If spank, you mean win by .08 seconds, then yeah.

Either way, it was AWESOME.

Agreed. In fact, that should be the new Olympic slogan.

In the 50m freestyle, maybe. In the 4 x 100 meter relay, not so much. The 3rd place team (Aussie) finished over 1.5 seconds behind USA and France.

I knew the French weren't going to win because the NBC commentators kept harping on the fact that they would. Thus far, every person that NBC's proclaimed to be the best of the best has failed miserably at what they do. They're like a fucking jinx.

This is true. Just look at the whole segement they had on that whore from France, and then in the race she finishes last.

I found that fucking hilarious really. But I don't think anyone truly expected her to do well, they were just pushing the story because it was ~dramatic~.

Was that the girl who left to train in Italy with her boyfriend and then he cheated on her with some other swimmer?

That was funny.
>> Anonymous
>>237648
Yes.
>>237629
The two announcers said that the Italian girl who was with her ex-boyfriend was going to win, and she'd get bronze or silver. But it was hilarious when the Italian didn't get shit (If I remember right, I think Katie Hoff got silver, and some Brits got gold and bronze), and the French whore finished last.

Yeah. Except I think it was more she ditched everything to go to Italy with him, Italy tells her gtfo they don't want her training with their top swimmers, he hooks up with the Italian chick and she ends up going back home. Then SUDDENLY- nudes!

That race was pretty ridiculous. For most of the race, 5 teams were ahead of the world record mark. USA broke the old record by 4 seconds and only won by .08 seconds.

I felt bad for the SA team. I don't even think they broke their own record.

Everyone in this race was so fast, even the 5th place Sweden broke the World Record.

When you break the world record and STILL don't get a medal, thats fucked up.

So you don't have a hard on for the Olympics. Bravo. There's no need to belittle it just because you don't enjoy it:>>237548
Simply ignoring it would be a normal course of action for most people, as opposed to telling those who do enjoy it not to cheer.

even the britfags were secretly rooting for us at the end... and yes, it was the greatest swimming relay EVAR.

No, but a significant portion of the population does do all of those things. They cannot be discounted just because they don't represent a simple majority or because they don't represent the values you personally believe to be "preferable".
America is not a melting pot where all distinct features wash away into a big gray mass. It's a patchwork. Each patch bears significance in its own way. If you don't like what a particular patch represents, if you think it is a stain on your country's honor just say that, but don't pretend it doesn't exist.

Ok caught me on a technicality. But yes, that tendency is definitely far more significant in the American population than in any other part of the world. They're called patterns. To you they're all just stereotypes so you're blind to them.

Those movies typically have little to no competition.

And it's stupid to think that box office sales are a good indication of public opinion.

Maybe if you presented this "consensus" in a better way, I would've listened.

But honestly saying things like Americans are the only ones with no interest in the Olympics just makes you look ignorant. Are you even from the States?
