Hey sf, can you give an opinion on this.
I have watched tons of these games. NBC was falling over itself hoping to have the US booed at the opening ceremonies. It didn't happen. If the US was being booed (or whistled as they state it here) NBC would be reporting it up one side and down the other.
H*lls Bells! half the venues weren't even filled until this week. The Greeks were on some kind of week long holiday. Either this person is overly sensitive or just hoping the world hates us.
We are in competition after all! Like it or not the USA is leading the medal count. Someone has hurt feelings.

Is it really any different than the NCAA tournament when a Number One seed is being challenged by some 11th or 12th seed? Everyone roots for the underdog, especially when it is against a perennial power.

I heard a report on the morning of the 16th and posted regarding it, that the Americans were surprised by the warm reception they were getting.
If the "bassetbawl" team was being booed it was by me for fielding a collection of "thug-nasty" prima donnas with no concept of team play.
And for that matter Iverson has more tattoos than there are people in the stands.
