Kanye West and Taylor Swift got in a lovely feud this summer to entertain you a little bit during your stupid internship. But in the end all we really learned is that they both have too much money and we need to get back to this shitshow election. Show Less

In 2012 it was fun to talk about Ryan Lochte being the dullest bulb in the pool, but in 2016 his strange hairstyle wasn't what we cared about. He lied about being robbed in Rio and it just made us Americans look even more entitled and stupid on a global level than this election already had. Show Less

It's the heat of the moment and announcers are excited, and they are on national television. They can't be held accountable if they say something that some people don't agree with. I mean, when was the last time you said something you immediately wished you could take back? Show Less

These are professionals and should be held to the same standards as everyone else. It's a part of their job to be cognizant of their audience. Just like anyone else they are expected to perform their job to the best of their abilities and be held responsible if they mess up. Show Less

Words can't be taken back, and when your audience is as large as it is for the olympics, extra care should be taken.

na way the usa are just testing the water to see what they can get away with, there are allegations of doping all over the world and in the USA itself, this is another way of poking a stick at russia, and just another way to shine a negative media light on russia

Russell Fisher

No foreign entanglements!!!

Bruce Tanner

Hell No. Who died and made the Western Imperium G*d? Where TF does Ameristan get jurisdiction over the whole freekin' World? Acceding to U.S. oppression creates a situation that is orders of magnitude worse than the "evils" of doping.

Erik Wiley

For the same reason that Hannibal Lector should not be in charge of a "Meat Department"...there is simply too much opportunity for disgusting things to happen to innocent people.

Muhammad Abbass

The question is ridiculous on any level. What has it got to do with the USA what goes on outside it's own borders or any historical norm? USA as adjudicator on honesty and against cheating let alone doping in sports? Fox for henhouse guard anyone? USA as a nation of laws and justice? LOL
