nigelboy - "You're absolutely right. In 2008, the same district enrolled 150 foreign students dispatching translators throught the schools and establishing Japanese Language learning center at eight locations throught the municipal district."

Thank you for backing up my point. One bad school in the bunch, and people start blaming the…

I agree with many, the name of the school should be made public. Absolutely ridiculous.

HOWEVER, I'm equally disgusted with all of the comments like "another example of the evil racism that lies deep within the heart of the Japanese" and "Welcome to the 19th century in Japan. Simply incredible…

pinch hitter - A team has to set an order (from 1-9) for their hitters. A pinch hitter is someone who is substituted for a player in the original 9 hitters. Kawakami, I assume, would've been set to hit 9th in the order, but was replaced by somebody else to…

northlondon - You don't like how Nakamura handled this? Even though he has always wanted to play in La Liga, I think Shunsuke was pretty set on going back to Yokohama, until some bone-headed moves by the club. And if you're not aware of them, 1) After the Qatar match,…

"Yao, at 7-foot-6, is the tallest active NBA player along with Shawn Bradley."

Shawn Bradley hasn't been in the league for years.

smithinjapan - "It seems in light of what happened to Ichiro and even Johjima being a bit behind, as opposed to players who did not take part in the WBC doing amazingly so far in the MBL season, the decision to not allow the best MLB players to join the…

isthistheend - Lee Seung-Youp was tremendous in 2006, and is a Korean legend, but he had a terrible season last year. He only hit 8 HR's all year and he was sent down to the minors as well　and it was his choosing to sit out the WBC. Hope he can…

Blue Tiger - My apologies. I just looked at the clip again, and it's showing the Korean players lining up after they get their medals, and Japan waiting their turn to receive theirs. Not after the entire Korean team received their medals. My mistake.

Blue Tiger - For goodness sakes. Why don't you talk to Bobbafett about the line up. He/she gave Team Korea grief about it. I didn't. I don't know why "proof positive" was in quotes, because I never said that. I couldn't find the TV broadcast of it, so I gave…

smithinjapan - I appreciate your comments. But I really don't know where you've gotten the idea that I've said anything to disrespect Team Korea. Admittedly, I've been here trying to disprove that Japan is the root of all evil, so perhaps that's where you've misinterpreted me, but if you look…
