KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — There was a ripple of discontent over a gay rights issue at the Sochi Games on Tuesday, but it had nothing to do with Russia.
Several American doubles lugers said they were irritated by a popular Canadian video celebrating diversity that pokes fun at their sport.
The Canadian Institute of Diversity and Inclusion recently released a promotional video that shows doubles luge, a sport in which one rider lies on top of the other as they sled down the track. At the end of the video is the tagline: “The Games have always been a little gay. Let’s fight to keep it that way.”

Have they seen what they look like at all? If anything, it's a tad silly. :lol:
oh well...
