I have had enough of this Bela Karolyi. NBC should get rid of this utterly awful loudmouth as an analyst for gymnastics. Worse, it is a clear case of "media conflict of interest" for NBC to pay and hire Bella Karolyi to analyze the gymnastics competition while his wife is a coordinator of the U.S. female gymnastics team. If Karolyi is not an exceedingly partisan "gungadin" for Team USA, who is ?
And NBC is irresponsibly paying Karolyi, Mr. "Bruto" to analyze the gymnastics competition. Talk about a free but recklessly irresponsible press !
Consider what this surly "sourgrapes" said about China's gymnasts. Click on the link below:

Karolyi is not Bella. He is Bruto. Worse, He is being used by the White Mainstream news media as an "attack dog" to demonize and diminish China's gymnasts ar each turn of these Beijing competitions in gymnastics.
I can emphathize with the major hurt suffered by Liu Xiang, after he pulled out from the hurdling track race after a recurrent achilles heel injury. It must have been an excruciating loss by Liu, the 24-year old whose weight on his shoulders has been enormous.
But to look at this sick old man who used to coach Nadia Comanici Mary Lou Retton to Olympics Gold in gymnastics contantly carp at the scoring of the gymnastics competition, without any basis or justification, and being adroitly used by the biased Western mainstream news media, including NBC sports, extremely jealous about the erosion of their sports icons in the gymnastics floor, ceding to a much younger Chinese team in Gold, being given a hugh platform by NBC to hurl his reckless invectives on TV, this is way too much.
Get off it, Bruto Karolyi; you are not Bela. But Bruto.
First, he attacked the Chinese female gymnastics team of being under the age of 16, and should have been disqualified; then, he goes around and unilterally scored in favor of the U.S. female gymnasts, as the ones deserving of the team Gold.
Now, he has blatantly and recklessly attacked alleged "bad" and "biased" judging on the part of Olympics judges of unfairly "robbing" U.S. female gymnast team captain Lydia Sacramone for placing fourth on the vault, losing out 3rd to China's Cheng Fei.

Talk about insolence and reckless irresponsibility.
And NBC is paying this brute to be an analyst on the air. Isn't the Western News Media socially responsible and unbiased ?
Gimme a break,. dude !
