As if reading from a script, they often exaggerate the efforts of the Americans, diminish their opponents (or find excuses for why they're doing better), and make excuses for their compatriots' struggles. American commentators are a lot more neutral when there is no American participating in the event. In such situations they can stand aside and pretend to be fence-sitting professionals, except perhaps when they transfer their allegiance, as they sometimes do, to British, Canadian, Australian, or German athletes. I ain't mad at that; we have our nationalist biases that intrude, sometimes subconsciously, on our craft. Over the years I have decided to sometimes ignore the commentary and enjoy the game. It aint easy because sometimes you have to wonder if you're watching the same game or event that the commentators are describing.
