Poor Sport

I am laughing at the loser wrestler from Sweden. He gets the bronze medal and throws a temper tantrum during the ceremony and throws his medal down on the ground. Is this not an embarassment for Sweden? We, as southerner's, are all saying "bless his heart, his momma didn't raise him right." After throwing the medal down, he harasses the judges and gets in their face...Yeah, that's gonna help you. His reasoning behind it, I came to the Olympics to get the gold, not the bronze. Well, duh. He should have fought harder, should have worked harder and been ready to be a real winner. To get to go to the olympics itself should be an honor. You should be a roll model for future generations. If he is remembered at all for his outburst, it won't be as an Olympian but as a loser and a lousy sport who couldn't control his temper. I think Sweden ought to banish him from his sport and have everyone who comes in contact with him point a finger and say, shame, shame for at least a year. Sweden, his Momma, and all of us who watch should be ashamed of and for him.
