Good thing most of the athletes we sent were gay, I heard gay people don’t get cold.

The U.S. Olympic Committee told American athletes that wearing their team colors at the 2014 Winter Games may make them a target in Sochi, according to multiple reports.
“The U.S. Department of State has advised that wearing conspicuous Team USA clothing in non-accredited areas may put your personal safety at greater risk,” the committee said to U.S. athletes in a memo, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
It was unclear when the memo was sent.
“If you are an American Olympic athlete, you don’t want to advertise that far outside the Olympic venues,” said a senior State Department official during a recent briefing in Washington, D.C., per CNN.
