I've never been a big fan of Korean sportsmenship. That goes all the way back to the 2002 World Cup. I found it quite irritating to see Ahn Jung Hwan do his speedskating gesture after scoring in protest of the Korean who was disqualified from his medal prior to that. These were two different events and it was out of place. I was also always disappointed with the way the fans always seemed to be oblivious to the poor calls that seemed to go their way more often than not in 2002 and then turn around and bitch about it in 2006. At least see it both ways. And if you've seen any of these youtube clips, terrible demonstrations of sportsmenship, behaving like little children, http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bad+manners+korea+&search=Search
And just recently you may have read this story on the Korean Times http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200702/kt2007020218122853460.htm
and it all just gets a little bit tiring. If you haven't read it, after winning silver medals, the women's speedskating relay team stood up on the podium holding the sign ``Mount Paektu is our territory'' , with the whole games taking place in China no less. I mean show a little respect. I would expect as much from the men here, but the women. Gees.

Just goes to show what kind of people Koreans are.

Immature
Small minded
Barbaric

Speaking of bad manners, does anybody have a link to the video where George Bush, Sr. (while he was president) puked in the lap of his Japanese host sitting next to him at a formal dinner?

Stay away from the fugu, George!!

Or the one where Latrell Spreewell leaped over his teammates to try to strangle his coach?

Or the one where Dennis Rodman during a basketball game kicked a courtside cameraman in the pee-pee?

Or any of John Mcenroe's outbursts?

Or of coach Bobby Knight throwing chairs across the basketball court?

Or of any baseball pitcher who intentionally beaned a hitter (or any hitter who susequently threw a punch at a pitcher)?


Bad sports are just chumps. People who act like chumps on behalf of their country just bring their country down. But I do gotta' admit that its really irritating having to live in this country and see that kind of thing.

Sportsmanship is not an Asian thing, definitely not a Korean thing.

It's all about winning. If you lose, your nothing, so consequently you get boorish incident after boorish incident from Korean athletes and fans.

And Koreans complaining about Japan posting stuff is hilarious. I've never seem such a bunch of people who can't move on, or like having that giant Japan chip on their shoulders. Move on Korea, you've milked your hardships for far more than they were worth.

*and thank your lucky stars you were colonized by Japan. Imagine if China colonized you, you would still be living in mud huts and burying cats in pots under your houses.

And the whiners are doing a happy dance now that they've found another excuse.

Man the thread title is misleading. I thought it was going to be a good idea for like maybe a waygookin flash mob or a campaign to increase awareness about Liancourt Rocks, Canada's Rightful Land.

Instead, just another boring, ironically racist post. Koreans are poor sportsmans, boo freakin hoo. I guess you've never watched the NBA.

china is a threat to the US politically, economically and militarily. china is growing.. we all know that... but also.. they r a huge threat. lets remember that its still a communist country and has a strong million man military. only a dumbass would think china is passive and that they r friendly. kudos to the girls.
hey MORONS wake up!
