Replying to Why is Bode Getting Trashed?

I opened up my most recent Sports Illustrated magazine, and flipped to the Olympic section. What do I see, another Bode bashing piece of literature. And what do the authors at SI say about Lindsey Jacobellis’ fall, they play it off like it’s all good. They bash Bode for three whole pages, but come on, this is how he skis. Anyone who follows the US Ski Team knows Bode’s style, and he’s definitely skiing how he usually would. But when Lindsey Jacobellis throws a method when she has a gold medal within her grasp, everyone suddenly forgives her. Showboating isn’t rewarded in the Olympics, tricks aren’t rewarded in Snowboard Cross. Why is she doing that?

I know some of you will soon thrash me because this thread is about racing, whatev.
