It's like TPC craves negative attention from their haterbase.

TF, my god. You win a tournament and put a fist in the air, walk to your opponent to shake hands is enough to get you disqualified?

so, we saw this uncontrolled behavior in sport-kwon-do too.

Yes, there is plenty of it in there. But do you know what the difference is?

We don't go up and say "sorry, no one can defeat you and therefore you lose."

Nope; we have picked apart gold medalists who did this and kept parading around...easily.

screaming like a raptor upon victory? not after we had zero problems KO'ing them while severely restricting ourselves.



so, if you want to say it is unbecoming (and it is), then send in someone to actually _prove_ it.

the new world order is grasping straws at this rate, and it is very boring.

that is the second time I have heard of that term....is a "snowflake" a term for Special Forces members that can easily kill elite troops with their bare fists and only show emotion where it needs be shown, such as when training, celebrating compassion, and enjoying the excitement of having one's torso nearly shattered and covered in blood or bruises but nevertheless having fun at extreme levels of conditioning, such as brass knuckle repeated hits? I am curious. My former instructor loves that kind of stuff, and bowing after picking apart special ops and more for eight hours a day nonstop lined up forcing him to run the gauntlet having eighty years.

Well, don't think about it much. I'm almost ready to be able to return to the gym, and _that_ makes me happy! I can _finally_ go back and push further!

I really don't understand the "get upset at tunnel rat tasks" mentality here:



given how often the tunnel rats I trained with said it was fun times, and they were very kind around kids and extremely civilized with a sort of friendly grandpa attitude. This man was the main tunnel rat leader that killed many more Viet Cong with his bare fists, and you don't see him traumatized by it, hmm:



but hey, if we are called "snowflakes" due to our chill nature in the face of death, and casually dismissing it without trauma, that makes total sense; no need to be all heated just because of an armed opponent who tries to shoot us, is there?

Wait. They have an in-person tournament... for Pokemon???

This is Rafael Nadal. He is a real sportsman from a real sport. Look at the enthusiasm he express for well-done work


Nadal has not ever been disqualified for his celebrations, nor ever got a warning, or a kind.
Could judges learn a little from their elders before trying to act so light.

Wow, that's some pussy bitch shit. I watched the video of his celebration, he didn't taunt or insult his opponent.


Imagine the betrayal the winner felt, getting good enough to win a tournament, just for the company to go "lol, no". I wouldn't blame this guy for utterly despising Pokemon and Nintendo after this shit.

He probably can't, they got to him in his formative years and now this is part of his identity.

Pokemon Go, as in the shitty phone game, is made by Niantic and has nothing to do with Nintenderp.
