Olympic Swimmer Participated in the Incelrection

Why the long face?

[quote] Klete Keller

It’s Klute, god damn it!

He is so unattractive wow

Cunt Keller

Keller's pronouns are "he" and "him" surprisingly. Look at those hands, those wrists, that smile!

I hope it was Michael Phelps that turned him in.

R5, no joke!

Is that a dude?

Potato faced and Chiclet teeth. Swoon!

His name must have sounded better in the original German.

Who's had her?

who would want to

These idiots are undoubtedly starting to feel the symptoms of their superspreader sedition. Little cough yesterday, couldn't taste the white sugar in their Cheerios this morning . . .

Do all Olympic level swimmers have that Marfan Syndrome look?

Wow, looking at the picture I really thought that it was a woman. A horsey woman, but XX chromosomes all the same.

His teammates are to be commended

Well he DOES have that inbred look.......

Her new name is Elliot.

Tiny dicklet, less drag in the water.

Another horseface.

To quote DL icon, Miss Swan:

[quote]She look like man...

Looks like Prince William

I thought it was a lesbian at first.

He looks like that army vet woman who was killed in the siege

This would have been a perfect thing for Ryan Lochte to do.

[quote] Do all Olympic level swimmers have that Marfan Syndrome look?

Tom Daley doesn't.

[quote] Incelrection

Are you suggesting that no females were amongst the crowd?

[Quote] He had a pretty interesting life post Olympics:

set the former American record in the 400 free at the 2004 Olympics and the former American and World records in the 800 free relay at the 2007 World Championships.

Keller struggled to adjust to post-Olympic life after 2008. He told the Olympic Channel podcast how swimming had set high expectations for his success which backfired in the work setting as it caused frustration. He explained how his past victories in the pool also made him feel “entitled” at first.

“I’ll be honest I wasn’t a good employee…for the longest time because I expected it all to come to me as easily as swimming did,” Keller said. “Once things started going south…I lost that enthusiasm.”

This struggle spiraled into all aspects of his life, culminating in the “reality check” which he pinpointed as the day he became homeless. In 2014, he and his wife got divorced, after which he lived out of his car for about 10 months. In an interview with USA Swimming, Keller explained that he did not have visitation rights to see his children for 4 years.

He described the reality behind what seemed like a sharp turn in his life. “It’s a slow leadup of shirking responsibility, and just letting the little things slide every day…it eventually builds a critical mass and once that critical mass is built it’s that last final straw that breaks the camel’s back,” Keller told the Olympic Channel. He detailed his outlook on life getting “lower and lower.”

Keller then talked about his gradual comeback after receiving “love and acceptance from his family,” specifically his sister and 2004 Olympian Kalyn Keller who took him in. He worked through this time by teaching swim lessons and running swim clinics.

Unfortunately, there aren't any pools in federal prisons where he can practice his breaststroke, but he can practice the buttstroke in the men's shower room.

That's a pleasant picture at R27.

[quote]He looks like that army vet woman who was killed in the siege

They really do look like they could be related. Why are so many Trumpies so fucking horse-faced?

r26 Are you suggesting there are no female incels?

[quote] In 2014, he and his wife got divorced

Is that when she found out he was a lesbian?

R31 'incel' is a member of an online community of young men who consider themselves unable to attract women sexually, typically associated with views that are hostile towards women and men who are sexually active.

"self-identified incels have used the internet to find anonymous support

How can one person be so fucking stupid?

I was trying to be snarky about the participants, especially Shaman Jamiroquai Dude That Lives With His Mom.

But yes, you bitches are correct, there were women there so "incelrection" is incorrect.

[quote] I was trying to be snarky

What will you be snarky about in 2 weeks time, R35?

R36 Your appearance.

[quote] Keller was wearing his Team USA Olympic jacket and was unmasked,

Oh, please, bitch. You were irrelevant 12 years ago! Nobody is impressed with your jacket. Did you wear the medal too? Idiot.

His team members turned him in, huh?

Well we know it wasn’t facial recognition software. There’s no fucking way that face is fitting in a computer box.

Any nudes?

So, another failure and fuck-up turns to Trump to express the rage that he hasn't had the gilded life he thinks he deserves.

Damn, to end up living in your vehicle and not able to visit your kids for four years is a real fall from grace.

I wonder if drugs were involved.

I wonder if the experience helped him grow to be a more understanding, empathetic pers...oh wait, he's a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps and storm the Capitol" asshole.

Datalounge's own Brenda Starr- Ronan Farrow- is on the case!

He's gonna have to do a cousins fuck thing with Colby or he may be employment challenged.

from the NYT: On Tuesday night, the Colorado real estate firm that had employed him for the past three years, Hoff & Leigh, announced that he had resigned “effective immediately.”

[quote] the gilded life

Why oh why, R41, why can't we have one of those?

Has his brother Kegan been reached for comment?

"Do all Olympic level swimmers have that Marfan Syndrome look?"

"Tom Daley doesn't."

He's a diver.

He looks like those doped-up East German women swimmers from the '80s.

Thank God it wasn't Ryan Lochte. Jeah!

Such sordid tales!

We relied on these men to give us Olympic Glory.

They gave us hopes and dreams.

Micheal Phelps when he saw KK in the video.

Don't you hate it when that happens, r51!

Holy shit. In the image at R52 both Keller and Lochte look like women.

[quote] Holy shit. In the image at [R52] both Keller and Lochte look like women.

Are you a misogynist, R55?

I get that having a gold medal is very impressive. I'd be impressed if my coworker was a gold medalist - in anything. But, unless you're a true Olympic star like Phelps, or, for example, some basketball player who is known more from their NBA career (and then only maybe), I can't see it ever working out that people are going to bow down to you at work and let your shitty attitude and work slide. And that you'd expect people to is even more perplexing.

R55 Lochte always had a somewhat lesbonic appearance to him.

Wow. He is going to be stripped of his medals and go to jail for years.

LOL: when I first saw this I assumed it was a lesbian. He looks like one. l know so many lesbians who support Trump.

I am a former Olympian -What he did degrades the sport. The IOC will very likely strip him of his medals and his records, as well as issue a lifetime ban.

That goes without saying R61.

(R61) Were you a gymnast? They're the hottest male Olympians.

I have never, ever met a competitive swimmer who is not as thick as pig shit.

Has he been arrested? If not, why not?

He looks like a younger version of Diana Nyad, another swimming lesbian.

Does his middle name start with a K too?

r64 what about that handsome Mark Spitz?

R61, I have a bronze medal in gymnastics.

He wore his US Olympic team jacket.

They really are dumbs as rocks, aren’t they?

R69, male?

Divorced and not allowed to see his children, unemployable, and homeless until his sister took him in.

Sounds like he found his people with the Trumpers.

Yes.

"Divorced and not allowed to see his children..."

Courts never order that these days unless one parent is a real mess - abusive, severe psychiatric illness, drugged up to the point of not being able function or hide it, etc. And with most such people, courts will allow limited or supervised visitation, they don't completely stop a person from seeing their children unless they're proven to be an unrepentant monster.

He probably had to either pass a drug test, take parenting classes or submit to psychological testing in order to see his kids and wouldn’t/couldn’t do it.

I wanted this poster of Mark Spitz so badly after he won seven gold medals in the 1972 Olympics. I was twelve years old at the time and feared asking my parents if I could buy it.

He made me so horny...

Male aesthetics in the 70s were so bizarre.

Spitz today. He will be 71 next month.

[quote]He looks like a younger version of Diana Nyad, another swimming lesbian.

I think he looks more like Janet Evans.

R61 I have a bronze medal in gymnastics

Is your name Bart Conner, Tim Daggett, or Mitch Gaylord?

R81 and r81 surely listed here? Member of the 2008 bronze medal team?

R1 Cailtyn?

WELCOME!!!

[quote] Is that a dude?

Possibly dude adjacent?

I figure that this post-Olympic slump is common. The way athletes train nowadays, they don't seem to have time to do anything else. Do you make friends? Can they develop skills?

After their amateur athletics is over, then what?

Apparently sedition and possibly suicide R85. There’s an article out right now how Phelps’ wife worries every days about his depression and potential suicide and he’s successful and has three kids. If Michael Phelps can’t handle post Olympic life, I mean...

Olympians and athletes in general skew authoritarian, so not surprising Cletus here went full fascist.

In OP's photo, he looks like Amy Van Dyken -- whom I suspect is another Repub. Is swimming a deplorable sport?

Part of Phelp's problem is he is recognizable. He probably can't go anywhere without some one at least staring at him.

[quote]Part of Phelp's problem

Oh, dear.

Arrested and charged

^^Good luck to him even getting a job teaching, part-time, at the local Parks & Rec Center.

"Is swimming a deplorable sport?"

It skews wealthy and white, which skews Republican, take that for what you will. That doesn't mean there aren't exceptions or that there's 100 percent correlation. And, of course, there are some swimmers who aren't wealthy and white. So, the potential is there.

They got him!

Klete Keller, a three-time U.S. Olympic swimmer and gold medalist, was criminally charged Wednesday with participating in the Capitol riot, where he was identified in a video showing him wearing his USA Swimming jacket.

Keller is charged with obstructing law enforcement, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct, according to a complaint in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.

The 38-year-old, who has been working as a real estate broker in Colorado, won five medals in the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Olympics.

His two gold medals came as a member of relay teams that included Michael Phelps, who holds 23 Olympic gold medals.

Members of the swimming community reportedly noted Keller’s presence on a video from the riot, which showed supporters of President Donald Trump physically resisting police officers who were attempting to clear them out of the Capitol rotunda.

The swimming news site SwimSwam reported that “Keller has deleted all of his social media accounts, but prior to their deletion, he was an outspoken supporter of President Trump.”

Hoff & Leigh, where Klete Keller was employed as an Associate Broker confirmed that Keller had resigned from the company on Tuesday.

Also charged Wednesday was Robert Packer, a man who was seen among the mob that invaded the Capitol wearing a sweatshirt bearing the words “Camp Auschwitz,” and the phrase, “Work Brings Freedom.”

Packer is charged with entering a restricted building or grounds, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Oops, sorry I see someone has already posted about his arrest.

[quote] It skews wealthy and white, which skews Republican, take that for what you will.

R93, those are good points. This seems to apply to another Olympic sport I enjoy -- gymnastics -- where it seems like a fair number of American female gymnasts I liked have transitioned into conservative Republifraus. I think that is changing though, as the sport has become more diverse over the years.

It's hilarious that all of these Trumpers are all getting turned in by their teammates, coworkers and family members. They must be deplorable in every area of life.
