    Its not just Anti america.
    I was watching the Mens Archery yesterday and GBR vs China, China were awarded an extra point. They didnt explain why or what for they just said 'oh looks like theyve given China an extra point' (Apparently their arrow touched enough of a score boundary to warrant a higher score)

    To be fair though as Hosts China have entered everything they can. They have over 600 competitors who didnt need to qualify for the games.

    I havent spotted much Anti-Americanism myself though all that tires me is the Pro-American 'we have a god given right to win everything and everyone else sucks attitude' and general over reaction (Did you see Phelps after the mens relay? I know hes happy but come on he looked like he was having a seizure, or auditioning for a Dragonball movie) But i guess it depends on who's pictures you are seeing. Katie Hoff for example was the only Silver Medalist ive seen sulking and pouting in the pool instead of congratulating the winner and you could see on the lap of honour it was 'ooh a Camera , Camera gone '.
    Since she went trying to emulate Phelps though saying 'I have 6 races, im getting 6 Gold' i guess shes kinda annoyed to see all that backfire in her face.

    If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.
