But, they'll get nothing.

I wish snowboarders would just boycott the Olympics. The Olympics want them there because that's what people want to see, but they don't really want them there. They want them to compete and then disappear so they can highlight the "traditional" sports that they want to push.

He furthered the world's view that all Americans actually behave like this. He's a representer of a country. He should behaving more respectfully, not like white trash.

The IOC to kick him out of Vancouver? Pretty good punishment in my opinion. Knock 'em hard the first time so other stupid people won't follow in his footsteps, and he won't do it again.
