Robbed of Gold?

I never cease being amazed that, even years later, the most insignificant event in US sports history is still one of the biggest deals ever in the history of Korean sports.

Kevin, I wish it was me. I culled in from some parody website. There were some other good ones there as well. I will have to try to find it again.

The “ROBBED OF GOLD” incident will be canonized in Korean history books for posterity: it validates the Korean victimization myth justifying recreational-rage.

Recreational rage: being enveloped by the warm and empowering embrace of a crowd; and given permission to shake-a-fist at an unjust world.

It’s quite fun and addictive!
