Mr. Philadel

A Swiss footballer 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.

Morganella is the second athlete kicked off a London Olympics team for offensive Twitter comments, following Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou.

phelps picking up the silver now

LOL at Phelps.

That silver literally means jack sh*t to him. A silver for the British swim team guarantees you fame and Persil sponsorship for at least a decade.

Well atleast Phelps is most likely gonna break the Olympic record for most medals ever won, he's already tied at 18 now. I'd rather have it be him than that gymnast.

Great moment for the SA kid him and his family could hardly bold back the tears. And the BBC just got his father to do an interview.

Moments like this is what makes the Olympics and special and the greatest moments which people remember for a long time.

Haha.

We had 7 years to naturalize shitloads of cast-off Chinese and American athletes with the promise of Persil sponsorship and 60k a year bursary.

Lack of foresight, imo.

We should be getting the Managing Director of a global Call Centre outsourcer to be the heads of our Olympics teams.

We're not proud.
