I don’t have much on this except for what I thought was a funny title for a post. Apparently some asshole taekwondo Cuban dude kicked a judge in the grill at the Olympics because he was disqualified from his match.
So now the World Taekwondo Federation – get it? WTF. heh – has to decide whether to ban this guy for life. I would say he deserves it, though it could’ve been worse. He could have done this first.
Oh well. Tough shit, Cuban dude. Guess you shouldn’t be such a face-kicking poor sport. I don’t like how they skimp on the tequila in the El Presidente margarita at Chili’s sometimes, but you don’t see me kicking people in the face about it, now do you?
Now if you all will excuse me I need to go finish filing my charter papers for the Bahamian Amateur Motocross Federation.
If you had been thinking about giving US Women’s Gymnastics captain Alicia Sacramone shit for choking and taking the Americans out of gold medal contention in the team competition the other day – and you’d be super lame if you were – then you better think again.
Peep this video of her knocking some frat boy the F out at what appears to be a party at Brown University where she goes to school.
Pretty bad ass, right? It’s hard to say whether she really knocked him out or if he was just faking it or was just hammered and this was going to happen anyway.
Either way, I don’t think I’d be inviting a world-class athlete to punch me in the face as hard as possible, chick or not. Way to think it through, Skyler.
So much for One World, One Dream or whatever. The picture above shows members of the Spanish Olympic basketball team making what The Guardian calls a “slit-eye” gesture. I thought it was slant-eye, but po-tay-toh, po-tah-toh, it’s still freaking racist.
This picture apparently appeared in a full page ad in a Spanish newspaper and no one batted a racist, faux-slanted eye. Nice job, Spain. This is sure to help your chances in landing the Games in 2016.
Oh, and memo to members of the Spanish Olympic team in China right now: Let’s just say I wouldn’t drink any more Coke until I was back home if I were you.
Phelps and random other dude celebrate 4x100m victory.
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m actually watching the Olympics and I’m enjoying them. So sue me.
Even though it sucks to have to stay up until almost midnight to follow stories like Michael Phelps’ quest for an unprecedented eight gold medals, last night it was totally worth it.
Phelps swam the first leg of the 4x100m freestyle relay, an event where the French where not only favored to win, but talking some pretty serious shit before the competition. French anchor Alain Bernand – which is probably pronounced “Alan” but I like to think it is “Elaine” said of the US squad before the race…
The Americans? We’re going to smash them. That’s what we came here for
After he had…um, surrendered the race to US bad-ass anchor Jason Lezak, Bernard could only muster a weak
Of course, we are a bit disappointed, but (silver) is a nice medal.
Spoken like a guy who just finished second after talking smack. Sorry, Frenchie.
Anyway, I’m enjoying the Olympics and hope that Phelps is able to complete his quest for eight gold. He seems like a nice enough kid and it would cool to see anyone accomplish something so amazing. It just makes it all the better that he’s one of ours.
