The International Olympic Committee and luge officials have taken criticism for blaming the accident on Kumaritashvili's failure to make tactical corrections during his run, and for saying they were changing the course not to make it safer but to soothe the emotions of the athletes. ^ I did think it was insensitive that they quickly released that statement. And also they'd tried to say he was young and inexperienced. Olympians aren't made over night, it was wrong to say he was inexperienced as a way to pass off blame.
Of course it easy way to kick dead horse.
Plus the news showed the accident, and supposedly posted the clip on line. Why would they need to do that?! It seemed like an obvious attempt to get ratings, and website hits
News like this sells,they don't care what his family members,friends,team mates,etc.think.
It was a really poor decision.
Poor maybe,but it's money what's important,not humans feelings.
That's sad. Plus, when they want to exploit something, it's justified. But political violence they hide from people. It's so wrong.
Likie marilyn manson said " violence for the people/bite the hand that bleeds"We havent evolved that much socialy since the Roman Empire.Violence,, sex,, and drama allways entertain us.
