was it just me or did the Chinese crowd constantly boo whenever the Opals had free throws?

then when the Chinese players were up on the line, they were all chanting 'jia you'

I know they're supporting their team, but the constant booing is so disrespectful, for lack of a better word

Since stazi's in this thread a fair bit, I thought he'd like to know that there's a guy on the Russian volleyball team whose name is Semen.

Ahhh, but so is calling us assholes in a later post.

We're just normal people - really. You should really read David Rosenhan's article: Being Sane in Insane Places.

Why is it so acceptable, then, if you were all 'booing' at the Chinese? Would you have made a corresponding post?

Olympics brings us almost nothing good but further international demarcation and racism.

Booing during free throws is quite common and part of the game; part of having a home crowd advantage. Often the stadiums distribute fluoro wavey things at basketball games to distract the away teams.
