As much as I strongly disagree with Isinbayeva, that is her opinion and she is very much entitled to it, unfortunately.

For some reason I find it really hard to like her! I don't know why.
When's she running? Semi and hopefully final tomorrow |

What has liberalism got to do with it? Comments like hers send out the message to Russians that homophobia is okay. What would you think if a British sportsperson came out with comments like that?

If a British sportsperson said it then I wouldn't care either, it's their opinion and they are entitled to it regardless of how many people don't like it. Like I said, I don't agree with her in the slightest, yet I believe in freedom of speech and people should be allowed to say what they believe.

The world would be a hellish place if people said what they really thought all the time. Some views absolutely need to be shouted down and argued against.

So we should all just keep our opinions to ourselves then? Where is the line drawn on what is considered offensive and what isn't?

And not to mention people in Russia who disagree with her have to keep their opinions to themselves or risk getting fined and thrown in prison. |

Glasgow is getting a Hard Rock Cafe..
http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/h...glasgow/055767 The new cafe will employ more than 80 people from the area and will have more than 9,000 square-feet of space, including seating for 170 guests, a live music area for weekly events, a late night bar and a merchandise-filled Rock Shop. |

In her case, yes. This woman is one of the most famous athletes on the planet and is hugely influential, she's ambassador for next year's Youth Olympics. With all that influence comes responsibility.

Russia is in a truly sorry state right now, and I sincerely hope more people start speaking out against them. If Sochi faced a mass boycott in 2014, I would be very happy that we're finally sending a message to Putin and his cronies that what they're doing can never, ever be acceptable. |

Never been to a Hard Rock Cafe are they any good think my nearest one is Manchester though so probably too far to go just for a meal. Once ate at the Planet Hollywood is Disneyland Paris, my burger had blood in it, though apparently that's how they have them in France.

![]() As an aside, I've really liked it whenever a Russian athlete has won or done well at these championships (politics aside ). I love the crowd reaction - it was the same with London, the home crowd support.

Very good. Although I hope they're prepared for the endless abuse they're about to receive from the braindead beings that roam that sorry nation.
