Olympic judges

If anything, I've heard US announcers being very complimentary to other countries athletes. I haven't heard any overtly biased broadcasts.

my girlfriend is Indian, and she always points out when something being said is ignorant/nationalistic, so maybe I'm just more prone to noticing subtle comments because of her. I will say the majority of the time our reporters are doing a great job or reporting on the activities and the athletes, its during the live broadcasting and commentary where I hear most of the comments that stick out to me.

It was a terribly dry joke. You know, everyone just assumes that the US is oblivious to the rest of the world. When I hear 'GB' on a paintball forum I just assume they mean Gruntbull (even though I know youre a limey )



I am not funny (again/still?).







Aaaaaaanyways, I agree with you DM. Im all for the instant replay in ANY sport/game.

lol I got the joke, although what I didnt get was what Gruntball is. But Im assuming its a big game (paintball) or something.

A few more golds for team Gruntball today!

Devilman, your definition of what constitutes a sport needs some work. To qualify as a sport, physical pain must be intentionally inflicted by opponents. That means things like football, rugby, hockey, mma, and occasionally baseball, are sports. Things like soccer, track and field, swimming, gymnastics, etc. are much too gay to be considered sports. They are games.

lol you tell Devilman that he needs to work on his def, then you use gay to define something yourself

if the point of a sport is to inflict pain, then its great that we enroll kids into these sports

that is about the worst definition of sport Ive ever heard in my life

edit: have you ever seen a tackle in soccer or a gymnast fall because his/her opponent pushed them too far?.....physical pain is involved in those sports too.

My definition is flawless. Youre an idiot.

The olympics should ALWAYS be in Greece, and every contest should be to the death.

Ya ok. He didnt flame you. He posted his opinion with some respect and you didnt.
You cant seem to post with any respect and with out flaming or using the word GAY.
You have been warned and banned, warned and banned and dont seem to GET IT.
You are now on a Perm Ban. If you really care about your account my mail is, Beemerone at comcast.net.

Sorry about that folks. He picked the wrong day to call another member that posted an Idiot.

Back on topic..........I have been following the GAMES. That is what they are called after all. The Olympic GAMES. I tend to put all the BS [politics and what not] aside and enjoy them for what they are and what they are supposed to represent.

Its all about the athletes.

" person possessing the natural or acquired traits, such as strength, agility, and endurance, that are necessary for physical exercise or sports, especially those performed in competitive contexts."

Sure is a good feeling for the U.S.A. to have Phelps wearing the Red White and Blue.

Dont miss all the Good Sortsmanship going on between ALL the athletes. How about that Torres swimmer who held up the race for another swimmer who had an issue with her suit. She wanted everyone in then lost a Gold by one, one hundredth.

Ironic Phelps won his seventh by that much

[Warwitch]

Torres is definitely a class act all around.

So looks like last night was more of the same (womens gymnastics uneven bars). What a crock. Olympic judging panel = /= credible.

[DevilMan]

hmmmmm.... all about skill eh????

I rest my case.
