That wasn't the only un-GP comment then.

The comment during a trial run of the parallel bars when a Chinese man sat on the bars Saturday night, was something to the effect of "That's something a 5-year old would do when learning the sport, not something a competitive athlete would do."
Ouch! Did you feel that burn??

That was a funny comment I will admit, but these announcers are not hosting MXC or ABC's Wipeout, & they are not just blogging about the event where comments like that are accepted, they are the official announcers of the prestigious Olympics & are the voice of an event which is an international event of unity & sport which is meant to bring the world together.
You would think they would keep the colorful comment to a minimum.
And I hope someone noticed that, & fired that guy.
