Far East Cynic

The real purpose of the Olympics…

To kick the shit out of teams from countries who deserve it.

Thus-this news brought a big smile to my face:

VANCOUVER : A rampant United States hammered China 12-1 on Sunday to make it a miserable start to the Year of the Tiger for the Asian team as the world champions made a powerful statement of intent in their bid to regain Olympic gold.

Veteran Jenny Potter scored a hat-trick and Meghan Duggan grabbed a brace as the US threatened early on to break the Games record set just hours earlier by fierce rivals and two-time defending champions Canada, who annihilated Slovakia 18-0 on Saturday.

As US Vice-President Joe Biden looked on, the Americans pounded the Chinese goal from the outset, notching 61 shots on goal to just seven in reply but their rate of scoring slowed after a five-goal blitz in the opening period of the Group B clash.

Now granted this is women’s hockey,  and this is China-so on several fronts,  its not exactly the moral equivalent of beating the Soviet Union 20 years ago.

But it is the start of the Chinese New Year-and anything that puts a bad start on that event for the stinking Chinese commie bastards Chinese nation-is a pretty good thing if you ask me.
