I maintain that Thompson was making a joke about Irish dialect, not ignorance; it's much ado about not much but as an Irish-American I agree it was tasteless. Take him out of the "Oylmpic" Games ceremony and be done with it, freedom of speech allows even insensitive words be spewed, unfortunately. Oh, wait, does England have that principle?

I am an Irish Dyslexsick and I can't see anything wrong with Oylmpic. So what is all the fuss about.
