What happens when things get a little too physical at a Korean women’s basketball game?  If you said that someone gets, um… slapped, you are correct.

    The netizens are angry with the slapper. It must be racism. They never criticize Koreans only foreigners.

    Yeah, that’s kind of funny that the Netizens are so worked up over a slap, simply because women were involved. Korean women can be a lot more violent than that, what’s the big deal?

    On the bright side, at least something exciting happened at a women’s basketball game.

    “On the bright side, at least something exciting happened at a women’s basketball game.”

    Agreed. I used to occasionally tune in to women’s basketball here until they stopped letting foreigners play in the league.

    soothsayer, please: just go. We already have many proud Koreans and contrarian foreigners here who patrol the Hole in defense of Korea’s honor. You aren’t needed. Just go.

    (not politically correct opinion coming)Ladies’ sports used to be much better when they had lots of pretty girls playing, but the quality of play wasn’t even near what it is now. However, sports were very watchable. I used to really like volleyball. Now, I can’t even stand to look at a game. It was more of a show or performance rather than a fierce competition.

    By the way, getting slapped by one of those mamas would be like getting hit by a sledgehammer. Did you see the sheer mass of those mammoths?

    I’m an occasional basketball player myself, I’ve played on teams in France and the US, and I’ve never seen such aggressive playing as in Korea. I remember holdnig on to a ball, and instead of calling it a jump-ball, the other player tried wedging it from me, so I kept my stance, and then since he couldn’t pry it, he just drops to the ground! So I fall down on him, then he starts wrestling for it! End of the story, I end up having to leave the game to clean BLOOD off my elbow, yes it was the most violent game I ever played, and I learned my lesson. Yet, oddly, it seemed more calm when whitey left.

    My friend, an excellent soccer player who chose not to pursue a professional career due to a knee injury, told me he had a similar experience playing soccer in Korea. Five or six players would surround him, kicking wildly as if to injure him, whenever he got the ball. They’d drop like flies whenever they failed to get the ball from him. He didn’t bother playing much after that.

    isn’t this simple? All they need to do is ban the player who acted inappropriately from playing in future games. Case closed, no longer a controversy for the dreaded K-netizens.

    Yeah…unless the incident was created in order to create interest in the league.

    Well… can’t speak for the young ladies as I never got one mad enough where they wanted to hit me (real hard). However, my mom use to beat the crap out of me.

    It’s good to see you take out a broom now and then and shoo away a cockroach or two, Robert.
