Round One Goes To China

By mceezy

Alright, alright, you’ve probably seen this by now. But how could we resist with all the other Asians doing funny stuff videos we post. Of course when the story of Georgetown getting in a huge brawl with Bayi of China last night, everyone was asking the same thing: where’s the video? First a couple of still photos leaked, and then finally someone broke through the great firewall of China and got the video up. Actually, the Chinese government likely only allowed the video since it gives the impression that the Chinese team f*cked the other guys up. I’m willing to bet this footage is doctored. What we didn’t see is the Chinese guys probably threw a bunch of cheap shots leading up to this, and there may have been some punches landed by Georgetown that were left out of the final cut. But that’s how the Chinese powers that be work. Get used to it….

  This is nuts. I wonder how many teams will decide to travel overseas after an event like this. Honestly, what caused them to fight?

  Kudos to the Hoyas they stuck around for a few minutes and got their a## kicked . Does this set now back Sino-American relations for the next decade as such ?

  Sportsmanship at its best and worse !

  This angle made the Hoyas a look slightly better… Wild stuff regardless! http://www.wjla.com/articles/2011/08/georgetown-basketball-brawl-video-hoyas-involved-in-melee-in-china-65333.html

  Kudos for getting the videos out because I was wondering where they were also. These events usually start because of the deadly mix of aggressive play AND refs who don’t keep things in check. When I was ballin’ even the most aggressive games could be handled if the officials had a handle. I’m guessing that was not the case here. Always dicey when you’re playing overseas…everything from drinking the water to ducking folding chairs.

  Those 80s bad-ass Georgetown teams would have taken on the entire arena and beat that ass.

  Chris, you are so right. Slam-dunk that Hoya Paranoia would have spread across China like a plague.
