I cannot believe ANYONE wants Paul Hamm to give back his gold medal!!!!!!!

Come on, did any of you actually watch the events, or are you just reading what those slimy journalists--who love a controversy--are saying??

Fact--South Korea did not protest the score until the next day. They lied and said they did.

Fact--South Korea originally went all weepy, complaining that Paul's score was too high and their guy who got the silver should have gotten the gold. Then they went searching for stuff to dig up, and found the scoring error on their third place guy, Yang.

Fact--you can't review videotapes to alter scores. This is what the South Koreans were trying to do. And since they did, then you have to notice that Yang's high bar score was .2 too high, since he was not deducted for an obvious error. Ok, give the guy the .10 on the scoring error, then take away the .2. Now we're all happy, and Yang gets moved down to 4th place.

Fact--if Paul Hamm were any nationality other than American, nobody would have made a stink. It's virulent anti-Americanism at play. We have Dumbo to thank for that, but I hate it because it affects some young kid who has practiced all his life and was so clearly the best all-around that night!
