So I see a lot of people are licking their wounds over the gold medal game by saying the US loss should be helpful in the cause of getting the sport back in the Olympics in 2016. Not sure if it really matters or not, but it could be possible.
What I'm wondering is how long before the conspiracy theorists suggest that Team USA laid down on purpose (or better yet was told to lay down on purpose) for that very reason? After all, there are those who believe FDR knew about Pearl Harbor and let it happen to bring us into the war, and those who believe the CIA and/or FBI knew about the Kennedy assassination but let it happen anyway to get him out of the way. The softball conspiracy is no more far-fetched than that.
I wonder if Oliver Stone is already optioning the movie rights?

Ken, as soon as I found out about the loss I sent a message out about it. Within the hour I had a response suggesting the "lay down.". So it's already happening. I don't think it's true. I hope it's not for a number of reasons including the fact that it would only taint Japan's accomplishment. Reply to this
