The BS will never end...

Here's some more good ol' American media at work for the Olympics. They'll never put it to rest...how sad it is...The U.S. didn't win the Gold Medal count...so, Gold Medals are not at important as Overall Medal count (Ye-ah RR-ight!!!)  Next Olympics, let's see what happens when the U.S. doesn't lead in any medal counts...or better, let's see them push that winning the Bronze is THE important standard...or maybe it's the number of country participants...why can't the U.S. see the light that it's not the leader in EVERYTHING!!!

From NBC site:

The U.S. team won the overall medal count, with 110.

That surpassed the total from the Barcelona Games, 108, which had been the most-ever won by a U.S. team at a non-boycotted Olympics.

The U.S. gold-medal total, 36, matched the American count from Athens in 2004.

The way Olympic medals work, a medal for a team sport - such as the golds each of the men on the volleyball team was awarded Sunday - counts as just one.

If, instead, the medals awarded to each individual are counted, the totals underscore the American commitment to team sports. They read like this:

Americans: 315 medals.

Chinese: 186.
