USA Sports exceptionalism

No doubt mods will want to put this into the slow moving sports section, but it is broader than that in my opinion.

In the World Swimming Championship Australia has won 13 gold medals, probably with more on the last day. The US has won four. The moronic US press has been using the total medal count (including silver and bronze) to show that the US is actually winning in this event. But what I find staggering is that US swimming officials are taking the same position.

Quote:

USA Swimming head coach Bob Bowman has refused to concede that Australia will top the medal tally at this year’s world swimming championships as an American broadcaster put its own spin on a poor meeting for a team normally considered the world’s best.
What a joke. Is the best NBA team (or any other for that matter) the one which makes the playoffs the most time, or the one which actually wins?

Grow up US. Sometimes you are not best at everything.
