And then he said we are down to 5 chinese players from 28, i was just like, wtf, did i miss the whole series i mean, either way, you just dont say anything like that in any sport event, like '20 russians down to 2 russians'? | ||

I wonder how many people it bothers. I don't think it would bother me regardless of which nationality they used. Poll: Does what BurningSera is saying bother you aswell?
