I couldn’t believe this when I first heard it on the news. Seriously, this is the type of stuff that only happens in the movies. You know, where the hero is young and brash, and when he is disqualified for a TaeKwonDo match at the Olympics, he gets mad and punches and kicks the ref in the face and is subsequently banned from the sport forever? He then spends the rest of the movie trying to take on the world, but at the end, finds redemption by realizing his mistake. Or something like that. Cuban’s Angel Matos isn’t a movie character, but he mind as well be. After being disqualified during his Bronze Medal Match for taking too much time for an injury, Matos got pissed and decided to take it out on the Swedish ref. I only have one thing to say: Angel Matos is da man! Who knew the Olympics could be so fun?
