During the National Anthem for the men's relay, shouldn't they of had the camera on the guy who made up ground in the anchor leg? Guy flew home for that Gold, and it's pretty poor journalism to keep showing Phelps during the National Anthem of that particular awards ceremony. They fkd that up. Even if the guy was being boring or unattractive(in their opinion,) I think he still deserved that time on camera. They should make a public apology to that guy. The other 3 guys combined for what was gunna be the expected Silver Medal(they gave him a deficit.) He made up that deficit on the best. That should of been about him. I guarantee you if he inherited a lead of that amount, then he would be blamed if he lost that lead. The 1st three Americans would have been said to have put forth Gold worthy efforts, and he would have been said to have put up a lesser effort than them(I feel the opposite took place here.) I know it's supposed to be about the team, but if the camera is gunna be on somebody during the National Anthem, then it should of been him. The other 3 did what was expected(combined for 2nd place going into the final leg.)
