I would never apologize for wearing a mask to protect my lungs. Its insane for people to take offense to something that is a fact. The air pollution is horrible. They are even considering taking an additional million cars off the road after the millions they already took on top of the factories they shut down in the area. I don't see how this is insulting when they know the problem exists. It would be different if in the past there was a problem and now there isn't but thats not the case
so all olympians should wear masks when entering beijing?.....lol....the british took home the gold in cycling and these pathetic guys didnt even medal....but they did wear their mask
If they want to wear masks who are they hurting? They aren't hurting anyone except the obvious weak pride of the Chinese. Its a well known fact the air conditions there are horrible and thats why the government tried to hide it all by shutting down factories and banning the # of cars in the city.
First Sharon Stone, now the cyclists. So when the Americans going to learn to respect others? Must they wait a few more 911 attacks? I believe the masks are worn not so much because of air polution but because it is China.
So old money is alright? Or do you not know what you're saying at all? I swear all youtube comments are written by crappy chat bots. I know this one was.
LOL. an embarrassing and failed act of offense in disguise and subsequent apology...typical amateurish white trash tactic. White trash behave like terrible two's when theyre on the losing side, childish, petty, shameless little maggots. Sadly, americans from nuveau riche down to trailer bums, from the old to the young, have 'trash' littered into their genes. You cant help but feel amused by and sorry for these bottom feeding cockroaches. stupid white trash...lol
Wow. You must think pretty damn highly of yourself. You know, I've never actually seen anyone use the phrases "lol" and "nuveau riche" in the same paragraph. Very classy.
The air in Beijing is pretty bad, but the Chinese hosts are trying their best to clean it up. The cyclists could have worn their masks any other times and no one would care. Exiting the plane with them on while press is around is not being health-conscious, it is making a statement. These 4 idiots have just offended 1.3 billion people and what difference did it make except creating ill will between two countries and two people?
no. the chinese are the ones who think they are the center of the universe! the middle kingdom. extremely poor air pollution and sars have been facts! yes funny americans! but also yes--stupid chinese!
Props to the Athletes for taking a stance and having their own quiet protest. It's not about the air. it;s about the many things that wrong with China.
wow....your ignorance is astounding, I love bringing down the chinese people by bringing up things that have nothing to do with the Beijing Olympics, thanks for jumping on the bandwagon of ignorant hate. Keep hating you are surely making this world a better place.
This is exactly why Americans are so hated all around the world -- for our arrogance. Here the Chinese are being gracious hosts and these 4 idiots just slapped 1.3 billion of them on the face. Great way to build friendship! Congratulations, you arrogant asses!
Thank you for your understanding comment. Even as an American, I also believe that this gesture done by the American athletes is extremely rude. Sure, Beijing's air quality is probably worse than, say, LA's, but to arrive in a foreign country where the first thing you do is wear a face mask is bad manners and making an impolite statement. I hope everyone understands that not all Americans are this ignorant. What an embarrassment to our country.
They might as well have not participated in these Olympics if they're so worked up about the air quality in Beijing. Stupid, arrogant Americans...save our country some embarrassment. Geeze.
What a bunch of disrespectful Americans. Have they been to L.A? Obviously they are making a statement there. I didn't know there are smog inside an airport! Fucking retards, it was great that they were plaster all over the media, cuz they look like fools.
DAMN! Have they never been to California, Texas, New york???? HELLO you jackasses, they are acting like our sh*t don't stink in the US!! Dummies...who let them off the plane like that! I thought they had to be supervised!
Why did they come to Beijing if they are concerned with the air quality?
These fuckers had the right to not go....

Why do people even care. If china wants to complain; it proves a point that the air in china isn't the greatest.
What about the whole scars thing 3 years ago no one got bent out of shape for that. Just be glad they weren't wearing gas masks.
