What the ... shuttle cock?!?!?!?

Another day and another Olympic controversy. 8 badminton players have been kicked out of the Olympics for poor sportsmanship. They basically threw their games so they would face weaker opponents in the next stage of the games.

Wow, to read this article you would think it was only the Chinese team that did this. Even though TWO South Korean teams were kicked out for the same thing. Which makes what the South Korean coach a double hypocrite for saying the following.

After the match, South Korean head coach Sung Han-Kook reportedly said: "It's not the Olympic spirit to play like this. How could the number one pair in the world play like this?"

You tell them coach! And at the same time why not tear a strip out of YOUR four players who did the same thing instead of ignoring it?

And thanks to the actions of a British cyclist and the governing body of cycling the South Koreans have more fodder for their paranoia.

  1. I'm always struck by how shocked, SHOCKED criminals are when they get caught.
    Secretly, they are going against everything they show publicly. You're right about their hypocrisy. They deserve multiple slaps like never before!

  2. It remidns me of how shocked teh Mayor of Busan (I believe it was Busan) feigned to be several years ago when it "came out" how prevalent prostitution was, and still is.
