You guys want to call the Americans sore losers?

Question

Here is a story that all of you should read.

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/news?slug=reu-wrestling_pix&prov=reuters&type=lgns

Now after reading that do you think us Americans are sore losers?

In my opinion this guy is the poster boy of a sore loser.

Answer 1

I don't read random links.

Answer 2

He got jobbed. He was mad, not because he lost, but because he thought he was cheated.

BTW, the US Men's Basketball Team did not even show up to take their Silver Medals in the 1972 Olympics, after they were cheated by the officials in the gold medal game against the USSR. That was the first time an American basketball team ever lost an Olympic game. Their medals are still sitting in a bank vault in Geneva.

Answer 3

This is why Pro Wrestling should be in the Olympics.

We would have this sort of dummy spitting all the time!!!

Answer 4

The American athletes are not sore losers but the American public are

Answer 5

Sure, he's a sore loser. Btw, I think U.S. athletes in the Olympics have been more or less classy people. I haven't seen them complain or blame others for losing. It's been the coaches and the American mainstream public that has shown what disgusting people they are.  

Answer 6

Alright so you're both sore losers, him doing that doesn't change the fact that America is making a fool of themselves

Answer 7

Americans are not sore losers because we have the intelligence to analyze and recognize situations where we and the World's athletes are short-changed or cheated, especially when sports are involved.

To all of those other countries claiming the US to be the worst sore losers, I can remember when we liberated France, freed hostages in Iran, freed Iraq from Saddam Hussein's rule and got him executed, helped eliminate Romania's dictator and his wife, made the Iron Curtain and Berlin Wall fall, helped fight communism in Vietnam and other situations where the USA had to wipe the World's backside because they were incapable of fighting their own battles.....

Most other countries that are not our allies have jealousy towards the US and our allies because we are not 3rd world, are modernized, not under communist rule, have excellent athletes and a leader that is not afraid to go to war against our enemies to protect the citizens of the United States and our land.

If people want to make the Olympic games a political thing, contact the IOC to make "political debate" a new sport.....  Just keep sports and politics separate and we'll enjoy the games more.....    

Answer 8

yer but this doesn't stop the americans being sore losers as well lol

Answer 9

Yes - he is a seriously sore loser.

Does not change the fact that since the loss to the Chinese WAG team yesterday, the majority of supporters of Team USA have only either accused China of cheating, or ripped shreds off Alicia Sacramone.

Answer 10

Regardless, second place is the FIRST loser.

Answer 11

I think that article proves that sports that are "judged"  have no place in the Olympics.   Judges are too opinionated.  I do not care what country they are from or how unbiased they may claim to be, there is still too much room for manipulations.

Only sports that are determined head to head with a clear cut winner or loser or by overall times should be considered for medals.  

Answer 12

Yes, yes we do... you are second in the medal count.. its based on number of golds... dont make it number of medals just because that puts you on top of the ladder.

Answer 13

sometimes they are

Answer 14

umm yeah he is a sore loser

but maybe he worked really hard

and was dissapointed

Answer 15

But the article doesn't say why he was so upset. Yeah, he shouldn't have behaved this way, but if he received the bronze (rather than the gold) as a result of some seriously flawed or bias judging, then he has reason to be upset. If he's just pissed because he didn't win gold then he's just an a$$.

Answer 16

its not even a fact were sore losers.tell me in your honest opinion you dont think they are young?being young has its advantage in gmynastics why do you think they do it.

Answer 17

Americans lose at things????? Can it be so??? I didn't think the American media would be allowed to play such pernicious and destructive images in the homeland, surely the whole sad belief that they are the world's greatest would begin to crumble. We couldn't have that now, could we??

Answer 18

You are all sore losers.

This Swedish wrestler did not handle the situation well at all. He should be ashamed for the way he acted.

But the Americans? Ripping to shreds a young 20 year old gymnast? Accusing China of using underage girls to compete? It's pathetic. Alicia Sacramone did all she could. And one bad day does not cover all the good days she had that brought America to much pride. China's underage girls? Question: is China stupid or is America? Why on earth would China be so dumb as to bring out underage girls? I had no idea it was so easy to cheat. And why on earth would China bring out a girl with a tooth missing they know is underage and they know will be suspected of being underage when compared to the other contestants? If the Americans look carefully, the tooth is not a baby tooth that fell out. When baby teeth fall out, the gums are black for a while. Hers are fully pink.

So yes, you are ALL sore losers. China won the gymnastics female team gold medal. GET OVER IT, stop acting like spoiled immature sore losers.

(And to the guy two answers below, how does their interference in the politics of other countries change the fact that they are sore losers? It's not intelligent or graceful to find any kind of excuse to blame the gold medal loss at the female gymnastics team. Your calculations are off and your argument is weak. I guess Americans really aren't that intelligent after all.)
