Ive been following the olympics on yahoo, and ive just read an article on james degale winning middleweight gold, and it was filled with pathetic sideswipes at britain, british boxing, james degale etc, ending with the comment that 'Degale, 22, has no real international success, but he made a surprise run to the title fight while the top middleweight contenders were eliminated by others', despite the fact that degale beat the 2004 welterweight goldmedalist in the quarters, and the highly rated cuban in the final. Also in yahoo olympic boxing section, there is a medal table for the boxing, but for some reason britain is missing, when we should be second with 1 gold, 2 bronze, just behind Cuba, i can only suppose some pathetic, petty, crybaby yank just couldn't face up to aknowledging britain second on the table while america is nowhere with just a single bronze. Also i read another article about britains cycling successes, which was again full of pathetic little sideswipes, basically suggesting they were only successful because of massive funding, wheras in reality, that funding has only brought funding in uk sports to a comparable level with most other western countries, and still nowhere anywhere near funding that US olympic sports get. They act like this, and yet they wonder why the whole world hates them
