Fight Ends US China Goodwill Basketball Game

Tied 64 - 64

The foul-filled contest between Georgetown and the Bayi Rockets was immediately called off once order was restored.

Now if we had the scrotal fortitude to slap the whole country down with tariffs, rather than just beating on a few of its representatives...

I guess you did not watch 1:21 of the clip.
Who was walking away checking to see if they still had all of their teeth.

I would say the Chinese lads held their own pretty good against those clowns.

LOL..serves em right.

You're right about the Chinese kids, they stood their ground.
...

From what I could see the g-town boys escalated it, took some cheap shots and were an embarrassment.

Hard to be certain because the one video I saw was so bad.

.

MTI's kung-fu line is pretty funny.

It looks like the kid on the ground is about to become a castrato!

From what I saw, the spark was when a G-T guy objected to a C guy banging him a bit and then another C guy jumped in and starting throwing punches. If they'd just let the two guys jaw for a while or something, wouldn't have gotten out of hand.

I'd a had to be there to be sure but the C guys came across like thugs to me.

You must have access to information we haven't received in this country. Why are the Georgetown players "clowns"? From what I've read, no clear explanation for the brawl has emerged, but it's not as if the Chinese players covered themselves in glory:

So, help us out. Why are the Georgetown players "clowns"?

No surprise given Georgetown's propensity to recruit thugs, at least when compared to the fine, upstanding young gentlemen recruited to the University of Connecticut.
