Since I was a TEENAGER I have been STANDING up to antisemitism, racism and DISCRIMINATION in all its forms.
The imperialists SEE EXTREMISTS everywhere. It's not that we are extremists. It's that the world is waking up. It's waking up all over, and PEOPLE are STANDING up.
What snowboarding has always had and the Olympics has not touched is that spirit, that original spirit of CREATIVITY and athletes STANDING up and having a voice and being innovative. But I guess what the Olympics has DONE is PROVIDED a platform for that spirit, and that's what I see as being a really positive THING.
