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.


I think you should write an essay on the topic and post it here for us as your commentary on this matter.

On a lighter note, damn dude, you were drunk posting last night, weren't you? Znd, yhing, I have never seen so many typos from you.

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


Yeah, because you are just the epitome of self-reflection and decency, aren't you. Oh, and balanced too. Very Happy

Are you attempting to refute the point or are you just stupid?

More evidence that Koreans are the biggest sore losers in the world - oh but wait! We need Steelrails to tell us how Britain has soccer hooligans, that'll set the record straight.

Can't we just ban Koreans from all international sporting events? They clearly only want to be part of the international community when it suits them.

Dude, chill.

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.


Going 2 for 3 in sporting targets of hate is not a bad average in my book.

As a follow up to my last post, UNC beat Duke. The game was called fairly and the better team that day won. Maybe it came down to it being a 'home' game for the Heels that they won or possibly I was just being dramatic in suspecting foul play from the refs. Either way, I'm glad to say that there will be no need to start up my online petition protesting the outcome.

All of my DOOK friends are crying foul though and have been pounding away at their keyboards in disgust. I'm not sure if any of them have started a petition, however.

It might be different next time around.

Tar....................Heels

As for Viktor An and his latest Gold Medal in skating, all our Korean friends are happy for him and cheered him on. Their anger is directed at the Korea Skating Federation and not at the skater who did not do anything wrong.

Good on him for doing what he did.

I'm surprised at how many Koreans seem ok with Victor Ahn skating for Russia.

Why?

They known the story. He left due to the Korea Skating Federation's treatment of him and other skaters.

I can't help but wonder if any heads are gonna roll at the Korea Skating Federation now that Victor has 3 golds and a bronze, making him the most successful athlete at these olympics.

The guy is still Korean. The Korean Skating Federation is sleeping well. Especially after the partying they did after he won.

You do know what country Viktor Ahn skated for? The guys running Korean Skating Federation did little celebrating and are probably putting the noose around their own necks as we speak.
