That has to be one of the stupidest opinions I have ever heard.  It does not matter how poorly you play as long as you win, and the Americans won the game and were stripped of the gold by a VERY poor officiating crew and an abusive Olympic president.  Giving a team three illegal (as they were determined to be later) chances to win a game is completely ridiculous. Opinions like yours have no place here.  If someone wants to delete mine, be sure to delete this guy's also, thank you.
