I just want to say that I am proud of the good sportsmanship displayed by 
the Merkins in these NGs.  The profound lack of taunting and rubbing in of
noses due to our smashing success in the 2000 Olympics is heartwarming.
We all know that if the States had done poorly there would have been no end
to the jeers directed at us from the victors and non-victors alike.
The 2000 Sydney Olympics has proven that not only is the United States THE
GREATEST SPORTING NATION but that we are also THE GREATEST SPORTSMANSHIP
NATION.
Thank you all.
Thank you all very much.

Did you see the american runner who tuanted those behind him by giving a
hand wave indicating "come on, come on!"?

Did you see the canadian wrestler offer his handshake to the american who
angrilly brushed it off when the only thing he did was beat him at the
olympics?

You have got to be one of those head-in-the-sand Americans who thinks
there country does no wrong, it is the greatest, yadda, yadda.

Sure

...or the American water polo team whose first reaction to
being beaten was to accuse the other side of having cheated?

This would be more believable if the rest of the world, the United
States included, were not subjected to watching  so-called 'World Cup'
soccer matches and other such atrocities.

After scoring a goal (admittedly a very rare event, if weren't for those
moronic 'shoot-outs' they would still be playing the World Cup matches)
these effeminate little 'men' tear off their shirts, mug for the camera,
fall to their knees is some form of homoerotic masochistic celebration.
And this is all BEFORE they begin to hug and kiss one another.   The
part where the players stick their arms out and prance about pretending
to be an airplane is a nice touch as well.

Of course such displays of 'sportsmanship' in American Football,
Baseball or Basketball when have you at least penalized and possibly
suspended and fined.  Sports are changing in the States.  Because the
NHL (National Hockey League) has added so many Europeans the 'diving
rule' has been created.  It seems that these wonderful European athletes
have the habit of falling down and rolling around on the ice like they
have been shot in an attempt to draw a penalty.
