Essentially:

1- Fans of the Urawa soccer club attend a game, hold up a banner reading "JAPANESE ONLY"
2- The staff fail to do anything about this until after the game
3- For whatever reason (it's not stated in the article), J League finds out about this
4- They are so upset by the racial discrimination, lack of handling by the club, and subsequent damage to the league's image that they decide to punish the club
5- Club's punishment is having to play a game without selling tickets (as in, no audience, and they lose money having to run the stadium without profits received)

It's really nice to see a group in Japan (or really, pretty much anywhere in Asia) taking action on racial discrimination. It's one of those bizarre things that makes you feel like you're living in the 70s, where everything is supposed to be clean and modern, and suddenly there's this thing that you thought didn't even exist anymore.

That's a pretty common punishment in most Leagues actually. Happens in Europe all the time. All 5 points are a pretty common occurrence. It's impossible for black players to play in Spain or Ukraine as fans are notorious for making money noises at them, and throwing bananas onto the pitch.

Common in most leagues, but it's the first time that J League has ever done this.

hold up a banner reading "JAPANESE ONLY"

Incidentally, it turns out they were only looking for a party in FFXI.

Fred Phelps Dies, or as I like to call it, DING DONG, THE WITCH IS DEAD.

Okay I generally find it in bad taste to celebrate one's death, but this guy, well, I hope that God has sent him straight to Hell and he is now experiencing the rudest awakening possible.

I think I accidentally a date this evening, which would've been nice if the girl was my type.

Have dinner, talk, leave the cafe. There's a ball coming up for my school, so there's a few people giving dance lessons, I figured I may as well go, although I don't actually intend to dance. Girl goes with me, I half figure she'll be my partner because assumptions, the minute we get there she MY TOES her way out of it, exeunt boring girl.

There were about twelve people there, with I think 8 of those being guys. A couple of girls show up, see me, whispering and giggling to the surprise of nobody. They pair us off, guy who was running the thing paired me with the cutest one. Proceed to practice dancing, body language, body language everywhere.

Anyway she's in the PoliSci program, and as I'm sure you all know, I'm in law. I wouldn't mind studying international relations with her sometime.


be glad it's almost 2AM, or I would've made that into a shaggy dog story.

This is what I get for playing these silly chain-letter games on Facebook.

I participated in that a few months ago. This is what I got:

"Her hands that rested on the pew before her were in a similar state, as though she had been a victim of starvation."

Anyway, my favorite lines from Kid Icarus: Uprising:

Viridi: Those floor panels alternate between hurting you and not hurting you. They don't seem to have any affect on those Underworld enemies, though. Odd.
Chariot Master: It's a known issue. It'll be resolved in the next version of the tower.

First heard these lines back during my Final Fantasy XI prime.

Only because I see some of the members of this forum illustrated here.

"She held the hatch open for him, then jumped in after. The hatch then sealed itself shut behind her."

Hmm. Let's try another book.

. . . it ended up being the B/W edition of the national Pokédex. Page 45 is on Wigglytuff, and elucidates all its evolutionary line's moves.
