Any idea what this is?

That’s Cuban Taekwondo participant Angel Matos filing an appeal with Swedish referee Chakir Chelbat after getting disqualified for taking to much injury time during the bronze medal match.

Apparently, participants in this “sport” are only allowed 1 minute of injury time.  Matos took to long to patch up a left foot injury so he was disqualified despite leading 3-2.

Matos decided to show Chelbat the tape job that took so long.  A look that cost Chelbat stitches in his lower lip and Matos his Taekwondo career, as he has been banned for life.

If this trend of confrontation continues, Joey Crawford is in trouble next time he tosses a 7 foot tall, 260 pound Tim Duncan out of a game for a case of the giggles.
