  1. "What the h**l were you thinking?"  (to start off with)


  2. You are a disgrace to the sport, to the Olympics, and to your country.  Go back and sit in your shack for the rest of your shameful life, because you have no future in international competition.

  3. He has been banned for life from all WTF events, World Championships, Pan Am Games, Olympics, etc. I think this is a fair and justified punishment.

    While I think the center referees did fine in the TKD tournament, the 4 corner judges did poor job throughout the tournament on what is/is not a point. Way too much controversy on points. They seemed to only award points for rear leg round kicks at full contact. I saw a lot of front leg round kicks that were not counted, and even several head kicks that were not counted. It didnt appear to favor one fighter over another, it just seemed that they were not awarding points.

    As for the Cuban's future, there are other TKD associations. He will probably still work with and help train other Cuban athletes, but won't be able to attend.

    I think his coaches are to blame. They have an injury time clock and they need to watch it.

    That being said, I think you can continue with a broken toe. He was standing up as time expired, and his trainers were getting ready to get off the mat. Not to mention he was leading 3-2.

    The other guy starts celebrating like he knocked him out, when really he was losing.

    By the letter of the law, the ref was right. But I know I would be pissed off too.

    But....no matter how ticked I was, I would not have kick the ref in the face.

    In contrast, Nigerian Bronze Medalist Chika Chukumerije was a class act throughout. Even bowing to the ref when receiving a deduction point. He was one of the most exciting fighters of the tournament too.

  4. "Welcome to Miami, Bienvenidos a Miami" - Fresh Price of Bel Air, Miami song

    He's probably on his way now from china on a converted Buick boat.

  5. "your out!"

    Lack of social graces is very evident in these Olympics.... where is sportsmanship???

  6. I don't say anything, but I think he is a piece of ship!
