Olympics: "I am going to batter the Koreans, burn them all... bunch of retards." - Polidicks

Not racist at all.[/i] [quote] LONDON — A Swiss football player was expelled from the Olympics on Monday for his threatening and racist message on Twitter about South Koreans. The comments by Michel Morganella came hours after Switzerland lost to South Korea. Morganella “discriminated against, insulted and violated the dignity of the South Korea football team as well as the South Korean people,” Swiss Olympic team chief Gian Gilli said through a translator at a news conference. He said the player was stripped of his Olympic accreditation. "I am going to batter the Koreans, burn them all... bunch of 'trisos'," Morganella wrote on the micro-blogging site. 'Trisos' is a French slang word for people with Down's Syndrome. Morganella is the second athlete kicked off a London Olympics team for offensive Twitter comments, following Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou. He posted the message after playing in the 2-1 loss against South Korea on Sunday. He said in the tweet that South Koreans “can go burn” and referred to them as a “bunch of mongoloids.” The 23-year-old player later released a contrite statement through Swiss Olympic. “I apologize sincerely to the people of South Korea, to the players, but equally to the Swiss delegation and Swiss football in general. It’s clear that I’m accepting the consequences”. “After the disappointing result and the reaction from Korea that followed, I made a huge error,” Morganella added. Gilli said the player had been “provoked” by comments sent to his Twitter account after the match. Still, the Swiss team leader acknowledged that Morganella had to be sent home under the terms of the International Olympic Committee’s code of conduct, which requires athletes to show mutual respect. “In this case, we felt we have no alternative,” Gilli said. Swiss media published images of a tweet from Morganella’s account (at)morgastoss. The account has since been deleted. The tweet was written in a garbled form of French, appearing to combine a kind of French slang called verlan and text-messaging style. Swiss officials with the team in Cardiff, Wales, said players were told Morganella was already on his way home. Gilli said he had tried to contact the head of the South Korean team in London to offer a personal explanation. “We would like to apologize, especially to the South Korea National Olympic Committee and the South Korea Football Association for the behavior of the player,” he said. The IOC has encouraged the 10,800 athletes at the London Games to communicate with fans through social media, but it issued guidelines on the standards of behavior it expected. Morganella played the entire game in both of Switzerland’s matches. He received a yellow card against South Korea in Coventry. The Swiss drew 1-1 with Gabon in Newcastle on Thursday. Switzerland plays its final group match against Mexico on Wednesday. Morganella debuted with the senior national team in May and currently plays for the Italian club Palermo. “We hope that he will draw the necessary lessons for his still young football career,” Gilli said. Last week, Greece Olympic officials tossed Papachristou off the team after she posted a comment mocking African immigrants and supporting a far-right political party.

Was it directed towards just their soccer team or what I don't get it.

I thought the Swiss were supposed to be an incredibly nice nation, second only to Canada in politeness?

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;37007470]Was it directed towards just their soccer team or what I don't get it.[/QUOTE] Yes, he said it after the Swiss team lost 2-1 to South Korea.

Isn't Switzerland a pretty xenophobic country anyway?

[QUOTE=The mouse;37007635]Isn't Switzerland a pretty xenophobic country anyway?[/QUOTE] Nah, it's only that the right-wings are the loudest.

Why the fuck would you put this on twitter, I mean I get it if he made a comment to one of his friends or something but come on, after that Greek woman was kicked off the team for the exact same reason

[QUOTE=The mouse;37007635]Isn't Switzerland a pretty xenophobic country anyway?[/QUOTE] They're isolationist and independent, but not xenophobic. However, xenophobia could be considered an extreme of their current policies, so...

[quote]I am going to batter the Koreans, [B]burn them all[/B][/quote] I don't play a lot of football, but I'm pretty sure that would get you a red card.

[QUOTE=The mouse;37007635]Isn't Switzerland a pretty xenophobic country anyway?[/QUOTE] Since when?

[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;37007480]Yes, he said it after the Swiss team lost 2-1 to South Korea.[/QUOTE] So it was pretty unsportsmanlike yeah but where is the huge issue?

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;37008881]So it was pretty unsportsmanlike yeah but where is the huge issue?[/QUOTE] Basically, he violated the olympic oath.

This is of course an international event, and I'm glad they hold people like this to a decent standard.

[QUOTE=cccritical;37007473]I thought the Swiss were supposed to be an incredibly nice nation, second only to Canada in politeness?[/QUOTE] Bad people are in every country. Unlike some people seem to think, there isn't one where every person has the same opinions and morals on everything.

I thought the Swiss where really nice people. Oh god I'm generalising :/

[quote]bunch of mongoloids[/quote] Was a dickish thing to say, but I don't get this bit. How is this an insult? It's like saying "bunch of humans".

[QUOTE=JgcxCub;37010510]Was a dickish thing to say, but I don't get this bit. How is this an insult? It's like saying "bunch of humans".[/QUOTE] I bet that's a terrible insult on some other planet observing us.
