I SWEAR that the chinese team is full of robots
I watch them and they just seem so robotic and programmed
they are great athletes though. but its like they were made in a lab
that's because they were

Shut yo ol' sensitive ass up.
Get over it, tha nikka is done. Take your Lochte poster off the wall, clean your jizz off of it, and burn it. nikka is done
No one rated him in the first place. He's just a good swimmer, that's it.
Where have you been for the past 5 months, they've been touting him as the next best US swimmer. Trying to pit him against Phelps, him as the hardworking guy, and Phelps as the lazy, underachieving one.
Not to mention that he shouldn't have even been in the relay but the coach put him in there to boost the status of his new star swimmer. Grevers had the faster morning split, he should've been on there.
When is Phelps racing again? I haven't heard shyt about him since the first night?
Thats what they are supposed to do. Every Olympics they hype people into the stratosphere because really who the fukk is trying to watch a random ass 200m butterfly without there being hype around the event? NBC has done a wonder at transforming these events into must see tv, when truth be told we dont give 2 shyts about them. You think they are gonna make their money back by going into the games saying "Yeah we dont have any more Michael Phelps, but we do have some athletes that could win one race". NBC told you Lochte was the next Phelps because they wanted you tuned in at 8pm so them ratings would be high, and guess what, you fell for it.
Also why trash Lochte when the leadoff leg, Adrian, actually swam the slowest split? Absolutely nobody is mentioning that, because thats not the story. That doesnt get viewers.
NBC hasn't done anything to make me want to watch any of these events, it's the Olympics. People are going to watch and stars will organically emerge without a network trying to force someone down your throat. And NBC isn't even the main source that's touting Lochte. Lochte winning the World's did a lot of that for himself. Then him calling out the training habits of Phelps did it even more. This has veryyyy little to do with NBC marketing Lochte. This has been in the making. He's been in Gillete, AT&T and Gatorade commercials for a minute.
As far as why Lochte is being trashed instead of Adrian? Seriously? Each swimmer on a relay team has a job, and Adrian's is to just maintain the pace and not get too far behind for those behind him, esp. since he's great at the breaststroke. As an anchor, Lochte is supposed to be the FASTEST. He even had a second advantage. Why put this dude as the anchor when he himself said that he doesn't swim the 100m??
Grevers has a better 100m time, he should've been in there, and the fact that Lochte's personal coach made the decision to put him as the anchor makes it very questionable and open for insult.
Stars rarely organically grow through watching the events. They have the personal interest stories written weeks in advance. They push them shyts constantly. I know everything about each of the male gymnastic participants and from what i saw on the mat them dudes did not deserve the star treatment.
Tyler Clary was the one who went in on Phelps not training hard.
I'll agree on the personal interest stories, I just think truly, the biggest stars/stories happen as a result of what they actually do in competition, not what's projected of them. Sob stories don't mean shyt to me if you aren't producing.
Like how they want to pump up Jordyn Wieber, but Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman may arise as the actual stars for Team USA.
Good call on Clary too. My mistake.
Cats really have no perspective. You win a gold medal you arent "trash". Hell you win a bronze medal and you arent "trash".
You sit here and let the American media fool you into thinking USA is the only country fielding good athletes in these events. You think France, Australia, Japan, China, etc...dont have pools in their country?
