Bearded men

[Tropicana]

Just taking in the bobsled competition. This year the Canadian team decided to go with a longer hair, bearded look. The White guys looks so shaggy and scruffy. Lascelles Brown and Bryan Barnett look clean, neat and tidy. The White team members slook like they haven't had a bath in years.

Ever notice that, unless im beard locks, a Black man can still look presentable with a beard but White guys look really shabby unless the beard is really short.





I think they are going for a Canadian lumberjack look.

Sexy... I don't think so they look bushy and shaggy.

They already won the Hottest Olympians (in our minds) and now the Canadian bobsled team is going for the gold in another category which is just as equally important: best beards.
Canadian bobsledder Justin Kripps posted a sexy photo on Twitter this week which showed him and his just-as-hot teammates rocking their best lumberjack beards.

"Bearded bobsledders representing Canadian culture #Sochi2014," wrote the hunky Olympian.
Kripps also noted that his official website is censored in Russia, which may have something to do with the shirtless pic he posted of his teammates posing in their underwear.

We're not complaining!

Gross violation....more like just plain gross.

A gross human rights violation occurred in Russia on Thursday night: the government blocked Canadian bobsledder Justin Kripp's website — a wondrous place where one could, if they wanted, find shirtless pictures of Canada's bearded, muscley bobsled team. Kripps doesn't know why this happened. (If we were Kripps, we'd probably start with the shirtless, underwear-clad, muscled bobsledders with the big gay following.)Kripps tweeted that he noticed his site was blocked and tweeted the demonstrative Russian notice that he received:

I guees I should have posted this in the fashion section. I honestly had no idea it was such a big story.

[Tropicana]

So what do you say. Sexy or shaggy and sloppy?

[Tropicana]

Same story with the Red Sox? Shaggy or sexy? Notice the Black athlete looks fine.

No never noticed. What I noticed though is that your comments are a broad generalization, which make you appear quite ignorant and racist.

I asked your opinion about long beards on White vs Black man.

I did not ask for your opinion about me as I don't value it and I believe I have let you know that before. As usual, you can't focus on the topic and can only turn interactions into a personal attack.

Guess I had better take a screen shot of this as it will likely be deleted.

[Pepper]

If my post gets deleted, it will not be by me. I always stand behind what I post. I never post/delete and run. And I did answer your question.

[Tropicana]

.....and added a personal attack....and this is not the first time. Have you never heard that effective leadership avoid personal attacks particularly in person and lead by example? Apparently not. You have once again shown your hand as being FAR from impartial and effective leaders are also impartial.

[Pepper]

Yes I know, anyone who disagrees with your opinion is attacking you. I did not edit or delete your post, yet you claim I am not impartial. You stated your opinion and I stated mine. Your post appears racist. I said it again, because from my computer screen that is the way it looks.

Man the story even hit CNN.

[Tropicana]

What's up with Canadian athletes and these beards.

This has got to be a joke. Here is another shaggy, sloppy looking Canadian athlete going for the Canadian lumberjack look. :

Methinks they watched Paul Bunyan cartoon re-runs one time too many when they were growing up.

Either that or re-runs of the Looney Tunes or was it Popeye reruns with the French lumberjack. I think his name was Pierre.
