus26]

awesome skater! shani is the man.

[Mattysgirl1994]

yeahh shani :D

[mmackaay]

dutch curling team!!!!!

[18seki]

Nzingamina, hahaha, the joke is on Shani Davis. He wins the gold but he is not getting any endorsement opportunities! That's what he gets for showing his true color (pun intended)! As far as your Obama comment is concerned, even if he wins, I doubt that the black community in the U.S. will be any better off.

[Nanadsyl]

The joke is on you and everyone who thinks endorsements will make or break an athlete. Look at all the bum athletes in jail or on drugs with all their endorsements. Shani is his own man he doesn't need your or any one elses approval!! Shani lets his skating speak for him!!

[18seki]

Nanadsyt, oh, really? Since there is no professional skating association, how does Shani Davis pay for his cost to train, live, etc.? Yup, endorsement money, baby! Wake up for god's sake!

[Nanadsyl]

Shani never had endorsements so how do you think he got the money to train and compete since you know so much??!! You need to wake up!

[MoBayGal1]

so true

[bootyisyou911]

18seki, you stupid or guess you did not bother to look at all the sponsor logos on his uniform lately.

[nzingamina]

yeah I saw the same interview...typical American race baiting...Shani showed them he was above it.

Thanks for typical Whit angry post...Obama 08.

[Monique707]

He is realy cool! Great personality and a very good skater! Schaatsen, er bestaat niks beters!!!

[stretchipress]

I'm really happy for him! He's an inspiration in more ways than one!

[Lijanuh]

I like him!

[hanssmed]

Shani Davis is the speed skating's Jimi Hendrix. that's all i can say.

[terrafirmaterrafirma]

Shani Davis is a great great person. Not only has he climbed to the highest rank in the ladder of ice speed skating, he has also fought outright racism, and has done it with utmost elegance. Shani Davis is a tribute to mankind. He is also a great person. Some times it is best to remain silent, and he certainly knows that.
