I'm sorry, but I am disgusted by the games coverage by channel 9, The indian shooter who won 5 gold mendals wasn't even covered and Scotlands best female swimmer wins gold and didnt get a shot onscreen because Australia got silver...... now I live here and wholly embrace all the aussie values but this is pathetic.
it seems that more than a few Aussies share my opinion judging by the points of view programme on TV just now. I know that Australia is a force to be reckoned with in sport but the lack of recognition of some other nations is frankly appauling. God forbid we become a nation like the US where we live in a little bubble and forget what happens with the rest of the world. I'm very disappointed. Is this an unfair accusation? I know I am asking an Australian forum but "knowing" the open-minded manner of many of the members here, I thought I'd see what you guys think. I am Scottish (obviously!) and we are not a nation renowned for our sporting prowess but I was gutted that we got so little recognition for our small victories in what is a very important sport for Australia. Am I waxing lyrical or just being fair?  :
