Aussie gone full racist

I would note that the objectionable language appears to come from the journalist, not Stubblety-Cook himself.

It's also gone presumption of guilt before innocence and gone full delusional in basically "If we can't find evidence of cheating, that just shows how good they are cheating." One cannot convince or argue with a delusional person because they don't operate in the realm of logic or evidence. No amount of evidence will be accepted. The only way to move forward is just get on with what you're doing and ignore them.

It makes me a little bitter than Australia and China are restoring relations. Such barbaric and genocidal people (where have all the indigenous people in Australia gone?) can only be handled with the exact same brutality they use against others.

"I know these people intimately"

"I've studied them for 30 years"

"I've studied this sport, I've studied this speed, I understand it"

"I'm an expert in it, that's what I do"

Just change a couple words and you literally have every single China-watching Westoid expaarts/blobs out there lmfao

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

What else can they do, impose even more drug test? That's nothing. It will lead to more drug tests for all athletes not just Chinese. So, if the Chinese are good at swimming and going to keep getting better, no amount of extra drug test is going to change that.

 

[azn_cyniq]

That was BULL SHIT. I don't ever wanna know what it looks like when the opponent smiles and that dot-flagged, cartoon-jerking, live-in-a-4-square-foot-apartment mofo had WAY too many happy moments.

Fun fact: Tomokazu Harimoto, the guy who Fan Zhendong beat, is ethnically Chinese. His Chinese name is Zhang Zhihe. His parents immigrated to Japan from Sichuan.

His sister is Miwa Harimoto is also very good, we'll see her in the teams competition. She's like 17 right now and #3 in Japan, but will most likely be their top player within the next couple of years.

They can always take it further by banning PRC competitors altogether and not accept any record breaking times in the Asian games made by a PRC competitors.

Those days are long gone. IOC decision are made by all countries and China has a lot of influence in the global south. The West will never be able to Ban China from the Olympics.

IOC would be stupid to lose all the Chinese sponsorship and viewership money if they did. Most Americans I know don’t even watch it like they do outside the country.
