Korean Zombie sons GSP pretty fucking hard

[sonatine]

Dear Mr. Geroges St. Pierre

Hi, My name is Chan Sung Jung from South Korea. As one of many Koreans who like you as an incredible athlete, I feel like I should tell you that many Korean fans, including myself, were shocked to see you in your gi designed after the Japanese 'Rising Sun Flag'. For Asians, this flag is a symbol of war crimes, much like the German Hakenkreuzflagge. Did you know that? I hope not.

Just like Nazis, the Japanese also committed atrocities under the name of 'Militarism'. You can easily learn what they've done by googling (please do), although it's only the tiny tip of an enormous iceberg.


Furthermore, the Japanese Government never gave a sincere apology, and still to this day, so many victims are dying in pain, heartbroken, without being compensated. But many westerners like to wear clothes designed after the symbol under which so many war crimes and so much tragedy happened, which is ridiculous.

I know most of them are not militarists. I know most of them do not approve unjustified invasion, torture, massacre, etc. They're just ignorant. It's such a shame that many westerners are not aware of this tragic fact. Wearing Rising Sun outfits is as bad as wearing clothes with the Nazi mark on it, if not worse.

Since you're influenced by Japanese Martial Arts, your wearing a headband designed after Japanese flag is understandable. But again, that huge 'Rising Sun' on your Gi means something else.

Many people say GSP is the best Welterweight fighter throughout history, to which I totally agree. This means you have a great influence on every single fan of yours all around the world. And I do believe your wearing 'the symbol of War Crime' is a very bad example for them, not to mention for yourself.

So, what do you reckon?
Do you want to wear the same Gi next time as well?

I am sure GSP is asking himself who in the fuck is this retarded gook.

[sonatine]

Really?

You actually think that?

I personally don't think that at all. I am a fan of the Korean Zombie. However since Dana is offering higher profile plates on a silver platter to GSP. His mind is on hella fat paychecks in the near future.

If there is 1 UFC fighter that would take it seriously it's GSP. If he was made aware of this & it's all true he would most likely not display it again on his gi if possible.

A couple of questions though, doesn't he always have that on his gi? Why has this suddenly come to light? Is that statement by the Korean Zombie even legit or is it a hoax?

Well i've always known about it and that it pisses off anyone with chinese blood and that the chinese and japanese don't like each other much. That some french canadian would even care about politics that aren't his is beyond me. Kind of like a white teen from the US wearing a Che Guevara shirt, seriously, who fucking cares? It's the biggest nothing in the universe. GSP walking out with a stain on his gi is a bigger deal than this.

Sounds like a great summation of the situation.

I never said he wouldn't apologize, on the contrary, if this story got off the ground it was inevitable. One will have to wonder now if the japanese will be somehow offended? White boy can't win here. PS, if you think the decision to apologize or ignore this didn't come from Dana, you just don't know how all this shizz works.

Good on him in acting quickly & apologizing. I have to admit I had never heard that connotation of that symbol.

Hopefully it can be put to rest.
