Stupid Americans

"I've never seen a fan in Tour de France spit at a rider. The guy in the photo in orange is obviously Dutch, giving Lance the finger, but spitting at riders is just American over exaggeration trying to inflame the situation."

"He's probably asking Lance if he allegedly had 1 or 2 shots of EPO that morning???"

So you were completely, totally, 100% wrong in your first post when you accused Americans of "overexaggeration" trying to "inflame the situation". Then you show you don't have the character to admit you were wrong. Then you try to shift the focus from your ridiculous and ignorant mistake by accusing Lance Armstrong, a great American champion, of using performance enhancing drugs.

You sir are a disgusting human being.

Every nation has it's share of assholes, USA included. I think that Americans tend to be more rabidly patriotic and jingoistic than other countries, based on what I've seen in my travels. As for the booing of Pourcel at Steel City, it must have been pretty bad, because Davey mentioned it last night at the banquet and even felt the need to apologize to Pourcel on behalf of real American fans.



I didn't see any Honda team members rejoicing over Pourcel crashing. In fact I was watching the live feed with Trey's mother when Trey crashed just after passing CP, and she was crushed, but held up well, considering. When Pourcel was shown sitting there a few minutes later you could tell she felt badly for him. I told her "Congratulations, but I know that's not how Trey wanted to win it", and she said thanks and we talked a little about it.



Many of you are so wrapped up in your isolationist views that you forget things, like the fact that Mitch does the motor mods for the Geico team, also. I hung out at the Pro Circuit rig for a bit between motos, talking to Rattray and EJ, and Mitch was clearly bummed, as he should be. I also hung out at the Geico Honda rig for a bit, and there was no celebrating going on of any kind. It seemed like most of the focus was on getting Wharton's bike rideable and on how he was doing. Business as usual.



I hope no American fans do anything too embarrassing at the MXoN and I hope the announcing team can keep their obvious preference to a minimum...chanting "USA, USA" by the announcer is inappropriate, in my opinion.

I think Rob was just kidding around.

He is a good guy and huge fan of American Moto and also Team USA.
Have you ever seen some of the tribute paintings he has done for/of American riders?

Check out this one of RV.
"For month’s after the 2007 Motocross of Nations at Budds Creek, I had this image in my head I wanted to get down on canvas to capture the fantastic way Ryan Villopoto rode that day. Finally over Christmas 2008 I was able to recreate what I wanted."


Or this one he presented to Decoster.

Many tributes on there to American riders/racers.

Thanks for the moderation Fast Eddy. I take back that comment about Rob. One episode or misunderstanding does not a whole person make, obviously, and he seems like a good one.

I know the history of the war. Have read many books about it...........You need to do a little more reading if you think the allies, minus America could have handled Hitler as well as the Japanese.

And no, I didn't fight in the war, but most of us in this country have family that did.

Hell, isn't it Spain where they used to close everything down mid day and take a nap?

There are many people in this country that simply get shit done.......at whatever cost. You don't see that in some other places of the world.

Hey JB19 guess what. Former Marine officer here. Father was one also. My oldest uncle was a platoon sergeant and silver star winner who was killed on Iwo Jima--about which I wrote a 23 page paper during my senior year in college--while getting a minor in history, which also entailed taking an entire year of U.S. military history. This, of course does not include the 6 months I spent in the USMC Basic Officer Course or the 3 months in Officer Candidate School etc, etc. etc.

But hey, I hear you've read many books about the war.

I did not say that the allies could have handled Hitler without the U.S. Look above. What I said was ultimately it was an allied effort that won the war, which it was. That fact does not diminish the U.S. contribution, nor did I say that it did.
