Observation on Olympics wank

[laleia]

Okay, I will be the first person to admit that I don't know anything technical about gymnastics. I have read several people's analysis of the recent (controversial?) women's individual gymnastic events, and I really have to say one thing -- NBC commentators really have to start realizing how bitter they sound. Repetitive claims of biased judging and, more importantly, snide comments about the judges' home country's inability to produce gymnastics medalists really just make you sound like a sore loser. Comments like "Does she really think she won a gold medal?" Um. She has one around her neck. They're playing her anthem. I think she does.

Oh, I know. Sometimes their pessimism dampens the entire mood of the Olympics; I just try to tune it out.
