Suspended for six months over criticizing another Olympic team’s tactics in the heat of the moment following a big game?

“I think we showed a lot of heart. We came back from a goal down. I’m very proud of this team,” she said. “But I also think we played a bunch of cowards. The best team did not win today. I strongly believe that.”

That deserves a six month suspension? You’ve got to be kidding me.

Well, that confirms something I’ve always felt... that soccer should never again be called ‘football.’ Football’s a real sport! In football, someone calling the other team a bunch of cowards wouldn’t even make the news. Heck, football players punching each other out after a game would barely make the news. And in the Legends Football League the women are brutal, are tough as nails with aggression and hyperbole ruling the day, and happen to look freakin’ terrific in their uniforms. A real man's and woman's sport!

I would like to say to Conan O`Brian that he is an unbelievable a-hole, racist, bigot and any other offensive word there is.
Yes, Serbia lost to the USA in the men`s basketball final, yes, it was a big difference, but there is no shame in losing to the best team on the world. We still got silver, that for us, a nation of only 7 million people, shines like gold.
But him saying:
"Serbia -You tried ethnic cleansing; how about cleaning your armpits?"

is the lowest of the low, the jerk can simply eff of and die.

That was a pretty nasty attempt at a joke.

But putting that aside, Serbia did great in the basketball tournament. I watched a couple of their games before the gold medal game and they looked good. They play the US well the first time around. I saw Vlade Divac in the stands and he still looks like he could play. I enjoyed watching Vlade during his NBA career. He's an awesome guy.

Thanks for the kind words.
Yeah, the first game was even pretty close, but in the finals...nothing and nobody could have stopped Kevin Durrant.
One of those awesome days for a player and it was at the right time.
Yes, Vlade was a great player, the Sacramento Kings team season 2001/2002 should have won the NBA, but...the judges are sometimes just, well....lets say biased.
