Dami galit dito.
The people involved apologized already.
Issue over.
Meanwhile, thousands of Pinoys still want to migrate to Australia.

Exactly
Let's all move on

Apology is the most abused/overused word nowadays. It is often used as a cop-out or to dodge consequences of one's malicious/intentional actions after the fact...after the damage has been done. If you still believe in it, then I have a bridge to sell you. Let's just all intentionally do harm/damage then apologize right after the deed has been done. All will be good then because we apologized. Dammit! I'm entitled to apologize. So there!

Or you can do what Pinoys are known for.
Magdahilan, don't accept responsibility, pass the blame and play the victim card.
Which one is worse?

All kinds of people in this world do that kinda sh!t. To declare that only Pinoys have such trait is ignorant and crab-ish. And it has nothing to do with my point which was totally missed. I was talking about apology becoming a very cheap word or set of words nowadays.

buti na lang sa canada kami nag migrate.. mas maganda lang ang weather dun

Oh, here come the crab card.
Apologies are cheap?
Actually, magdahilan, pass the blame and play the victim card is a lot cheaper .
You know like almost all politicians and govt officials who are caught in a scandal ?
In other countries, they'd apologize and admit fault and be ashamed of themselves .

watch this guys.

the demand for an apology from our side is a joke.

Both sides apologized already.

All lip service. I mean the apologies.

Let it die down to its natural cycle, half-hearted apologies or non-apologies be dammed. That way, everybody learns according to how it should be in the mechanistic natural world.

Guru-ism notwithstanding, all things happen for a reason. Smart-alecky self-loathing gob over the webz is nothing but elevator fart.

This is a basketbrawl waiting to happen, and it takes to tango, so shame on both nations. Remember the Pac-Horn robbery and the Aussie nun that’s being deported by our own Pres. – both controversial stories that might have gripped the 2 nations – setting the stage for this epic ending LMAO.

For me, the Aussies are more at fault here. That scene where their players are pulling the ads in our home court even before the game starts was very irresponsible. Even apologies could no longer restrain everyone from playing bad *** game. It’s already brewing. We’re just waiting for the trigger – and an Aussie player pulled it – with a brutal hit on our player’s neck.

Next scenes were ugly and entertaining though (what with those flying kicks LOL). It’s a free for all and it’s just unfortunate that a lone Aussie was gang-mauled by players, fans and an assistant coach. I can understand the players (Romeo et al), and to some extent the fans, but not the team officials who should have exercised restraint and pacifism (kudos to the Kraken and 2 other players).

But it doesn’t mean Romeo is right. The act cannot be justified. Is he trying to say June Mar cannot be relied on as a teammate even off the court when he opted not to punch? I’m also curious about Chot’s instruction during huddles insinuating someone hit some targets. Whether that’s just being part of basketball folklore, the least that we want to see is when somebody gets hurt.

Question is, could we have avoided it? I really don’t know. For much of the West and the Whites being the cradle of democracy, equality, liberty, etc. – but really as impressed by Mod Miron, they have dark secrets, too. The genes of their brutal ancestors got the better of them. Aussies (or the cagers for that matter) need to show some respect. And we didn’t get that the moment they arrived here in our soil. And with all their whispers referring to us as ‘monkeys’ – cute but expect some retribution.

I find it amusing that this fracas get to world headlines even in CNN at the height of FIFA World Cup. Really, we smile every time we watch the chaotic scenes in the Phils’. now infamous arena (that’s still marketing though). The general consensus is – Filipinos will never be bullied in their home court. We stood tall and mighty against aggressors but critics abroad will say we’re just a bunch of sore losers.

That’s where our team will get hurt the most when FIBA reviews and decides the case. We just hope the same penalty is meted to the Aussies, too.

THANK YOU!!

each will take this depending on how they see their reality.


Its almost IMPOSSIBLE for someone living in the 4 main DIVISION of the BRITISH EMPIRE namely USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA and NZ to VIEW this as an act of a GROUP or CLASS acting and thinking that they are SUPERIOR over another and thus DO act of transgressions. simply put they are already a part of that particular country.

but for others like me in particular. the fvck this is a clear case of BULLYING....

The AUSTRALIAN Team rip off decals from the court?!! that is CRAZY sh1t..... they have no Respect... period.

its time we see ourselves as equals with our white brothers.
