Reply #13: The reason why the American swimmer got the gold medal is because

[joeybee12]

the Americans protested right away, which is the proper way to do it. Within 20 minutes the issue was resolved, and he got the gold. Actually, they had disqualified him, so he wouldn't have even gotten the silver--he would have gotten nothing without the protest. I have no idea what story you're talking about--where the other swimmer gives away his gold. Did you just make this up?

As for Hamm, the media scum came up to him anbd asked him if he was going to give up his medal even before he knew what was going on with the SK protests. Give the kid a break.

No, Hamm doesn't represent the worst of America, it's the South Koreans who are liars and represent the worst of anti-Americanism.
