    I for one am embarrassed that our own news media made such a big deal about the Canadian figure skating couple getting a silver medal, then paid little attention to the Russian Hockey teams complaints in their game against the U.S.

    For crying out loud, why didn't the ref check the instant replay tape on a no goal call against the Russians when the puck apparently tap danced along the goalie line.

    Considering the heightened awareness to judging decision, the completely ethical and correct move would have been to check the instant replay.

    How arrogant of the ref not to check, and suspicious.

    alex alex alex...

    and i thought australians took their sport seriously!

    at the end of the day, it's just a game.

    True it may be the principle behind it but ...it's just a game.

    If you went to a Rock Concert, and the amplification system cut out every few words, would you say "that's okay, it's just a song"?

    post in this thread.
    i don't really care to.

    however, what has prompted me to post...
    the humorous subject line.
    (U.S. News Media Screws up and Reveals a Glaring Inconsistency)

    tell me, alex...is this an epiphany for you? wink
