F-RC, Day 15, Part 2: So one man's statement takes away his medal, but one team's voguing does NOT?

-- South Korean soccer player Jongwoo Park has forfeited his bronze medal for a political statement made after his team defeated Japan for that medal.

There is a hotly-disputed region in the area, a peninsula called Dokdo in Korea and Takeshima in Japan.  Both countries claim it, and a recent visit by South Korea's president didn't help matters.

After the match, Park raised a sign, stating Korea's contention that the peninsula was theirs.

For this, he is going to be denied his bronze medal.

OK.  I can get that.  But then explain THIS...

Explain to me how this "Vogue" display of arrogance by the US Women's Basketball Team after they won the gold medal today should be allowed...

On the medal stand, they promptly went "Madonna" and vogued for the crowd.

Please end this madness...
