Why it’s so difficult to support the Korean team

from the Chosun-Ilbo
Translation (via Chosun-Ilbo):
Japan: We’ll make ‘em take Japanese baseball seriously for the next 30 years.
Mexico: Korean Baseball? We don’t know about that.
USA: We’ve only got to worry about Japan and Mexico. We can sweep the games with just 50 balls.
Coach: Make fun of the Korean team and you’re history. Got it?!!
I especially like the Japanese player’s buck teeth, the fat Mexican player, the American players with big noses, and the lone African-American player with big lips.
You know, I really want to get behind the Korean team and, when push comes to shove, I will. I’ve got a lot of Korean friends who are taking great joy in this tournament and I’m happy for them. But why can’t the Korean media show just an eensy bit of professionalism?
