It has become international sport to seek out someone to blame for failures others created by their actions or failures to act. Over the past few decades, blaming America has become sport only because the left here has done so from within, trying to establish as fact that “only” white men, created the evils of the world. Never mind the other evils, they were of no consequence.
It has come to pass that success is attacked by those whose levels of success are less significant. When systems fail, its always easier to find the one working at fault, rather than examine why theirs failed.
The challenges to the Chinese gymnasts age, came from many quarters, not just America. The questions were being asked even before the competition by almost every international news agency reporting from the Olympics. It was NOT America alone asking the IOC to investigate, and it was not JUST the gymnastics participants where this issue was raised.
Those who say, let them keep their metals, are the same folk who want us to ignore those sneaking into America or overstaying their legal pass. Seems many today think, “oh well its just a small law.” They fail to realize that once one is broken, it almost always leads to numerous additional & more severe laws being broken. Illegal aliens need work. They sneak in, then they obtain forged or stolen identity documents. They drive w/o licenses, and even when they have them, they drive w/o insurance. That means the insurance of the guy they hit pays for all the damages done.
Fourteen year olds are considerably more flexible than 16 year olds. That is why there is a rule. It cannot be fair if those with a specific advantage can participate. Plus, there are questions about the medical effects of gymnastic training on the bodies of young girls who get into it at very early ages.
To figure out who is genuine in this, ask the questions this way.
What should be done to an American gymnast who may be discovered to be an under age participant?
The answer is obvious, but how some answer may reveal their extreme partisan & unreasonable positions!
If its all America’s fault, then why aren’t we ruling the entire world? The world was a going brothel long before we Yanks showed up & the world was making its own messes with no help from us. So, attack anyone you want, but remember to hold back a significant amount of blame for yourselves!
