From Yahoo – Peter Sagan may have finished second in the Tour of Flanders in Belgium on Sunday, but he definitely took first when it came to “jokes” that backfired in a big way. Sagan, a 23-year-old cyclist from Belgium, is attracting plenty of criticism from the cycling world and beyond after he pinched the backside of a podium girl during the medal ceremony. The mischievous grin on Sagan’s face suggests he was hamming it up for the cameras that were trained on him, but he quickly learned the error of his ways once the photo made its way around the Internet.

This is a sad day, not only for the world of cycling, but for the world in general. Gone are the Mad Men days, when men who had established their distinct dominant male attributes were granted not the privilege but the right to a firm hand right on the ass. It was not a matter of harassment (which coincidentally has the word “ass” in it, how’s that for a conspiracy?), rather a recognition of the biggest boss in the room. The accountants can sit idly by with their calculators and download a YouPorn video or something, because this is savage territory. Today, society has gone soft, and with it, the American Dream. But hey, it’s not like the ’50s were a time when the U.S. decisively won wars, had a shitload of money, and everyone got laid…
Look at this guy: That is the face of NFG – a man who knows what is right and refuses to allow the confines of societal philistinism to keep him from claiming what is rightfully his. This guy, while Slovakian, is doing this for America. He may not speak a lick of English and probably burns the stars and stripes on an average Tuesday afternoon, but he is a true American patriot. This is the call for all champions of sport, industry, and even art to stand up and make what is right right: Grab some asses #SaveSagan.
