| Lebanese Olympic Judo Team Refuses To Practice Next To Israelis |
| 2012-07-28 |
| Hosts accept coach's demand, and separate the teams with makeshift barrier The Lebanese judo team at the 2012 London Olympics refused to practice next to the Israeli one on Friday afternoon, and a makeshift barrier was erected to split their gym into two halves. According to several Hebrew sports sites, the two teams were scheduled to use the same gym and mats at London's new ExCeL center for their final preparations. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... the delegation from Leb would not train in view of the Israeli team, and insisted some sort of barrier be placed between them. Organizers accepted the Lebanese coach's demand to separate the teams, erecting a barrier so that the Lebanese team wouldn't see the Israeli one. The incident was the first political one between Israel and other countries during the 2012 Games, which don't formally get under way until Friday evening's opening ceremony. It happened only days after the Iranian delegation head stated his nation's athletes would compete with Israelis, a statement which was quickly rejected by Tehran, which tried to suggest that his true sentiment was lost in translation. |

| #13 Similar to pussitis, its a condition where the guts and colon switch relative ratios, usually brought about when a person loses resolve yets continues to talk big. Occasionally there is the swelling of the mamory glands and the mind wonders to how many falafals he can fit in his mouth at once. |

| #5 "can't stand the pressure of seeing how a REAL team does it?" You nailed it, RJ. The whiny little babies can't don't want to be negatively compared to REAL athletes. |

| #1 So with all these (Muzzie) countries refusing to accept/practice/ compete w/ Israel, what happens when it gets down to the finals and they are up against them; if they (the Muzzies)refuse, is that a forfeit, or will the organizers continue to roll over and award co-golds???? |
