I'm just curious about something and don't really wanna start a(nother) Olympics thread.....

Who do you all root for? The USA in every single event? The cutest team?

Just wondering...

It is kinda judged by judges but there are 5 and three have to all push a button within a second of each other after a clean shot. Totally retarded. You can watch a guy get hit with clean shot after clean shot yet there is no movement in the points. Then other times a guy gets a point for hitting the other guy in the gloves. Drop the freakin headgear and make em fight till one gets KO'ed or quits. I guess that is extreme but this other version is pretty unwatchable.
