You read my post? There are multiple eyewitness accounts of the game. Two of the more prominent ones )as in being referenced by news sites) were on Washington Post (International Newspaper with a reporter AT the game to cover the goodwill tour) and a Georgetown Hoya's forum (Made by an admittedly biased alumnus at the game). Next time spend more than one second coming up with your "witty" reply and do a bit of background research before posting. After all who do you think Gene Wang is? Mike Wise? (For reference, Wise is a long time and well established WP (and sport talk radio host as of late) writer who deiced it would be a good idea to put forward some outlandish (but extremely juicy) rumor out of left field and watch how the media reacted. Of course Wise got a great laugh out of the joke until the public started to call for his head). | ||

Why spread false information about the refs NOT having role in this incident when they clearly did? It is literally impossible to have the foul discrepancy involved in this game with impartial refs, there fore the refs indeed had a role in this incident. The ref didn't start the brawl directly. That's what I said. Don't put words in my mouth. No doubt this is disgraceful but don't pretend the collee players were not involved in starting the fight. | ||

Feel free to point out where in my statement I absolve the players of their actions and blamed it on the refs alone. Oh wait that never happened, however, I did say the refs had a clear and definite role in this brawl and to dismiss that is ignorant. | ||

I really liked watching the USA vs China olympics basketball game though. I didn't know Chinese players would get this aggressive from a "friendly" sports game. | ||

Well, there's probably a large difference between the best players who make the Olympic team and can actually play the game, and these kinds of thugs who treat it like something else. I mean, they got 57 FTs and they still only had 64pts? They probably have 0 talent, so they make up for it with being rough.

I don't know anything about Chinese basketball regulations so I leave comment on that to Empyrean. I've reconsidered my opinion Jibba. At first I only saw freshman forward Moses Ayegba, who was wearing a brace on his right leg, limped onto the court with a chair in his right hand. but after further reading I think I missed the overall picture, pointing towards the need to protect themselves. I don't want to believe the fight was instigated solely by the Chinese players but what can you do, the only information points to it. | ||

Chinese people are very concerned with "face" and they obviously wanted to win that game and show everyone "hurr durr we are China we are better than America even at a game that is so popular in the US". Reruns of sports on chinese tv are always games that china won, or got silver. I'm guessing that some political big shots said beforehand to the refs that no matter what the Chinese are going to win, probably a lot of bribes and illegal betting involved... would not surprise me in the least. The chinese attitude is "dude what the fuck man let us win this game it's a friendly game on our home court anyway..." but the American attitude is "fairness and sportsmanship above all else" and that is where the conflict originated. | ||

Even when provoked, a brawl on a basketball court is absolutely no way to represent the entire country. Shame on them for not being the better men.

And your teammates are being manhandled unfairly, you would decide to be the "bigger man" and do nothing? Exactly how do you be the "bigger men" when the other side won't even listen, and will just fight.... EDIT: Ahhh, I just saw your edit. Here's mine. No matter what the situation is, human beings should always try to be civil and instigate a non-violent way to solve an issue. But notice I said SHOULD. In this kind of situation, all u can do is protect the ones u love in any way possible, even if it does involve in people getting hurt and your country being shamed. While I do not commend the USA players for their reactions, I REALLY doubt that there were much options for them. | ||

Two of Georgetown's starters were heavily recruited by Duke as well. Please quit with idiotic generalizations or come back with the facts. You are jsut as bad as the CBS blogger who posted about "Georgetown Thuggery" only to backtrack when the video did support his unsubstantiated claims. Leave the shit posting to those who are actually paid for it. Thanks! OT - "That's just me though" = Cuse fan (possibly other Big East rival) or simply ignorant. Haven't heard such ridiculous statements since the Hoya paranoia and I doubt you were even alive for that as I certainly wasn't. Although fun to see that it is still alive and well in some circles. Duke is about the least "ghetto" team lol. I say this, because I have been to Georgetown many times, because I have a couple of friends that live there and no some of the old players, and they would talk shit and try and start fights all the time. Quit acting like you know a bunch of shit just because you read a blog. :s | ||
