Because if you assign 3 points for gold, 2 for silver and 1 point for bronze,
then the crybaby yanks lost to china, and that is unacceptable to the American
chauvinist, patriotic, jingoist, dogmatic, nationalistic media. Americans can
not accept that they are on their way down, and no longer first in everything.
They whine because they can't prove the Chinese gymnists lied about their age.
Who cares what age they are; that is an arbitrary rule that should be
eliminated. I bow down to the Chinese volleyball girls, and all the other
champions that dominated this Olympics. If it wasn't for Phelps (aided by
American society's peculiar syndrome of ADHD) America would have done even more
poorly.
