Shani Davis Who Boycotted Olympics Opening Ceremony Got Very Bad News!
Was this just a timing issue or a little bit of shade? Shani Davis, 35, wasn’t with the rest of Team USA when they entered the Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium for the Opening Ceremony on Feb. 9.
The speed skater was absent, and considering what he said about who got to be the country’s flag bearer, the timing has raised a few eyebrows.
According to a U.S. speedskating spokesperson, however, Davis only planned on marching in the parade if he was picked for the position.
“Shani won’t march in the parade. It was never part of his plans. He is fully focused on his first race and is concentrating on that,” the spokesman said.
Hamlin and Davis were the two finalists for the flag bearer position (among eight nominees). Team members from each of the eight Team U.S.A. sports delegations — bobsled and skeleton, ski and snowboarding, figure skating, curling, biathlon, hockey, speedskating, and luge — voted to decide. The vote was split down the middle, so the decision was made with a coin toss.
After the loss, to a white female athlete, Davis threw a hissy fit, claimed the coin toss was RACIST and boycotted the opening ceremony.
Davis tweeted about the situation almost immediately:
“I am an American and when I won the 1000m in 2010 I became the first American to 2-peat in that event,” he wrote. “@TeamUSA dishonorably tossed a coin to decide its 2018 flag bearer. No problem. I can wait until 2022. #BlackHistoryMonth2018”
Who the hell he think he is?
Maybe he thinks that he is bigger than our Olympic team!
This is the reason why many people will not like this man he goes and attack our country and put hashtag about black people when this has nothing to do with a racist attack or about the color of his skin!
His actions are no better than the anti-America NFL players who disrespect our nation, military, and police when they kneel during the anthem.
There’s a petition circulating, which states Davis does not embody the “spirit of America” and should be removed from the Olympic team.

What is going on here in America? N Korea and S Korea can come to the Olympics and act decent but a Black American cannot? Where in heck is your pride for your Country?? Don’t got any you say??? Than stay to hell home where you belong. You guys are blaming the wrong man. The only man responsible for the color of your skin is the man above and his name is God!! And as to what shade of Black is entirely up to your parents. You want to throw away all the time and money spent to get you here than go for it but on your time not ours. You will be remembered in 2020!!!
