But could you imagine if he had lost? Iran would have been a Muslim laughingstock, and it would have totally brought home the point that maybe Jews can do some things better. $125,000 is a cheap price to pay to avoid the next world war.

Yeah - but that really pissed me off. And that war is/has been fought for a while now. This only fuels the flames. Iran should be kicked out of the Olympics. Can't be running around picking your opponents.

Yeah, behavior like this has no place in the Olympics. The Olympics are all about international cooperation, brotherly competition, and placing sportsmanship above petty concerns like money and business. (Laugh-o-rama!)

I also refused to fight an Israeli champion. I would have kicked his ass, no question about it, but I just couldn't for political reasons... someone give me 100 grand!
