Well, careless whisper I can still be proud of my heritage and love Greece and not condone what occurred in the Olympic Stadium, it is my right. If you think I belong in dictatorship because I don't condone booing then you must belong to a communist or fascist party. Just like those booing had a right to express their feelings I have a right to express mine, OK? And please read up what the Olympics are all about : peace, unity and Love certainly NOT hissing, fighting and booing. One of the main reasons I didn't like what occurred is because I love Greece and it bothers me when other countries speak negatively of her on the account of some people's idiotic actions, if you love Greece like you profess it should bother you too and express your concern how wrong it was instead of excusing it or attacking me. You're taking your anger out to the wrong person.
I can understand people being disappointed when their countryman doesn't win a medal or scores low, even though I didn't like what went on with the Hamm/Gymnastics scoring at least the expression of disappointment of the crowd was warrant to some extend since it happened in front of them but again when the judges mess up it's not the Athletes fault let's not forget that.
Yes, in the Olympic Stadium were other races too but I doubt any of them would chant for Kenteris name since some of them didn't even knew who he was, and again why would they boo? your theory makes no sense. Did you notice one of the racers who was non-American motioning and pleading to the crowd to settle down? Have you asked those athletes how they felt? You train your entire life for a gold medal or any medal and then to have a 10 minute booing delay it throws off your concentration and your focus. Again I'm referring to the 200 m race in the Olympic stadium not other events.
