I think it's fantastic that Korean dudes who had no idea that figure skating existed a mere 5 years ago can now speak with authority on the minutiae of triple salchows and double lutzes. |

Christ. Id rather she had just won the gold.
You will NEVER hear the end of this. It will go down in the annals of Korean complaining with East sea, Dokdo, that time Maradona gave a sarcastic clap on the sideline when he coached Argentina against Korea, gimbap isnt Japanese, etc. |

As opposed to non-skating fans on Daves who actively root against her? Are they skating fans? Arent they just as sad as butthurt KNetizens flooding ESPN? |

Yep! I have been saying it before the games began. Either Yu-na wins a gold, or cries of cheating will be ringing across the peninsula. |

Surely all of the netizens crying foul are skating fans. I mean they must be if they are so passionate about the outcome, right? |

Were rightly despising the netizens and calling them losers and fairweather fans. The yhing is, if getting emotional and posting on websites over a sport you dont know anything or care about is something bad, then shouldnt the posters rooting against Yuna be called out as well? Neither those posters or netizens give a crap about skating. |

The Korean bashers on Daves are the finest in the world. Many have been training in their discipline for years. Gold medal worthy.
Listening to some ajoshi acting like he is an expert on figure skating judging, trying to break down score sheets, is just asinine. True I don't care one iota about figure skating, but I like to see Korea lose in any and all sporting endeavors.

Yeah kinda bummed that Lipnitskaia didnt deliver a memorable performance. Znd Gracie Gold didnt medal. But at least Davis and White got the gold in Ice Dancing. I wanted Patrick Chan to get gold because he trains at the same club in Detroit as White and Davis. |

A post like that would be cause for self-reflection in a decent human being. |

That about sums it up. Sure, call them out if you feel the need. I've got no dog in this fight, as like you mentioned, I could care less about figure skating. Good for the three medalists anyway, I guess.
The Carolina-Duke bball game is starting soon. Now, if the refs pull the typical giving favorable calls to DOOK crap, that will upset me. |

I can assure you that I'm a decent human being, who through many observations and real life experiences, has decided that Koreans and international sporting events don't go well together. As a result , I like to see Korea lose in any and all international sporting events. I also like to see the SEC and any team from LA lose. |
