Mailn makes anti USA statements during the last quarter or so of the 2nd Charlotte MXGP MX1 moto as Tomac sweeps the 2nd moto going 1-1 (Malin says something to the effect of "great , now we'll never hear the end of it from this side of the Atlantic ).

He also calls "Hunter Lawrence for the win here in Florida!" very loudly at the MXGP in Jacksonville (as Lawrence does make a nice charge for the lead but then makes a small mistake and Hampshire wins the 2nd MX2 moto sweeping the event".

I have both of these on my DVR and am positive on the 2nd item - just watch the final 2 laps of the event and you will see / hear the clear anti USA bias. I'm not positive at what point and exactly what he says at the Charlotte MXGP when Tomac wins the 2nd moto sweeping the event but he def said something similar to what I wrote above.

I have never ever seen bias from the SX or MX TV crews in America. Sure Emig may give out excuses that the US just doesn't concentrate on Motocross as much these days but I've never heard him be anti Euro or pro US since I've been watching the races live since 2012. Even JT who must have had an awfully hard day today at Assen did not show US bias even when Justin Cooper won the MX2 race Saturday.

I guess I can see how Malin can be frustrated w/ the USA winning 20+ MXDN events since the early 80's to his country's single win in '94 and the bias comes thru, can't blame the poor guy b/c it must be rough with your country never winning the event when they are Motocross specialists (it would be like the US losing a SXDN all but once in the past 35+ yrs, that would leave anyone frustrated!). I hope Weege for example would never let those type of comments "slip" but it's only human...

Vital MX member Ray_MXS - do u want me when i get back from out of town to find the exact positions in the TV broadcast when Malin makes these clearly anti US / biased statements?

It's not a subjective item, his agenda is clearly on display at these two points that I noted.

Malin is the worst commentator in professional mx. He sounds like a golf commentator.

Dont get me wrong Im not a fan of American pageantry at the best of times, however it definitely has its place in commentating an exciting sport like mx... and Mailin dont have it
What ?? Malin is one an excellent commentator, knowledgable, reads the race well, knows all the riders, does an excellent job for doing it alone.

I love how you have kept these specific moments of one man supposedly showing bias against the USA on your DVR for over 2 years. That is one of the most tragic things I’ve ever heard Laughing

Emig dropped a major clanger when talking of Glen Coldenhoff as he was winning his 4th straight MXDN moto, " I can't remember anyone winning 4 straight moto's before!"Whistling
What the hell did Magoo do then in 1982 at Gaildorf and Wohlen ?Blush

Nice the way Emig is so willing to give such credit to another country;s rider (calling out how great of a spectacle it was for GC to win 4 MXDN's moto's in a row).

As I said earlier - I can't recall any bias from US telecasts against foreign riders. That's great when all nations have great riders & most can appreciate that & not show bias (which isn't EZ).

Magoo 37yrs ago must have been a similar spectacle though for GC to do it in today's environment is prob very remarkable. Not stoked to see the US not do as well as they did on Saturday today but nobody can deny GC his due as of the last couple years (not just a MXdN one hit wonder but also once healthy the end of the regular season he was sensational as well).

Go back and watch a MXoN broadcast from like 2012-2016, Emig used to be very biased towards the US but I think he has calmed it down a bit. I’ve never noticed any bias come from Malin, though.

I can recall Emig making excuses but not showing disdain when another country excelled or negativity towards another nation / riders.

Thanks for pointing out that Emig did so , that's very poor of him (I'm disappointed as a play by play or 2nd person in the booth should not show outright bias).

I’m not sure if he has ever shown any displeasure with another country succeeding but as you said he has made excuses for the US in the past. All fairness to him I believe he has gotten better in that regard.

yes, the US losing for nearly a decade now & looking back realizing that the USA barely even won in 2011 (if Pourcel doesn't get a flat tire in moto3 the US wouldn't have won 2011 either) - all of these losses for many years makes it finally acceptable to a degree in the minds of those used to the USA dominating for a few decades (80's 90s' 2000's) so those folks are less likely to make excuses once they accept that for the moment the tide has turned (sure the Euro's felt the same way when the US took over in the early 80's).

At least now to keep it interesting a few countries have shared wins since the USA's domination and lengthy winning streaks have ended with France, Germany, Belgium and now even the Netherlands landing their 1st ever title all four share wins vs one country dominating).
