Tsk, tsk Eric. Never let inconvenient things like facts get in the way of a hysterical inferiority complex by proxy. We need our national pride! Who cares about gold medals, we need high(er)-speed internet! Now pipe down and belly up to the tax-filled trough like a good, little megacorp. Maybe you need some of the good 'ol American gumption of T. Bone Pickens.
