    Its funny.. Millions of dollars were spent boasting beautiful fireworks and vibrant colors to signify world unity yet the Olympic Committee does nothing when a few Judo players refuse to train next to Israeli athletes. And ofcourse, the Palestinians applaud that the "racist" act did not follow pursuit. Quite frankly, if the Munich Massacre were American or British athletes and not Israeli, their would of been a one minute tribute for them tonight.

    Those scumbags should have stayed home. The olympics are for civilized people.

    What else is new?

    A few days ago there was a report that Iran was willing to have its athletes compete against Israel... I though that the Messiah was about to arrive that very moment.

    However Iran was very quick to deny this report and claim it was a "Zionist ploy".

    Like every Olympics I guess they'll have to pray not to have to compete against us and then subsequently have themselves disqualified.

    Anyone claiming the Olympics is devoid of politics and doesn't employ double standards is naive.

    You are supposed to leave that **** behind when you go to the Olympics, that is sort of the point. If you cant leave your grudges behind don't bother showing up.

    The only correct answer would have been to send the Lebanese judo team back home for "lack of sportsmanship". No hearings, no discussions, just the simple notification to pack their gear at gtfo.

    The current Olympics are a really bad and sad joke

    That would just be playing into their hands. Personally I'd just say "fine, don't practice"

    In a perfect world yes, that would be the Olympics. A celebration of cultures competing in events that really are all secondary to the festive attitude the gathering of peoples in the WHOLE world bnrings. We are all members of the same earth.

    The truth is though, the Olympics are like that family reunion that nobody wants to go to. But go anyway, grudgingly, for the tradition and not so much for the crazy aunt, dissapointing uncle, etc. The Olympics turn out to be more of a pitiful game of "One-upping" the other guy to see who has bragging rights for the next 4 years. :/

    BUt hey it could be worse, they could be shooting each other.

    Why do you make such an effort to create retarded analogies?

    Israelis don't have a problem training next to (and competing against) people who come from countries that (at the very least) don't recognize their right to exist as a country. This is because we posses a mentality that enables us to separate between sports and politics... something the Lebanese athletes and others like them seem to lack.

    If anyone should be compared to the Taliban in this story, it's the Lebanese you bellend.
