Is Bush to blame for US softball losing to Japan in the Gold medal round?????????????
Anti-Americanism was around long before President Bush.
Hopefully it will be around for a long, long time.
thats freaking hilarious. these people have really lost their minds.
SI lost me at the global warming issue.
What could help softball in the future is IF Chicago gets the games in 2016.
Selena Roberts bashed Duke’s Coach K a few years ago for showing his politics:

What are liberals going to do when Bush is no longer in office? Who will they have to blame?
The Olympic games do not deserve the attention and importance they are given.
When they started in the steamship age in 1896, one great sporting meet every four years was all the world could manage.
Now there is a world championship in almost every sport every year. The Olympic games are no longer needed, and it would be very good if they simply went away!
Oh, I’m going to be so ill! Is there nothing that arrogant little sh*thead can’t do (other than telling the truth)?
Or so said the commentators the other night.
Cosmopolitan does a better job of covering sports than Sports Illustrated does.
This is ridiculous...I don’t think “hate” for Prez Bush has anything to do with IOC voting to get rid of baseball and softball.
The problem? Europeans are not interested in baseball and softball...I am not sure when that would change anytime soon. Only ONE European nation fielded both baseball and softball teams this time: Netherlands. I don’t think French, Germans, Spanish, and British want to keep the sports in which they have zero chance of winning a medal.
How about African nations? Like Europeans, they don’t care about baseball and softball. European IOC and African IOC members agree on that...
I am also suspecting that IOC is reluctant to make the host nations to build baseball and softball stadiums...
London will host the next Olympics...I am thinking that British government is happy that it doesn’t have to spend money on building baseball and softball stadiums. What would British do with baseball and softball stadiums after Olympics?
What if Brazil hosts the Olympics after London? What would Brazilian government think about building baseball and softball stadiums?
BMX biking as an Olympic sport? I think softball and baseball are more of sport than that...
