      And bowing to political pressure.

      Well we can do pressure also.

        Do you even hear yourself? “Bowing to political pressure” - ah yes, the mighty political pressure of the Romanian Gymnastics Federation. Also following up with a threat. You are unhinged at this point!

      I’m so glad most US sports don’t deal with CAS on any sort of regular basis.

      Sometimes the great and terrible thing about sports is saying “well the refs screwed us” and moving on. Holding a grudge for years/decades, sure. Debating the results over drinks at the pub? Sure. Trying to get the actual result changed? That’s crazy behavior.

        Yeah thats just the nature for a lot of sports right, you often dont get to overturn an obviously incorrect call after the fact. Like you dont overturn an obviously offside goal after the match ends. Or you dont overturn an obvious pass interference in a conference final, no matter how egregious that new orleans game was. You just dont get to do that in sports. So i can see why the rule is in placed. Its just a shitty situation all around that normally can be avoided of the ref/judge was able to give the correct call
