The light shining on their ignorance and defeated religiousness was disconcerting in the extreme. They couldn’t concentrate.
Come on... South Korea has got the Judo thing in the bag.
lol
It makes for a less stinky enviornment for the Israelis, lucky ducks. The Americans and Europeans should be so fortunate.
Thanks GW.
Israel should demonstrate some Krav Maga on them.
Why aren’t those sexist, racist, homophobic muzzlems kicked out of the olympics? Don’t the standards apply to them? What if some all-white country decided not to practice near an all-black team? That’s OK, right? Oh, you say a competitor got banned for a racist tweet?
These “let’s all get together and play” charades are disgusting in their hypocrisy.
Just hand them all swords and let them play.
That kind of behavior should not under any circumstance be acceptable at the Olympics. They are encouraging hate and division which is the opposite of what the Olympics are supposed to be about. I will not even bother to watch any of the ice skating or gymnastics now.
“Olympic officials were forced to erect a screen between Lebanon’s and Israel’s judo fighters on Friday after the Lebanese refused to train on the same mat...”
My pro-Israel sentiments aside, I believe that if I were one of those Olympic officials, my answer would have been “Here, we put aside religion and politics and concentrate on athletics. You have a choice. You can get out on the mat and practice like everyone else - or you can go home”.
End of discussion.
