Recent edits seem to downplay the US women's gold in soccer/football, despite the fact that it seems this site should trumpet every accomplishment by Americans. It seems to imply that Canada should have beat the US in the semifinals, despite the fact that Conservapedia earlier predicted that Canada should underperform in Olympics because of socialism and same sex marriage. Likewise Japan, which should underperform by this site's standards, as it's been ranked [http://www.infobarrel.com/25_Most_Atheist_Countries_in_the_World the #5 most atheist country in the world]. Furthermore, this idea that the US advanced unfairly seems to contradict the idea that the Olympics is a prime example of the best of the public, in which winners are decided by pure skill and performance alone, and not by some committee of so-called "experts". Are the Olympic games not an example of the best of the public after all? [[User:PortlyMort|PortlyMort]] 00:12, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

:Interesting points, but:
 +
*this site does not unthinkingly cheer for [[Team USA]]; and
 +
*there is nothing wrong without pointing out how a referee imposed an almost unheard of penalty against the [[Canadian]] women's soccer team, which enabled the American team to advance.

None of this changes our support of the [[best of the public]].--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 20:39, 19 August 2012 (EDT)
