Poor, degrading excuses

We are witnesses of a mammoth Olympic and the Swedish athletes are about to do their worst since…a long time.
And anywhere I read (only Swedish sites of course, we are not as popular as we love to think) everyone is just complaining and making excuses.
A sailor, let’s call him “Mygren”, was “out-maneuvered” by the upcoming gold medalist and was so upset he didn’t know what to do but at least knew he was “surely never to get back on a boat again”. And when asked if he’d do the same maneuver as the winner, he mumbled, “I don’t know, it’s hard to say…”
The much better Norwegians trounced, what we can call “Swedish women handball team”, and what are the headlines; “fucking cheaters, they ‘dive’ on the court”.
And this goes on.
We haven’t won gold but are already champs in complaining and making embarrassing, sorry, lame excuses and blame their faults on everyone else but themselves – hey, retard, you’re representing Sweden, not just your shattered ego.
Of course it was the wind and the other guys desire for winning (“Mygren” was the only real contender for gold) that made you fail, and if some girls had played better, instead of just complaining, it might just have been you who’d play in the semifinal instead of the team who fair and square beat you by scoring more points.
But that’s not the funniest, no the funniest is actually the general sport coverage from Sweden, and “our sports” in particular.
Sméagol swapped her sport to something she sucks in and now no one remembers her previous sport* at all.
But it was amazing how well Swedish news made us think that her game was actually of common interest and made us believe people thought of her as a real athlete.

* Because it’s not an actual sport and no one cares about it, but it let some overgrown kids and old Russian’s be average at much, who’d suck in specific fields.
