What do you think of the fact Tom Daily was knitting at the Olympics?

Knitting is not quite as good as crotchet but is a useful lifeskill and it's always reassuring to me when I see the upcoming generation doing sensible useful things.

However it is a bit gender incongruous for a male to do this. I know he is a homosexual so that might go some way to explain why he was doing this but when you weigh that up with the fact there was a female who won a medal for doing something on a BMX it makes me wonder if there is an concerted effort to undermine traditional gender roles in this country.

If Tom daly likes to knit then that’s down to him he is not hurting anybody and if anyone has nasty comments about it , why does it bother them he not interfering with there life

I don't care. What I find stupid are his 'I am gay and an Olympic champion' words. And what is unacceptable is that he and his partner bought a baby.

Also, bigots who are criticising Djokovic for breaking his racket, and praise Daily for his knitting suck. Each person has a different way to bear with pressure.

Generally speaking, these Olympic games suck, everything is politized.
@MsBellows You: [quote]there is an concerted effort to undermine traditional gender roles in this country.[/quote]

Me: I hope so.

@Mamapolo2016 why do you hope so?
@MsBellows I'm fairly sure discussing that would be a waste of my time and yours.
For the record, the needlework you refer to is [i]crochet[/i]. Crotchet sounds more like that BMX maneuver you mention.

@Ingwe yes crotchet is by far superior to knitting
