I was watching television with my family, and suddenly one US reporter said, " we have again proved the world that we are the best sporting nation ". All of my family burst into  laughter after hearing that.

I know so far with 30 golds US are very far behind China with 46. World knows it.  So why is there a constant effort by US media to prove that they are number one sporting nation in the world. Don't make laughing stock out of yourself and accept the fact that China are the new superpower in sports.

I went through few American websites, and found that in every website they have put US on top , purely because they have won more medals ( lot of bronzes and silvers).

I have just one advice, being second is not mean achievement. That is very commendable performance. But try to prove you are still in top is ludicrous .  Every American media suffers from this egocentric disease. 

Funny thing is I went to the past olympics medals table on the archive and found out they have sorted out according  to the total number of gold medals won.  So why in this olympic they have decided to sort it out by the total number of medals won.

Don't be surprised from the next olympics if they sort out the medals based on the number of medals won in swimming pool.  Because in their most fancied athletics  they have been already been struck by lightning Bolt.

The bottom line is, no_quiero is a moron. I have been watching his threads. He writes about football sucking, Phelps sucking and now, he says US is pathetic. The way I see it bro, you are pathetic, trying to bash US so you can feel good about living in the UK. If you don't like what the US media is showing, watch your media, watch BBC. Use some crappy Nepali forums from UK, to spread your hate. I will tell you what sucks, UK sucks. Freaking ass kissers. We love USA here and we don't care what the media shows. If you don't like it, FU(K OFF!!!

ss74k. Marion jones was my fovourite player when she played and I don't know if i would have supported her now. So i find hard to comment on her. She cheated the game. I am not denying the fact. And she was rightly disqualified. My point was not all players are good role models.    But when i said her ability cannot be questioned because she have won world championship not once , not twice but thrice that too without steroids.

Evilgod, when people fails to make their point they come up with personal attack. Anyway i wont call any of you moron. If you scroll the page you will see quite a few are with what i have wrote. If you dont agree you are feel to do so. But please act little nicer. And don't surmise where the people are. If you are guessing by clicking on the nick, lol then you are intelligent by guessing my two year old nick.

I saw on ESPN sportsline ( an american media) that put china on top because of gold. Telegraph itself accused CNN for medal table spin.

China's domination of the medals table at these Games cannot be denied... or can it? The US press have found a way that suggests America still is best.

The home nation is top of the International Olympic Committee’s medal table and is widely viewed as the highest performing nation of these Games – but not in the United States.

In the USA, newspapers have been reporting the table in terms of totals medal won, rather than by the number of golds as the IOC does. This method moves the States to the top.

Critics accuse the US media of cynically manipulating the figures to keep the USA team at the top of the table.

The debate has been fuelled by this USA Today medal table from the 2004 Olympics, which shows the countries ranked by gold medals instead.

Rahulvai great said bro...........

YET  I do get aggravated by the words Used by sports teams here in USA and self proclaiming themselves as world champions on every major event.s LOL.........There are undoubtly good players here in USA and I cheer for them .....but CHINA HAS MADE US ALL ASIANS PROUD. and recently US has filed a complaint against the gold medal winning womens Gymnastic team for underage players. And they could be right........some of them were too tiny but we asians are not like westerners who look tall big and  grown up in 16 yrs old......I look at my 16 yrs old pic and my class mates then.................we were all tiny and loked like small kids...........LOL that was class 10 and those time I FELT I WAS INVINCIBLE ALL GROWN UP LOL

no_quiero I agree with you, table should be ranked by total gold medal not the total no. of medals. But the way you wrote, seem you don't like US.

Only because

I believe either you're out of status and can't get reinstated or you have been denied US visa in Nepal 4-5 times no hope . Chill out bro.

Dude is from UK.

The bottom line is "From sports to politics US doesn't wanna lose anything due to its Imperialistic behaviour and so does their media" and this is not unusual. The most amazing is like "naya jogi le dherai kharani dhaschha", many nepricanes here in sajha are showing their too much patriotism towards US. I dont wonder because many of them have learnt Lalu Yadav style of making people obedient by saying "jasko nun khanu usko taali bajaunu". Just grow up to tell the truth, dudes.

no quiero-- u really dont know Sh**t so i would even give an opinion if i were u. why do u think girls cant curse. especially if its ppl like u jun thal ma bhat khayo thesmai gu grane

MadDog bro,

It has been found that one gal is actually 14 years old as per her citizenship card but she is 16 as per passport. so looks something fishy goin on.....they are chinese....got wot I mean!

Stat,
Here is the truth for your retarded head. No one here said anything about what the US media is doing is right, of course it is wrong and all of them are not doing it. But, there is nothing you losers can do about it. US rules. What can you do is pucker up and kiss "nepricanes" ass.

randi ko choro, ho muji mero bau le banako ho. ta muji lai k lagyo tero aama le lad0 chusera, khutta fattara banako ho? kando ko mayal muji. US bigreko bhaye ta muji ahile jealous bhayera basdaina this randi ko choro. Tero aama lai gayera sodh, kati jana ko lad0 chiraunu paryo aama timro putee ma malai janmauna bhanera. ani muji tyesko answer liera masanga kura garna aaija.

Double post. Once was enough.
:D

तर्क आफ्नो आफ्नो हो, कुन आँखाले कसरी हेर्न चाहेको छ ।
70's ko Indo - china यूध्य मा भारतीय रेडियो ले " हमरी सेना भहादुरिके साथ पिछे हट रहा है " भनी फलाकेको थियो रे । You thing somethig wrong with American media? Nothing. They are doing business and a very profitable business.

तेस्तै "आधा गिलास पानी कि आधा भरी पानी ", म भन्छु , आफ्नो आफ्नो हेराइ मा भर पर्छ ।

.

Sathi ho, it would be better if your arguments are only relevant to the topic.  Even IOC have clearly mentioned that the medals table should be sorted out in the basis of Gold medals. So all your effort seems futile.

@ Trilochana ,  I wasnt expecting any kind words from you. Still I won't go on attacking you  verbally.


And one point,  if there is something wrong with Nepal we should dare to say it wrong rather than trying to justify it in the name of patriotism.

Dude, be creative. Don't reply my post to me.

Well I admit that most of the world's countries Rank by gold medal first but that does not in any way justify your notion that now the whole country is a 'pathetic looser'. I have disagreements with US media in the past and probably will always have but that does not grant me the license to call everyone a pathetic loser. I mean ofcourse, I know that you have the freedom to express your views, but when you come back and say be respectful and all that to people who are brawling here because of your anti-american comments, it becomes perfectly obvious that thats the road you have chosen to take your views to, which is to be biased towards US. So don't show off here saying you are all that down the middle and calling spade a spade kinda fella. You are NOT.

Yes, they might have obviously been baised towards their country by showing the medal tally the wrong way than what is supposed to. You can put forth that view being respectful, as you have claimed here. But you did not in any way prove with your very title of this thread, that anyone can have any kind of respectful arguments/disagreements with you.

 

jeez... this futile discussion is still on? we surely must have plenty of time in our hands hahahaha

no_quiero has a point. the medal tally should be sorted according to the number of gold medals won and not the total. the media should also be fair and transparent as well -- no question about that too. but it's been a trend that we've been seeing in all major (or minor) sporting events all across the globe that media tend to have bias towards their team and sports-stars. it's more true in the case of local media and it's not just the US media! hence accusing the US media solely and calling them pathetic losers would be, IMO, not being able to totally understand how media, in general, work during important sporting events.

oh yeah and talking about pathetic losers; for having discussed this petty topic for hours and still keeping it on, we all, including my dear friend no_quiero, are pathetic losers in our own rights, if you ask me hahahahahaha

Wow...pretty amazing.
Nepali people criticizing (or whatever you want to call it) others as always. We see lice on someone's head but we cannot see the axe stuck on OUR head.
How many medal do we have......let's see......NADA ......000000000000000000
Get a job, please.

Well, It's upto a country's own media to shape up things so that they can hike up the up TV ratings and keep up the nationalistic feelings intact. But don't you guys think America should give credit where it's due? Me and my friends were watching and rooting for the US volleyball team yesterday as they played Russia and we landed up the with same discussion that's going on in here... 

Damn, damn damn lemme get back to Cowboys - Texans pre-season game where a Houston Texan seems to have been fatally injured...damn!
