Last time i watched sport i almost got good beating
Well i was drunk and went for one more beer in pub where people was watching Fin-Rus icehockey game, maybe it wasnt good idea to yell "Hjuva Vjenaja" when russians did a goal
Ohh those looks

The French cycling team arrived at Beijing airport yesterday, they were ALL wearing masks. Maybe a bit OTT inside the airport terminal, unless they were planning to cycle to their hotel

it was actually the US cycling team. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/06082008/ ... izers.html

Ah so.
I saw it on French TV so assumed they were French. BTW Sarko has decided to attend the opening ceremony while Carla meets the Dalai Lama in France. So that's sorted. I guess Sarko will have to take his mum to Beijing then....

Just to jump to the defense of the cyclists a bit...I know these guys are absolutely paranoid about picking up a respiratory infection... Pro cycling is all about VO2 Max...oxygen uptake and getting rid of lactic acid...

My guess is that it had more to do with the flight...we all know how healthy airplane flights are... But, perhaps, the pollution in Beijing is also an issue....though I don't really know about that...

Sounds like you're a veritable Don Quixote...P*ssing into the wind and all that...

So, if I were to say, "Whova Kanada!!"...I could expect a beating then...

Gotcha.. finally..Well..He forgets He "looks" exactly like a Russian or a Swede!!
Now doesnt matter if he thinks like one..(Like a Suomalainen or a Venaja r a ruotsilainen)..

I dont forget, when someone is quiet just sitting i probably wont be able to tell where he/she is from (swe/fi/east ru/ge/de/no...) nor i care. But trying to cheer russians in pub what is full of finns or cheer finns in pub full of russians... mistake. Or try to go Tappara vs HIFK match and go in HIFK supporters and cheer tappara...
Got a point?

No need to escape, well if youre german in lapland you can wait some verbal abuse but just dont "stick out", you can be in "wrong" place just dont cheer "wrong" party, that will get you atleast stares
Thats what i have seen, seems icehockey is serious to some people, i couldnt care less.
