I'm pretty sure none of us will take offense, we hate our announcers too.
TBH in this age of Political correctness I actually enjoy the announcers telling it like it is. Now he may have gone overboard bringing it up over and over again but her not a getting at least a split-gold medal is tilting.
Pretty ricidulous that some judges found 3tenths more wrong with here routine than the Chinese girl.
The announcer brought up one really good point, trying to be fair the IOC does not allow any judge to sit on the panel if a competitor from the country is in the event. He said that because of this the judges tend to be nowhere near as good because they haven't seen competitor's like those from Romania, US, China, Russia their entire lives. Instead the judges were from South Africa, Australia, etc... places who never win olympic medals. Just food for thought. I always complain watching basketball/football because the announcers never ever call out the officials, so I'm not going to complain when they finally do.
