They probably cheat at all the events

Again Fox News is exposing the TRUTH

Answer 1

I think it's more likely that Americans are racist and bitter at getting beaten in multiple events involving China.

Answer 2

It isn't cheating ... the Chinese invented the ability to be invisible ... the invisible Chinese caused Alicia Sacramone to fall on TWO routines?  There are no Olympic rules that stop the invisible Chinese to trip up their opponents ... did the FOX station ignore this critical fact?

Answer 3

i dont think either of them deserved the gold because the US just sucked and the chinese didnt play by the rules. so i dont think the US was robbed because they just gave it away.

Answer 4

I think this section is filled with China's cyber propaganda employees..

Answer 5

Typical American sour grapes.

Typical Fox rabid nationalism.

Even if it's typical Chinese cheating (like the singing girl and the fake fireworks...)

Answer 6

you just can't take losing

Answer 7

Does this really bother you that much? If so seek professional help asap.  

Answer 8

I'm not sure what i'm more upset about in this post. The fact that you are accusing a country of cheating with no proof other than a missing tooth....or the fact you used the words 'Fox News' and 'truth' in the same sentance.

Answer 9

Why are you bothered when you didn't even compete?

Sounds like a sore loser to me.

Answer 10

It's called dedication and hard work. Stop discrediting the Chinese just because you read something from a secondary source.

Answer 11

Oh so its OK if USA win all the time. When some other country wins either than the US, they surely must be cheating!

Answer 12

No the Americans sucked... they are being sore losers.

im all for the usa but they didnt do good at all

Answer 13

American Answer: Yes

America will get plenty of medals in the Track & Field events, One medal will not make too much difference.

America weren't exactly good at the gymnastics. Sorry.

Answer 14

j-dubb said "Besides, without America the world would be NOWHERE. They know that and that's why they hate us so much."

oh dear. that is why some people hate america, its that attitude. the we are better than everyone else so we can do what ever we like and you will have to deal with it attitude. china will over take america soon as the leading world power.

this thread is pathetic, you can't win everything so stop acting like a spoilt child and accept that you lost to a better team.

Answer 15

As an American, I believe that the World was cheated by China because of the fact they broke the rules with athletes younger than the age limit put forth by the IOC.  We're all getting screwed by the IOC because it seems they may have been "strongarmed" by the politburo, secret police or the "chairman" himself before the games into believing that China's athletes are of age and that the judges should favor China, otherwise face sanctions, possible "reprogramming", discipline, or expulsion from the games.

Anyone that is blind to those facts and don't know how communist governments operate should start learning about them and how they utilize shady practices to get what they want.

The ugly, prepubescent, yellow snaggletooth Chinese "girls" gymnastic team don't know what's up because the government lied to them about the age limit, but were required to have those crusty, cheesy smiles as prescribed by the communists.  If they did not smile as ordered or tried to act more mature than their age of 10-13, then their pet dogs would be kidnapped and eaten in Bejing's finest restaurants.....  "No Gold Medal, no more Fido....."  

Also, to those that did not watch the games or know anything about scoring in gymnastics, the Chinese have dull and uninteresting routines and apparatuses that are just not exciting.  Japan, USA, Germany and Russia are risk takers and should have gotten higher scores because they completed the required elements, but added higher risk moves too.  China also made more mistakes, missteps during landings and had flexed arms or legs when they should have been straighter.  The World's countries made less mistakes but were docked points for them while China kept their scores intact, with mistakes.....  Anyone that watched it, but denies China received favors from the judges are blind and cannot see clearly.....

Answer 16

i agree with the first answer.  the americans simply expect to be brilliant at everything.  tht link is clearly an INCREDIBLY biased story and not a worthy source of information.  the fact tht the americans only have contraversy over the age of an athlete WHEN BEATEN BY THEM is, quite frankly, disgusting.  the british diver was only 14 yrs old, but i dnt see Fox News complaining about that, seeing as the Americans beat them!  this is simply another example of racist, selfish, greedy americans!

Answer 17

the world would be nowhere with out America?

how do you figure that?

anyway, if thats what you think, then the British and Spanish and Italians and Natives are your supirior. You all spawned from generations from these countries and many more since Columbus "discovered" America for Europe and the Natives lived there when Columbus made this "discovery".

you make no sense.

Answer 18

You're freaking retarded. There's no solid proof that China even cheated right now. It's simply Western media pointing fingers and mindlessly accusing the Chinese team in a failed effort to distract them. Disgusting.

Also, it was Alicia Sacramone who screwed up the team. She fell twice and later, Natsia and Shawn stepped out of bounds. Oh, so the Chinese are responsible for them falling and stepping out of bounds too? "lyk 0mg, t3h Ch1n3s3 t3l3path1cally m4de th3 US t3am scr3w up!!"

Ridiculous.

Answer 19

The chinese cheating pales into insignificance against the words"Again Fox News exposing the TRUTH"

Fox news  tells Americans what they want to hear & not really how it is. There may be truth in this story but say Fox news is reliable is an insult.  It is nothing more than a propaganda machine

Answer 20

No. I think the Chinese deserved it Fair and square. As a fellow American I ask for you not to look for excuses but to congratulate China.

Congratulations and Good Luck China!

Go Team USA!

P.S. Dear Pontious,

I think you're the only racist here with all of your Anti-American answers. Grow up Hypocrite.

Answer 21

As an American I am pissed that we didn't have a similar commitment like the Chinese had to win.  There project 119 or whatever it is called was brilliant commitment of being the best and I wish the USA had done a similar project.  Stop being jealous and congrat the chinese for doing whatever it takes.

Answer 22

No. We didn't need the Chinese to cheat. Our failure was on our own team: Alicia Sacramone. She pulled a humpty dumpty off the balance beam and then decided to sit on the floor during her floor excercise and walk out of bounds. Does that sound like a gold medal performance to you?

As an American, I was actually embarassed that we even got silver. I like to see worthy athletes with medals, and Alicia brought us down!

(and Fox News is not a source I would site as "reliable")

Answer 23

To be honest, our girls made too many mistakes to win the gold. It wouldn't have mattered. I think we all need to stop pointing the finger at someone else over our loss. I know, it's dissappointing cuz the USA girls could have done a lot better. I've never seen Alicia Sacramone do that bad!

On another note, it is sort of funny how everyone is telling the Americans to "get over it and move on" cuz, if the Americans would have cheated like that, the whole d**n world would have thrown a fit. We never would have heard the end of it. Double standards!!!!

Answer 24

TO PONTIUS: How can Americans be racist as a whole, when as a whole we are, europeans, asians, africans, and others?

Now to answer this question, we will never know if we were robbed unless an honest investigation is put into this. Until then we as sensible Americans should respect the fact that China won gold and we didn't.

Besides, without America the world would be NOWHERE. They know that and thats why they hate us so much.

Answer 25

its all just SILLY RUMORS (and don't say I'm chinese because I'm not!!!

its deceptive , there is no way possible they can be underage it would be mission impossible  to scandal (cheat , call it what you want) so blaintantly at such a high level (scale) event

can we please STAMP OUT THIS BLOODY ANNOYING ROOMER PLEASE!!!!!!!!
