A brand new poster child for pathetic athletes

2,324 261 August 6, 2012 at 09:47 AM in Debate


One of the worst examples of sportsmanship I've ever seen in my life.

Her coach should have smacked her upside the head.

I don't know the NBC commentator who jaw-jacked for 20 min before hand how Mrs Prissy Bitch was "so much better than everyone" else, but he should be fired immediately.

Not a shred of empathy for this over-privileged little sourpuss. What are you 9 years old? Try to remember this next time you fall flat on your ass: "gracious in victory, humble in defeat."

Totally. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) It's not like people go to Africa to hunt kudu and eat them or anything.

Thread created by someone complaining about the attitude of someone who can do something the OP could never do in a million years. Murrika.
Never questioned her ability or talent, only pointed out what a sore loser she was and how pathetic it made her look. If she's too internally distraught that she cannot even act within "normal" moral consequence in the situation, maybe she should have stepped off the podium and had a big, face-paint destroying, mascara-running sob and got it over with. I'd have no issue with that - in fact, if I was standing there I would have held her flowers for her. Big Grin

And if you think that hillbilly with the tricked out pellet gun is "hot," you's watchin the wrong sport...

She wasn't being a sore loser. She was disappointed in her performance, not pouting because she didn't win. You're basing your outrage on YOUR interpretation of her expression, not on what she actually said in the following interviews.

Speaking of sore losers...!

On Monday afternoon, the world of fencing got some unexpected attention due to a major controversy in the 2nd semi-final match of the Women's Individual Epee competition at the London Olympics, between Shin A Lam of South Korea and Britta Heidemann of Germany.
---------
The Koreans immediately decide to file a formal appeal. By rule, the appealing fencer must stay on the strip until the appeal is decided.

And so, Shin A Lam sits alone on the fencing strip, with 8,000 in attendance and tens of thousands more watching online, tears running freely down her cheek.

...for over 40 minutes.

It was pretty much the most heartwrenching thing I've seen. Not just in fencing, not just in sport, but ever.

The real jackasses are the gymnastic announcers for NBC. They had already said she will win the gold, there was no chance for anyone else to beat her.

Smug bastards.

Do you never get mad at yourself when you fark up something incredibly important? No? You handle everything with absolutely zero outward emotion?

Have some empathy for a young woman who just lost what was likely her only chance at an individual Olympic gold medal. She's more than allowed to be disappointed and upset with herself.

Do you also think that Jordan Wieber was pathetic for crying and being visibly upset when she ended up not being able to qualify for the all around finals?
