A Filipino boxer lost the fight against a Kazakhstan fighter at the London Olympics a few days ago. The Pinoy boxer was 5 inches shorter than the his opponent but that's okay since boxing matches are based on the weight of the boxers and not on their height. The only problem was that the referee is obviously a biased asshole who kept on warning the Filipino boxer about head butting his opponent and even deducted 2 points from the Pinoy.
The referee obviously favored the boxer from Kazakhstan since he never reprimanded, warned or deducted points from the fighter after wrestling, pushing and tripping the Filipino boxer 2 or 3 times to the canvas. It was supposed to be an Olympic boxing match and not an Olympic version of the UFC mixed martial arts. I guess the referee from Canada or something just didn't like brown skinned Filipinos at all. Maybe the referee felt that Pinoys shouldn't beat up white folks and that we should all stick to being caregivers or domestic helpers in their country.
The Filipino boxer immediately filed a protest at the Olympic authorities about the bad officiating but it was immediately denied. Maybe the Olympic authorities also think that Pinoys shouldn't be at the Olympic Games too since we are a poor nation. Remember, the US also filed a protest in one of their boxing matches and the decision was reversed in their favor. I'm not saying that the Olympic authorities should also do the same in our favor but at least they should have looked at the tapes before dismissing the complaint. Maybe the British also think that Filipinos should also stick to being laborers and stop joining the Olympic Games.
Well, they can do whatever they want; it's their nation and it's their show. But next time, they should warn us about the high probability of being cheated if your nation is poor and if it's a Third World country. The modern Olympics began in Athens, Greece in 1896 to promote a more peaceful world. In the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin, Germany; an African-American athlete named Jessie Owens dominated the Track and Field competition. Adolf Hitler, who was then the leader of Germany at that time was impressed at Jessie Owens; although deep inside I suspect that Hitler was really pissed at Owens since Hitler was the Father of all Racists and the Master of all Mass Murderers. Hitler ordered the mass murder and torture of more than 6 Million Jews in Europe during his evil leadership. I don't think Hitler liked Owens, a black guy defeating the "Aryan Race" as what Hitler likes to call his people.
Hey, don't get me wrong. Filipinos are not sore losers; we just don't like being cheated. Yup, I hate cheaters a lot and seeing a fellow Filipino being robbed of a fair and honest decision in an Olympic boxing match is really disgusting. The Olympics should ban biased and prejudiced referees or judges, especially those that seem to be members of the Ku Klux Klan. Lol. The Olympic Games should be kept fair, decent, honest and free from racism and bigotry.
