From the story:
'The Zimbabwe African People’s Union party said Thursday some in Zimbabwe’s western Matabeleland province have not forgiven North Korea for training troops who crushed an armed rebellion in the 1980s.
Tens of thousands of civilians in western Zimbabwe died during the five-year Matabeleland uprising.'I certainly can understand people being upset about something like that, but there are two issues here. One is that this was 30 yeas ago.
More importantly, the North Korean players didn't ask to be born in one of the biggest toilets in the world. Protesting an athletic team isn't going to even make Kim Jong-il blink (if he's still capable of blinking). This seems like a waste of everyone's time and isn't fair to some athletes who just happen to be respresenting a terrible country.
