I agree with Jiri, this team has showed how classy they are throughout these games and I wasn't overly fond of them. I'm happy they won gold and applaud them for the accomplishment (beating the americans was not as cut and dry as many believe).

I think this debate boils down to one question. In your mind if you can see the Americans doing this and think "good for them", then you are free to have no problem with the celebration. If you're like me and the thought of Americans doing that makes your blood boil just a little, then I think it would be hypocritical to say our celebration was a positive thing.
