Question

Why are Americans such poor loosers? They always win the track events & when someone beats them they're angry?

Answer 1

I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe, if you trained for years to get a gold medal, you would be disappointed too. BTW, we're not poor losers. We're just winners by nature. Just part of being a citizen of the greatest country on Earth.

Answer 2

what are you talking about? do you have a link to show what you're talking about or just making an outlandish statement? at least we know the difference between loose and lose... loser.

Answer 3

Americans don't cheat and don't like cheaters, though they usually win even when their opponents are cheaters.  It's simple, really, but it's not like you could ever understand.

Answer 4

no, they're not angry.

Answer 5

Because they've been training their whole life to win, and in many cases were expected to do so. I'm sure they're mad because they didn't run their best time. They didn't do as well as they could have, and they are mad because they know they could have done better.

I don't think anyone who ever felt they could win was happy to fail. That doesn't make you a poor loser, necessarily.

Answer 6

um cuz we are WINNERS and if someone beats us its probably cuz they cheated and that would p**s anybody off

Answer 7

maybe its because they train so hard to get there and expect to win so when they dont they are kinda dispointed

Look at that wrestler that won the bronze. He wasnt from America and he still showed bad sportsmanship. There are other poor losers in the olympics that no one talks about

Answer 8

Who's angry???

Sounds like you are.  

Answer 9

US>Everyone else :D

Answer 10

Darn your one immature crybaby foreigner.

you wasted 5 points on that, you got issues son, probably some jealousy issues too.

grow up ya big baby and try to prove your lies.

Answer 11

No one likes being beaten. The media gets more upset about it than the athletes. The NBC commentators could learn quite a bit sportsmanship from the athletes.

Answer 12

your kidding right,

your attack on America is an utter failure, just like your countries medal count.

Answer 13

The only poor loser I see is you.

Answer 14

We are annoyed because we're getting extremely unlucky in a lot of events where we should be owning everyone (see women's 100HH, Tyson g*y, etc.). Other disappointing finishes that were under our control such as the women's 400 and 100 have added to this.

The fact is, we haven't shown up at all yet this year.

Answer 15

You are so right Maria.  Its not the athletes its those talking heads on TV - like Bella Karoli and his entourage.  Typical American.  I am glad that there are no American judges in these events - then they will always give 10 to all of their athletes.

Answer 16

Wow... you must have never competed in ANYTHING!

"Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is."

"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."

     - Vince Lombardi

When you understand what these quotes mean to anyone who has to compete again someone else, be it in a game or a job interview, then you can talk.  

As far as the judged events go... I would have an attitude with the judges too.  Especially if you felt that things weren't being judged fairly because of who you are or who you represent.

Answer 17

Well they practice for years trying to be the best and when someone beats them, they feel horrible and angry.

Answer 18

Its only natural to get angry when ur beaten

Answer 19

It's always enticing to poke at the strongest dog in the yard but never fun to fight him off leash.

Answer 20

I think everyone is getting tired of the bashing and poor sportsmanship shown on this site. Take pride in your oown country and hold your athletes up, don't spend your energy on tearing others down.
