the promised land
first we have the Chinese National team playing an exibition against the MLS team in Utah. The game was almost abandoned when some of the Chinese players refused to play when some fans refused to stop waving Tibetan flags in the stands. Much to the surprise of the fans, the MLS team officials together with the stadium security threw the fans out of the stadium.
Then we had the defection of two players from the Cuban National team, who sought asylum in Houston.
And then yesterday 13 of the 18 players on the Haitian Under-17 National Team disappeared from JFK airport during a layover. They were headed to South Korea in preparation for the U-17 World Cup.
I need a cab for 13 teenagers....Flatbush Avenue please.
