Quote: |
At the same time as Vice President Joe Biden is visiting Beijing in hopes of improving relations between the U.S. and China, another group on a goodwill trip from Washington encountered an unexpected diplomatic hiccup.
Georgetown had to leave the court during the fourth quarter of its exhibition game against the Baiyi Rockets on Thursday night in Beijing after both benches emptied and a wild brawl erupted between the two teams. None of the Hoyas were seriously injured despite trading punches with the opposing players and having to dodge chairs thrown onto the court and water bottles hurled from the stands. |

OK. Jocks have a short temper. How is this a current event?
This is just sensationalism, not news.
If I am mistaken, please show me how this affects the lives of anyone beyond the handful of people involved. |

Wasn't it dubbed as some goodwill event that somehow coincided with the Joe Biden visit? |
