First off Bob Costas needs to shut the hell up. ESPN needs to shut the hell up. Every person in the bias sports media who has criticize Usain Bolt during these Olympics for "showboating" needs to shut the hell up.
Why is when Americans celebrate aka "showboating" after victories (see the Michael Phelps after the relay race) they are just showing "emotion" but when Bolt who has crushed his opponents has done it, it is "disrespectful" to the games?
Nothing Bolt has done has been disrespectful or any different than the many American athletes have done during these games. You want to shut Bolt up then beat him and that isn't happening.
I never thought Michael Johnson's 200 meter record would be broken in my lifetime but Bolt did it going away. He is the first sprinter since Carl Lewis to pull off double gold in the 200 and 100. He is the first sprinter ever in the history of the Olympics games to break the world record in the 200 and 100. Let that sink in for a minute.
He should be as celebrate as much as Michael Phelps but because of the super American bias and the perception that he is nothing more than a glorified Chad Johnson it will be put on the back burner. Even after these tremendous feats look at the last line of the story on ESPN.com
"The performance marked Bolt as one of the breakthrough stars of these Summer Games, coming on the heels of his victory in the 100 Saturday night. He bettered his own world record in that race by winning in 9.69 seconds -- despite slowing down over the final 20 meters to showboat."
Give me a break. Get off your high horse and realize you are watching greatness and just because it isn't draped in red white and blue and for that matter isn't blond with blue eyes doesn't make it any less of an accomplishment. Stop being hypocrites, stop being bias and stop being haters.
Preach littal preach
lol at the pic of Bolt
we are just doing our jobs
The real question that needs to be asked of the biased media is the wack azz media coverage of these 100 and 200m races. I thought I could watch the race live or at least online and all I got was motherf'n table tennis and volleyball. NBC wants to sell storylines to the country. When their target audience is not involved in a sport such as sprinting, you know how that goes. We got to read the results on the net, then watch the BS "replay" tonight. My next time watching NBC is when USA going for that gold on Sunday.
Congrads Bolt....not your fault that you leaving bamas in the dust.
Gstyle you are exactly right besides the swimming NBC coverage has been garbage
Im in Germany on a military base and the coverage that I have seen has sucked. Horseback riding? Table Tennis? They turned a student union game into an olympic event? Im starting the BSO letter of intent for Olympic Spades for the 2012 games in London.
He's using something. No way those records will stick.
I misremembered if Mr. Bolt was using human growth homormones
Bolt, amazing athlete and stunning performances!
When you say 'bias media,' do you mean 'biased media?'
